With CharlieChaplinFan encouragement I will start a new thread concerning the reality behind Cover Girl starring Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth - this new thread will be out sometimes in a week or two. The whole truth behind this Musical that was released in 1944. CharlieChaplinFan wants me to share ...

Does your friend know anything of Cohn and Jean Arthur, I can't imagine him getting anywhere with her, yet she was Columbia's biggest star. CharlieChaplin - and all members of SSO - I love Gene Kelly in both Cover Girl and Singin in the Rain ... to me that's is his greatest musical that he ever don...

That's why Gene Kelly can't wait to get home because he can't stand Rita's professionalism at all. *Gene Kelly* can't stand his leading lady's *professionalism*??? Sources for this? From what I've read, Kelly was very protective of Hayworth, who was under assault from Harry Cohn, who wanted her for...

MRSL and Everyone here at SSO I've seen about 40% of all Rita Hayworth's movies in my lifetime - she something like 60 plus films. 1 Gilda 1946 1. 2 Cover Girl 1944 2. 3a You’ll Never Get Rich 1941 3. 3b You Were Never Lovelier 1942 4. 3c Affectionally Yours 1941 5. 3d The Lady in Question 1940 6. 4...

Kingme, In the late 1920s, in the wake of various scandals that captivated the country (both good and bad), there was a great deal of talk of censorship and the movies. To keep the church and the feds at bay, the moguls who ran the studios decided that self-policing would be preferable to governmen...

Hi Kingme. You've come across a pretty interesting subject. I first became aware of this "genre" when TCM aired a series of films to mark the publication of film historian Mick LaSalle's book "Complicated Women." He focuses on female screen personalities playing characters that ...

Can anyone here can tell me what a PreCodes is? I know Silents - but - this is the first time I heard this term - maybe I seen some of them by accident and I would like some help in this. I hate to start a new thread to ask this question - but my heart tells me that I want to learn more about the w...

Uncle Stevie

It is a HAT ... I had to do a double take - and it is a HAT! ... good eye ... Uncle Stevie :!:

I'm haunted by Cover Girl . It's got me. I can't figure out why. I loved it as a kid. Does it tap into some subconcious memories of idyllic childhood? Y'all know I love musicals. But usually this appreciation is derived from the art of the dance, or the music, or the vocal interpretation of a song....

Ha ha! You guys are both the greatest! It's wonderful to have a surprise birthday party here at the SSO with all my friends..and just a little bit early, to ensure it really is a surprise! Thank you very very much. Happy Birthday and Anniversary at the same time. Thanks again ... for the encouragem...

Hey, Guys, having just posted over in the Uninvited thread, I'm reminded of another film so howlingly bad, it's fun, fun, fun! Remember X - The Man with the X-Ray Eyes ? Talk about your live-action comic books! And Milland takes it all so seriously - everybody else on the screen have half a smirk g...

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER I saw Expendables last year and he had very cute CAMEO in this movie - and a did a nice job doing so. After spending 7 years as Governor of California - he wants to get back into acting - Now my dear friends - he is over the age of 65 years old - how you feel if he make a COME...

Cliff Robertson was great as Shame (parodying Shane [1953]), but I guess top honors would go to Mr. Freeze who was played by George Sanders, Otto Preminger, and Eli Wallach in various episodes. My favorite cameo: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqNtETo7OYA[/youtube] Mr. Arkadin, Mr. Freeze ...
