jdb1: "I agree about Remick, Mike. I think she's beautiful, but in a cold and distant way, which does not comport with the types of characters she plays." Wow! To each his own, I know...but have you seen her in "The Long Hot Summer" or in "Anatomy of a Murder." Nothing ...

I'm going to have to go with Rock Hudson & Doris Day. Their trilogy of films were hilarious and their chemistry...well, I think they were soulmates on screen!

Aaaah, Carry on. Here in NYC on channel 4, late late at night I saw Carry On Cabbie, Carry On Cleo, Carry On Nurse...and my absolute favorite: Carry On Cruising.

Love the British sense of humour.

I saw the Eve Arden YouTube interview and was totally enchanted by her. I've always loved her in movies. She brought the star down a peg with her pointed sarcastic dose of reality. "Mildred Pierce" "Stage Door" "Comrade X" and "Anatomy of a Murder" to name jus...
