I'm a big fan of JB. His appeal is not so different from Errol's, and it is hard not to make the comparisons. I think Counsellor-at-Law contains John's last truly great performance. He is not in heavy make-up and not parodying himself, he is turning in an honest, human performance and gets to flex h...

A thread dedicated to Gary Cooper artwork.......would finish me!! *thud* He deserves a whole Metropolitan Museum as far as I'm concerned!! John & Sue Sue: I love How to Marry a Millionaire. I recently loaned my copy out to a friend and she's enjoying it so much. Everyone I've shown it to likes i...

Excellent post, Sue Sue and interesting observations. Very scary about the students, though. Hope they catch on! I believe the direction Jacques Tourneur gave Jane was framed in his question, "Do you know what the french word, impassive means?" Then Jane understood exactly what he wanted. ...

I'm sure everyone would be impressed, it was a work of art, and as you say, you had marvelous "material" to work with!

For me it's Bogie with Powell a close runner-up. As much as I love Bobby M. and admire his daring (at the time) subjective use of the camera in Lady in the Lake , it's just not as appealing as the others. I like what Moira quoted of Chandler's views. You can also add that Powell looks more like Marl...

Sad to say, I don't think I've ever seen a Clara Bow movie, though I've read so much about her I feel like I have! I hope TCM will give her a mini-marathon one day so I can play catch-up. Thank you for posting about this one. She and Gary Cooper had a hot thing going for a while, so I'd really like ...

It was in the Films and Filmmakers thread. It was a really loooong post about why I love this film so much so you aren't missing anything, lol!

But I still highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

I like the suggestion of older performers or scholars. The best one they had in my opinion, was Peter Bogdanovich, because he knew so many of the people invovled and could tell amusing anecdotes about them. I wouldn't mind having him back, in fact. Another possibility is Nick Clooney, but I'm really...

>>My avatar is from The Man With a Cloak (1951). It's a decent, little mystery movie that pops up on TCM every now and then. Leslie Caron is in it as well. << Well now a bell has rung---I have seen that movie! I'd completely forgotten about it. It was very interesting, something I didn't expect and ...

I'm loving everybody's Avatar's so far. There are some really creative ones. I can't believe Ken doesn't have that redheaded chick for his...come on Kenny!

I love A Night in Casablanca and Duck Soup. Oh, well, I love all the Marx Brothers!

Even Tony Martin.

Hi! Love that Avatar with Flynn! You know, I still have that beautiful GC desktop you created on my office PC. I won't give it up!

Sugarpuss:

I hope the print is good too.

Re: Wayne & Arthur; Amazingly, women whose political views were polar opposite to his adored him: Kate Hepburn and Lauren Bacall.

P.S. What movie is your avatar from? I'm straining my brain to remember what movie Barbara starred with Joseph Cotten...

Hi Julie, I've never seen Critic's Choice ---in fact, there are several BH movies I want to see, including They Got Me Covered , Caught in the Draft and The Cat and the Canary . I also want to rent some of his TV specials because I was too young to remember the last few that aired. I vaguely recall ...

Ken---you are too funny. I want to say I like her with Brian Keith almost as much as with the Duke.

Julie---Hi there!! I'm so glad to see more and more familiar "faces"!
