I remember Gregory In the western TEXAS LADY where he takes a shine to Claudette Colbert but loses her to Barry Sullivan!

Fine performance from Walter in EDGE OF DARKNESS as Ann Sheridan's father who eventually realises he cannot stand on the sidelines. He memorably sang "September Song" (Kurt Weill) in the Broadway show, KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY in 1938. (Charles Coburn in the movie version) I also liked him in...

Thank you for reminding us of this fine actor. I recall him also in DEADLINE AT DAWN, and in EDGE OF DARKNESS, as the little man who kept thinking what he wanted to say to the Nazis and finally proving his bravery.

Was lucky enough to see Judi on stage as "Desiree" in Sondheim's A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. She was sensational and her "Send in the Clowns " is the best I have ever heard.So moving.

Love Ann Dvorak. Hopefully a biography of Ann is in the works. There is a website devoted to Ann. She's so good in I WAs AN AMERICAN SPY and sings beautifully, "Because of You". Also love her with Randolph Scott in ABILENE TOWN. She should have been one of Warners top stars but went to Eng...

I love Hermann's music especially NORTH BY NORTHWEST.. It is interesting to listen to the soundtrack for ON DANGEROUS GROUND and realise that Mr Hermann re-used some of the themes in North By Northwest. Also interesting to hear Hermann's titles music for TORN CURTAIN which wasn't used, but I'd do li...

What wonderful pictures of Ann. Thank you, everyone.
I adore COME NEXT SPRING and think Ann, Steve Cochran , Sherry Jackson and Richard Eyer gave terrific performances.
Also love Ann inTHE UNFAITHFUL and I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE.
And she could sing too!

Good topic. I think most producers were simply executives, deciding what films would be made,who would direct and star in them. But after reading MEMO FROM DAVID O. SELZNICK and MEMO FROM DARRYL F. ZANUCK , you begin to understand that some producers really were creative and contributed a lot to the...

Oh yes, what a beautiful voice.
Such a pity Victor got typecast as the heavy in so many films. That's why it's such a pleasure to see him in something like FIGHTING MAN of THE PLAINS in a sympathetic role as the saloon owner trying to help Randolph Scott.
I had no idea he did so much TV

Thank you for lovely tribute to Jan Sterling. I recently saw Jan in a film new to me SLAUGHTER ON Tenth AVENUE in which she played a character entirely different from anything I had seen her in before, with little makeup, no fancy clothes , just sheer dramatic acting ability. Surely one of her fines...

Wonderful to see all the tributes to Robert Ryan and to read the interview with his daughter and Marsha Hunt. My favorites of Robert include ON DANGEROUS GROUND, BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK, THE SET-UP. Can I say generally that I am so envious of the great festivals and screenings of classic Hollywood tha...

Thank you,Moirai. I love Silver Screen Oasis and am enjoying working my way through so many of the interesting posts. And some lovely photos too.
Glad too that everyone seems to be friendly .

I think Melvyn Douglas was ideal as leading man to Garbo, Irene Dunne, Joan Crawford,Grace Moore. Urbane,charming, with a smile ever present.A relaxed manner perfect for romantic comedies. Tonight I watched WICKED AS THEY COME which has the most surprising father and daughter duo I have ever seen - ...

Don't normally like remakes, but prefer An Affair to Remember, mainly because I'm not a fan of Charles Boyer. Would have loved Grant and Dunne together. I agree Cary can convey so much with his facial expressions. He is so moving too in the scene where he touches the chairs where Deborah Kerr and Ca...

Worth watching if only for Finlay Currie's "Shunderson" and his story of how he escaped death. - that wonderful accent. Hume Cronyn did what he could with an unsympathetic character. And as much as I love Cary Grant I tend to agree he seemed not quite comfortable with his character and und...
