I think CharlieChaplin fan will know this better than me, but as far as i believe A Woman Of Paris was at the time of release in 1923 a box office failure and as a result Edna never apart from alledged cameos never worked again. Though i do wonder about the later film that was never made A Woman Of ...

Anne the age thing maybe isn't so much a problem these days, but i think the difference in social class still might be. i mean how many executives would want to go out with a cleaner for example or a top business woman with a brick layer. it's maybe not as bad as it was, but i think it's still there...

They have a professional relationship, but are close friends. both however, have been or are married with children. Victoria hasn't appeared in anything American i can think off. I'll see if i can find a link for you. i'm sorry but for some reason some links work on this site some don't. however, it...

Yes there was a tribute show that ran on Broadway. i remember because there were headlines of guest artist Roger Moore having a heart flutter, to which he's recovered with a pacemaker installed Ernie as in his shows character believed himself to be a great writer, hense the catchphrase The Play What...

I know many in America admire and respect the work of Julie Walters, but i can't write about her and not Victoria Wood, who is unknown. their joined at the hip just the same as Laurel And Hardy One of the first things the pair first came to UK tv screens with The Wood And Walters Show. around the sa...

Claire Bloom is in her mid to late 70s now and she's still fanciable even now. She could pass for under 60, she's incredible, at least when i saw her last as Martin Clunes' mother in the popular UK series Doc Martin Anthony Hopkin's once said that he decided to become an actor after seeing Limelight...

Andrew V McGlaglen is in my opinion an underrated director, who has lived in the shadow of both John Ford and Anthony Mann as a great film maker. his bond with Ford is the fact he's the son of Victor McGlaglen and made many of John Wayne's later films. with Mann it's the James Stewart connection. he...

I'm sure many notice that during the 50s middle aged actors were playing increasingly oppisite younger women. it would take to long to go throught the list, but in 50s Westerns two actors Randolph Scott and Joel McRae appeared usually with younger actresses like Karen Steele, Angela Lansbury, Barbar...

i think to The Blue Lamp is an important film for all the actors involved. it helped turn Dirk Bogarde into a major film star it turned Jack Warner from a respected character actor into a tv superstar when he brought Dixon back from the dead in Dixon Of Dock Green it's the earliest film where i reca...

Two Way Stretch is possibly intersting for this reason. in the 70s in the UK we had a tv series called Porridge which may have been inspired by the film. Porridge was so popular it was made into a more or less classic comedy film itself, which i don't think is known in America. It stared Ronnie Bark...

i haven't seen Gideon's Day in yrs and when i did i didn't realise who Anna Lee was. she's an actress, who i felt was a little hard done by in the case of John Ford, who usually put her in small almost cameo roles. however, she was a great actress and proved in How Green Was My Valley and Fort Apach...

Spoiler Alert! My favourite Maggie Smith is a little known May to December love story called Love Pain And The Whole Damn Thing. she plays a dying 30 something woman on holiday on a singles bus tour in Europe. Tough only in her 30s she looks very much like a middle aged spinster. also on the tour is...

Spoiler Alert! All That Heaven Allows is my favourite all time love story with Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman. I love the themes in the film. The older widowed woman and the younger man the social pressures of her being more or less rich and he working class her adult children, who are against the relat...

I know most think Chaplin's tramp made his last appearence in Modern Times. 'The Tramp Can't Talk, Once He Does He's Dead,' said Robert Downey jnr in his potrayal of the great man. however, i was wondering if a point can be made for suggesting the Jewish barber in The great Dictator was still The Tr...

I know some in America know of Eric Morcambe and Ernie Wise because of their appearences on The Ed Sullivan show in the 60s. Eric and Ernie were by this time big tv stars in the UK and naturally enough they went into films and made four. The Intelligence Men, a daft James Bond type spoof, a half dec...
