Hi Stuart
I gave you a reply on your John Mills subject .Its nice to have you here
Cheers Inglis

For my opening post I wanted to pay tribute the man, who I consider the greatest of all British actors working in the confines of The British Film Industry. Mills made an astonishing amount of classic British movies. He supported Robert Donat in Goodbye Mr. Chips, playing a former public school pup...

I talked about this film on Favorite noir as I had seen it and was wondering if this is classified as noir ..I had mentioned Laura too .

That will be a good one there are so many great ones to choose from .I can't wait

My favorite is Laura .I always thought it was noir and I am not all that educated on what makes noir but if its dark and mysterious I guess that makes it for me. I just watched Union Station on tcm this morning .Is that noir ? I thought it had a bit of comedic touch though with Barry Fitzgerald

Hey inglis, glad you are also a fan. I posted on this film for a couple of reasons: 1) I personally like the movie. It has loads of flaws, but I'm not one of those kinds of people who likes the term "Guilty Pleasure" which is often termed as an excuse to enjoy a less than perfect film. If...

Hi ! I was surprised to come on and see talk about this movie..I Love this movie .A friend of mine who is long gone now was a big fan of this movie.He talked and talked about it all the time .I ended up watching it with him and I thought it was really good .The different gangs and how they dressed ....

I enjoy this movie too.

Thanks Chris !

Hi Judith! I have never heard of this movie you mentioned Dancing at Lughsana.is it a recent movie ? Dancing at Lughsana , by the Irish playwright Brian Friel, had a very successful run on Broadway in the 90s. It's about five unmarried sisters who live together in a small town in Ireland (I think i...

Maybe Wayne's "laughing" at his cowboy image was more modesty than any kind of embarassment. I'm sure Wayne was rightly proud of his work. He wasn't a star but Ben Johnson belongs in the true western cowboy group. 5 bonus points for using "chimerical." Hi Chris ! What was the na...

Yes, Carole, I agree that Streep has a talent for accents. Did you see her (and hear her) being Irish in Dancing at Lughsana ? Being able to recreate the regional accents of any place is a talent in itself. We could probably come up with many actors who have that talent - Peter Sellers, for instanc...

You sure can ,if I can be Mrs Howell .

In Sophie's Choice and Out Of Africa, Meryl Streep is outstanding with her different accents and her stuck up pitch in Devil Wears Prada was excellent.

I have to say that although I love To Kill A Mockingbird .LibertyValance is my choice .If The Searchers were in the running with To Kill A Mockingbird ,it might be a different ballgame.I am a big Wayne fan so I am sticking to the Duke and Stewart in this one .

Seems like Help was a big gift this Christmas .Charlie I got The Searchers collection dvd for my birthday in May .We watched it again on Wed night,just fantastic all the added features .
