I wouldn't necessarily say westerns are a lightweight genre. But clearly they're a chronologically limited one. North by Northwest , L.A. Confidential and There will be Blood are clearly dramas set in the west that I would all give acting oscars to. But they're not "westerns" since they a...

How striking. I can imagine nominating performances in westerns. But the only oscar I'd give one is Virginia Mayo's supporting performance in Colorado Territory . Not sure I understand what you're saying here, but it sounds like it is that westerns are a lightweight genre and thus no performance in...

Ten Performances in a Western Deserving of an Oscar (Best or Supporting): Walter Matthau, 'Lonely are the Brave Robert Ryan, 'The Wild Bunch' Chuck Connors, 'The Big Country' Marlene Dietrich, 'Destry Rides Again' Karl Malden, 'Nevada Smith' Alan Ladd, 'Shane' Josh Brolin, 'No Country for Old Men' ...

Anyway, i saw a noir earlier today from 1951 called The Scarf. It reunited two of the supporting players (John Ireland and Mercedes McCambide) of All the King's Men in a psychological study of a man, convicted of his wife's murder, (Ireland) who escapes from a mental asylum and tries to piece toget...

I don't recall seeing commercials when I watched Goodbye Charlie, so if I was a betting man, I would bet that TCM has shown the film.

I hope nobody is insulted by this, but I wonder if people might confuse Goodbye Charlie with the film The Rat Race , another comedy that stars both Debbie Reynolds and Tony Curtis that was made in the 60’s. The Rat Race (1960) has been shown on TCM 5 times in the past, all during the year 2008 but ...

Your knowledge of film far exceeds mine, Dargo, but are you sure those aren't the Chatsworth hills scenery? (Both celebrities shared Encino dwellings.) Oh, and one more note of possible interest here NS... For many years one of my fellow airline workers, a guy named Alan "Rudy" Ruddach, g...

Test post to see if I get a SQL error due to this tread being created by a users who it appears all post were deleted (like the 1st post at this thread).

I did notice an issue last night (PST), with post from Kingrat and Skimpole. I would read their last 'unread' post and then use the display unread post function and it would still show that I had NOT read those post. I logged off and back on and still had the same issue. When I would try to apply to...

I'm watching an episode of Dale Robertson in Tales of Wells Fargo TV show and I say to myself that Lisa Gaye has never looked so fine and that her acting was really good. But once I see the credits I see the actress is Debra Paget. Lisa and Debra were sisters and thus they looked very similar with D...

Nice photo of Lombard but there is sadness there as well, since the photo must have been taken shortly before her plane crashed on January 16th, 1942.

One of my favorite noir films and favorite Lang directed film. Jeanette Nolan as the widow is a stand-out character in the film; she wants her cut and is going to do what it takes to get it. The overall interactions between the cops in management positions (e.g. Lt. Ted Wilks played by the solid cha...
