I have been watching Lily Pons in I dream Too Much with a very young Henry Fonda and Lily is marvelous. Lily Pons in That Girl From Paris. I love Lily but the movie script and dialogue was not good. Evelyn Laye in One Heavenly Night and also Evelyn Laye in The Night Is Young. I love Evelyn Laye and ...

Rich Young And Pretty is my favorite Jane Powell movie but mostly because of Danielle Darriuex who is absolutely charming and adorable as Janes secret Mother.

There are two performances of "The Bell Song" from Lakme that I have seen and adore. One is from a pop musical "It Happened in Brooklyn" (1947) starring Frank Sinatra and Kathryn Grayson. Kathryn Grayson does the honors here and does a mgnifiscent job singing Lakme. The second is...

Now I can report that the Romance Collection is a winner. Each DVD has an introduction by Robrt Osborne, the host of TCM. One of the DVDs also has an interview with John Pasternak about Deanna the early years. All five DVDs have special feature which have many special still photos of Deanna both pos...

"It Happened In Brooklyn" is my most memorable and enjoyable film. Frank sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, Peter Lawford, & Jimmy Durante make this thoroughly a great movie. They sing and sing and sing. This Black & White is one to remember.

I can report that I only saw two movies and not in their entirety but they were great For The Love Of Mary was brilliant with deep shades of black and white and excellent sound quality. I also viewed Mad About Music and got the same impression. All five movies were on separate DVDs and seem to all h...

Back in the 30-50s New York City movie theaters were magnates for kids playing hookie from school mostly because of the "Big Band" performances during school hours. Truant Officers would roam the theaters to catch the kids. Some theaters even had children's section to restrict the kids. Ot...

This is a forgotten musical movie that features some great musical performances. The cast performs throughout and includes Marge & Gower Champion, Debbie Reynolds, Bob Fosse, and Helen Wood. This is a first class musical with little plot nonsense muddling the performances. Lots of dancing and gr...

This is a great question. I totaly agree that all of us are persuaded to dislike someone if they constantly play a dark role. I even choose my modern day theater movies based on my like or dislike of the star. I have been racking my brain to come up with turn offs from yesteryear and can only think ...

I agree with many on the list but I reserve decision pending the movie they were in.

My list includes:

George Murphy
Edward Evert Horton
Leo Carrol
Ezio Pinza
Jack Carson
Richard Widmark

Bette Davis
Ethal Merman
Joan Crawford

I am looking to increase my collection of Irene Dunne movies and was surprised to see "myoldmanmovies.com" website lists 27 movies of hers. I already have a few but that is a lot to buy, even at only $3.75 per movie (discounted). I noticed that in the 30s Irene was drawn to movies about ad...

Hi Moira, I am new with this site so you do not know me. But I love the site so much and the people who are part of it that I feel you have been a missing spoke in this well crafted wheel. Get well very soon so we can all strengthen our collective resolve and roll on. My blessing to you carry a lot ...

I agree with Anne about needing a Female. Most movies made included a female somewhere as though all writers/directors felt it was a catalyst to grabbing the viewing public. They need Women's money now and always did. I am not a Feamale but I did see almost all of Anne's movies. I too am in love wit...
