Moira: That picture just split my heart in two!!! Just yesterday, my Lynzi very proudly brought home a library book 'With Chapters!' (her words and exclamations). So of course she had to read a chapter to me. Everyday, she reads something to me after homework. Anyway, that pose in the picture, and t...

Klondike: I'm good on names of people I know, but not much on characters unless they really strike my fancy. Your mention of Ford not keeping elements of his family name made me think of some of the characters in his movies. It seems to me he used Sean a lot, and Aloysious, and Feeney, in at least a...

Ditto on your post SueSue. I have to say my beautiful Bob is the epitome of the film noir antihero. That was his very best genre, and his teamings with Jane Russell were unmatched. Bogey and Bacall were great also, but I seriously don't think they elicited the electricity that Bob and Jane did. See ...

It's odd that this particular topic is here today. I wrote about it earlier over at TCM city. In the first place Doris was 38 in 1962 when this film was made. I recall some critics stating "if you can accept a 38 year old virgin, you may like this movie". Doris is a 'cute' actress, not an ...

I have to add my thanks to Jon for this terrific site. Now if I could just find a way to get to the most recent posts without scrolling, it would be perfect! Thanks to both jon and moira for their help with my Avatar. Finally thanks to moira for giving us the Yahoo board as an interim relief from TC...

I mentioned a fact on TCM the other day about 'Without Reservations' . Did you realize that Cary Grant and Claudette Colbert never made a movie together? That cameo that Grant does where they are dancing is the only time the two were ever on film together. I too, have loved Claudette forever. She wa...

In viewing my new Western Encore channel, I have revisited so many old westerns. The leading ladies are always different, but some are repeated in several movies. Only a couple of them are well known today, like Jeanne Crain, but for the most part, they stayed in 'B' westerns and film noir most of t...

It's been a long time since I saw 'the Unconquered' but I remember a green gown that Paulette wears, and most of all the drop through the water fall as Coop catches hold of a hanging branch, and the magnet which causes the 'little arrow' to stay put pointing at the chief on the compass. If this is y...

I am mesmerized by 'The Lake House'. I saw it for the first time Friday. I believe it was totally panned by critics, and some people have trouble keeping track of what is happening, but, being a great fan of time travel, and time displacement, I did fine. I did watch it a second time on Sunday to ca...

Go with it pktrekgirl!

How about designating Foreign Language Films? As was told me by someone who shall remain nameless, ALL foreign films are not foreign language, like English, Irish, Australian, etc. I like the In Memorium and In Celebration idea. As for actors and actresses. I think a specific forum is unnecessary be...

Such a terrific diversion for Gregory Peck! Did you know that he grew that mustache because he felt that his face was too smooth for a gunfighter, so he grew the mustache to make him remember to look mean. He hated it.

JulieMarch4th: You're a new 'face' - Welcome to the boards. You are very correct in your discussion of People Will Talk, but I've seen this movie so many times, I can quote passages from it. The reason I think of it as a comedy is every single interchange between Grant and Crain is loaded with doubl...

I really like the semi-anti hero. Our cowboys heroes were always so much bigger than life, and seeing them as 'real' people with problems and needing help both physically and emotionally adds to the stories for me. I think Jimmy Stewart was a great choice to begin with because he always seemed so he...
