Thanks, Bronnxgirl, for show GREASE 2 the love that it deserves.


I do enjoy it very much, and Maxwell Caulfield was so gorgeous. Who cared if he couldn't act, lol.
Indeed!

He had a lovely nude scene in Entertaining Mr. Sloane, which I saw many years ago at the Cherry Lane Theatre.

Maxwell Caufield must have enjoyed removing his clothes. On the DVD set for Dynasty II: The Colbys, he admitted in an interview (filmed in 2016) included as a bonus on the set that the producers of the upcoming show were told to go see him in a play to see if he was right for the show, and it was some off-Broadway play with Jessica Tandy that he was fully nude for the entirety of the play.

Looking at the Lortel Archives, which chronicles the credits for off-Broadway shows, I see that the show he did after Entertaining Mr. Sloane was Salonika, with Jessica Tandy, in which he would have been nude. And the show after that was My Night with Reg, in which he played John, a character who also has a nude scene!

Lucky you, Swithin!

By the way, I just saw PRICK UP YOUR EARS on ScreenPix. Didn't know much if anything about the life of Joe Orton and was very taken with Gary Oldman's performance. Wonderful actor. I love Alfred Molina as well. Both so talented and versatile.

Poor Jessica. She had to go home to Hume Cronyn.

Of film, baseball and the San Fernando Valley, I'm looking forward to the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson discussion of "THE BAD NEWS Bears" on TCM this Saturday...

Yes! I just mentioned Jackie Earle Haley in another thread.

Gotta love those bad boys with freckles . . .

I like Jackie Earle in BREAKING AWAY, especially his scene at the gas station.

More likely the producers couldn't depend on just his acting ability.

That reminds me of a review I read about Jude Law's performance in the movie Wilde. Jude Law had been in a play (which I saw) called Les Parents Terribles, by Jean Cocteau, in which he has a nude scene. He then appeared nude in Wilde. In a review in the Spectator, the critic wrote (playing on a famous quote of Wilde's), "Jude Law has nothing to declare but his penis."

If I recall correctly there were quite a few famous actors who played Oscar Wilde himself in films about the trials, including Peter Finch and even Robert Morley.

As the saying goes, why go out for steak when you have hamburger at home . . .

lol, more often than not I go for a good hamburger over any cut of steak.

However, I do draw the line at Hume Cronyn.

Yeah, I'm with you on the hamburger thing.

But I would have to also go with Maxwell Caulfield for the win!
