How about " Villains you Love to Hate " ? " Leading Men and/or Ladies that you can't Stand " "Remakes that are Actually Better than the Original " " A Horror Thread " -- and I don't mean Tom Cruise and/or Jerry Lewis films "Biblical Epics " :wink: :w...

Tis Herself Maureen O' Hara's Bio is one film autobiography that I would recommend . A number of review on Amazon.com thought it a little self - centered. I didn't.

Oh yes ! Whit Bissell is in this film.

The 1931 version with Ricardo Cortez and Bebe Daniels IMHO was pre - code and more frank in its sexual implications than the Bogart - Huston version, except when it came to " the Fatman - Wilmer - Cairo " connection, or am I missing something ?

Fantastic in George Cukor's " The Women ". She was also exceptionally good in " Mourning Becomes Electra ". Her " Auntie Mame " was a tour deforce ( if one is permitted to use that term in regard to comedy ) Any thoughts, pro or con ?

I think the GW Bush is the worst in U.S. History, who are your nominees for the best. A second question - Who would you like to see as the next President ?

Many months ago, on the TCM boards, I started an Ella thread, recently another Ella thread emerged " over there ". She was one of the great ladies of 40's noir, she was also in that very entertaining John Wayne Western - Comedy - Mystery " Tall in the Saddle ", with Gabby Hayes. ...

Red River Directed by Howard Hawks. El Dorado by Hawks, and The Dark Command by Raoul Walsh get my votes. True Grit Directed by Henry Hathaway is fairly low on my list. Tall in the Saddle, with Ella Raines, is a more entertaing film than Grit.

Kyle,
Again Thank You VERY much for the Anita pics.

I think Anita Morris would have been great in Westerns, at a Dance Hall Gal. On the other hand today's few Film Western are not to my liking, so I am so that she would have been wasted.

If Linda Darnell was not at Fox I believe her career would have been more noteworthy. RKO and Fox ( to a lesser degree ) miss used Maureen O " Hara. Joan Bennett needed Fritz Lang Direction to show her true talent. Ann Dvorak, perhaps because of her temperment, career was most disappointing. Th...

Another fantastic noir from Jules Dassin. Lee Cobb steals the film, but Valentina Cotesa is great ( and very sexy ). Morris Carnovsky and Jack Oakie also shine. Richard Conte stars and is very good. The DVD include an interview with Dassin and his comments along are worth the price.

Is a great noirish Western Directed by Henry King with great performances by Gregory Peck and the underrated Millard Mitchell. I wish that it was available on DVD.

Is a fast paced witty noirish mystery - chase film with Mitchum up against Wiiliam Bendix, Ptric Knowles, and John Qualen ( what ) and Ms greer. It is great fun, from RKO with Don Siegel directing, one of his best and earliest. l

Being an eccentric recluse that never leaves the house I am unable to make a nomination, and anyway I stole this thread from the TCM Boards.
