Re: Which director had the most "greatest performances" of an actor

I'd like to include Fred Zinnemann since I believe he directed these actors and actresses to their best performance. Gary Cooper in High Noon (1952) Ethel Waters in The Member Of The Wedding (1952) Montgomery Clift in From Here To Eternity (1953) Don Murray in A Hatful Of Rain (1957) Audrey Hepburn ...

Re: July 2024 Schedule Posted, Eva Marie Saint is SOTM

I hope Cancel My Reservation isn't one of them! Yes, that's the 1972 one she did with Bob Hope, I never saw it but heard it was a disaster. However she also worked with Hope on the 1956 film That Certain Feeling . In Leonard Maltin's movie guide he gave it a BOMB rating, another movie guide book (b...

Re: Really? You've NEVER seen that Classic Film?

I have never seen The Wages Of Fear (1953) , it is on the IMDB top 250 list and many consider it one of the greatest foreign language films.

I have seen the 1977 American remake Sorcerer which I did not like.

Hey Ritchie, the Yankees took two today.

And this was just two years before both the Giants and the Dodgers left for California.

One of my top ten films, Aunt Catherine had many of the funniest lines. When she talked about her daughter in law- "She's a witch, that one! You know what she did to me yesterday, she gimme the evil eye!"
