Robert Ryan: The Man and His Films

[Vienna]

Hi Vienna. You're writing from the U.K.? Where are you exactly and how did you come to classic films?

I'm from the part of the UK that would like to be independent - Scotland! - well, I would, anyway.
Watching TV I guess was my way into vintage Hollywood. But British films never did anything for me!
I guess we all have our favorite films we can watch again and again. Mine include ARMORED CAR ROBBERY, THE SATAN BUG, SEVEN MEN FROM NOW, HANGMAN's KNOT, THE SET UP, THE UNFAITHFUL, IMPACT, THE LAST WAGON, 99 RIVER STREET, THE DARK CORNER, THE ENFORCER, DARK CITY, GARDEN OF EVIL.
So it's mainly westerns and noir that I go for.

Oh Wow! One of my best friends and her husband spent vacation time in Scotland ( even their wedding pictures are in kilts ) and absolutely LOVE your country.

Well, Vienna...you're in the exact right oasis.

You certainly are in the right Oasis! My favorites are westerns and dramas (both romantic and noirish). Glad to meet another Robert Ryan admirer...I also lov Garden of Evil.

We have another member here from Scotland, Stuart, who frequently posts.
