I really like Vince Vaughn even though I'm not of his generation; there's a Jack-Benny-quality about him with that po-faced look which really appeals.
Bill Murray is a bit like this also; another incredible actor.

I loved Van Heflin and especially his role in "Green Dolphin Street". There was something 'everyman' about this actor and another fine film of his was "Tap Roots". My favorite Van Heflin performance was probably in 3:10 To Yuma (1957) , he was great at playing hard working avera...

Dargo, it's great to hear your personal story!! So, it was a Ford Mercury and not a Gifford (of course not!!) featured in the film!! I've just finished watching the film and it was absolutely priceless. I thought the standout was Fred McMurray, who's always great value. June Allyson just got on my n...

"Five Fingers", 1952, starring James Mason and directed by Joseph Mankiewicz. An excellent nail-biter based loosely on a true story from WW2, involving espionage. HIghly recommended. Mason is superb. GREAT script.

Propositioning someone is not as the same thing as performing oral sex on someone while they are asleep. That's what one of the men accused Kevin Spacey of. I actually watched the video that was posted here. It's interesting that the guy in the video (Tim Pool) says that he doesn't trust Kevin Spac...

If we are talking about workplace sexual harassment, it would be difficult to provide examples since the media doesn't cover such events. So, I agree they are unheard of but that does not mean they don't take place. E.g. my wife is the general manager of a janitorial services company: she gets at l...

My five favorite Kevin Spacey performances- 1. The harried office manager to a bunch of salesmen in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) 2. Then nasty movie producer who verbally abuses his assistant in Swimming With Sharks (1994) 3. The deceptive Verbal Kint in The Usual Suspects (1995) 4. One of the scarie...

I loved Joan in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"!!

Swithin, anything with Rod Taylor in it has always been an embarrassment. For me. He just couldn't act. So, I didn't see the film you mention. Naturally I've seen "The Birds" but in that film only Tippi Hedren was a worse actor than Taylor; a mighty contest, for sure, but she won it!! I'l...

Belle -- slightly off topic but relating somewhat to sexual harassment in Australia: Have you seen the bizarre Australian film Welcome to Woop Woop? ? The young American character, who is held captive in Woop Woop, is sexually (and otherwise) harassed by Rod Taylor's daughter. So, I just looked up ...

It happens every day. Those people are not only poor, but not famous. Could you give me an example please? It's unheard of in Australia. It's usually the rich and famous or somebody in the workplace (where the workplace foots the bill for any 'sexually inappropriate' behaviour, 'unwanted advances',...

... I just wonder why nobody ever accuses poor people of 'sexual misconduct'. It happens every day. Those people are not only poor, but not famous. Could you give me an example please?
