The Silver Screen Oasis

Backstage at the Golden Globes: Alfred Hitchcock (winner of the Cecil B. DeMille Award) and Rosalind Russell. February, 1972

Birthday gal Vivien Leigh and director Mervyn LeRoy discuss a scene in "Waterloo Bridge"

I know McRea is best known as a Western movie guy, but as one who just doesn't care for the genre, to me he will always be remembered for movies like Adventure in New York, The Most Dangerous Game, Sullivan's Travels, Palm Beach Story, and most especially The More the Merrier. The latter I suspect I may be alone in having it top a list, but the scenes with Jean Arthur are wonderful, especially when they finally fall in love. Very steamy for the time, and you can't go wrong with Jean Arthur doing comedy.

You aren't alone here and the Oasis.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This is the 2nd time I seen this picture and I got to make a comment about it - I love Waterloo Bridge and that gown that she has on is so lovely to look at. And, not at least the great hair accessory on her beautiful hair too. This is one complete outfit and one of the most loveliest that she worn in her career.

Vivian never looks so good!
