Old Hollywood gossip & stories

[Jerry Garcia]

I love Bette Davis and All About Eve is one of my favourites. She's great in The Letter too. If you ever get the chance to see Now Voyager - well, she's just fantastic in it. What a fab film and brilliant performance from Davis and the other cast..

Interesting, I'd never thought of it quite like that before about the bone structure changes - and your comment makes sense if you look at the above photo of the older Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney and Vincent Price!

Sorry for confusing posts - the Bette Davis pic refers to the first part of my post. It's a still from Now Voager, highly recommend.

I love Bette Davis too. I agree with all your film choices but for me, Dead Ringer will never be beaten, the mood, the story, the jazz soundtrack, I love it so much!

It’s so different to the terrible remake - much better.

If I remember it was bit frightening.Back in 70’s films was and some very violent.Think it was the time like Soldier Blue etc.
lots of films explicit.

just copied from my email from Talking pics.

In 1958’s Kings Go Forth on Sunday at 10pm, an all-star cast including Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood star in a drama set during World War II which explores the complexities of love and rivalry as two American soldiers vie for the affections of the same woman in France.

Anyone remember all the wonderful classic movies on BBC 2 Saturday afternoons? My mum was always so happy when my dad went out to watch the football and she had all these to herself

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

I'm going for 6,7 &14.

 

[Mark81]

Mine would be 8, 10,14

I'm going for 6,7 &14.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

I would have been tempted with a 9,8 & 4 if I was doing a musical comedy.

 

[WickedThread]

It entirely depends on the genre, but for any drama: definitely 6, and then perhaps 5 and 12.

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

6, 11, 14 for me.

 

[Mrs Fluff]

I read a rumour once that James Dean didn't die in that crash at 24 but was horribly disfigured and went into hiding. I was fascinated by him at the time.

 

[Miss Begotten]

I think I’d have to go for 5 12 16 and Marlon Brando.
Shallow? Moi?

 

[LaBlonde]

I'm going for 6,7 &14.

6, 8 and 14 for me!

just some kind of romcom where they’re all fighting for the same girl (played by me) and lots of random dance numbers from gene

I love Gene. I think he had far more charisma and pizazz than Astaire.

same! i enjoy them both but gene was always on another level for me. plus he had a kind of raw magnetism that fred just didn’t have. him in the pirate king?!!?!

(also, to lower the tone, one of the best backsides ever put on screen. and usually in a nice high waisted trouser too )

Ahhh Gene Kelly in The Pirate. Such an underrated movie...plus...

 

[TapToBoreMeRigid]

Oh how I adored Gene as a child. I'd watch Singin' in the Rain on VHS every single day. Debbie Reynolds and Cyd too Cyd in that green dress. Wowser.
