Here's the movie that John Dillinger walked out of to be shot down in Chicago in 1934. Love the story and the movie, Manhattan Melodrama.

I love this ol' movie too, Ol' Jet. Here's one I think you'll appreciate. It has the sounds you love - 40's music, and a voice you may like - Lynn Bari. Enjoy.

I never appreciated John Wayne until much later as I got older.
Now, I enjoy him as an icon and for the style of actor he was.
I never really thought he was a good actor, he just wore on us
with good westerns, as they were in that genre.
My two favorite movies are The Cowboys and The Shootist.

Here's a video tribute to John Wayne.
See ya at the movies.

Add The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence and Three Godfathers to my John Wayne favorites.

QueSeraSera · 03-24-2010, 09:49 AM

To add my 2 cents on the subject.... I ofcourse I loved the Movie The Man Who Knew To Much.... And Whatever Happen To Baby Jane....And I am a big fan of most any Marilyn Monroe Movies as well...... I see that most of these have been talked about. I just wanted to put my lil $.02...

Til another time

Is anyone planning on seeing the movie "The Rite"? It is about a Roman Catholic Priest from America who travels to Rome to learn how to perform exorcisms. It is going to star Sir Anthony Hopkins and is going to be directed by Mikael Hafstrom. The movie is based on the book "The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist" by Matt Baglio.

this classic films discussions only, the new movie thread perhaps?

I could listen to this all night long. better yet, lay somebody to this all night long. lol

cinderella · 03-31-2010, 09:08 PM

"lay somebody"? Sounds a tad risque, yes?

Oh, and p.s. let me know when 'Brief Encounter' is coming on - that's my favorite all time film!!

Jet · 03-31-2010, 09:18 PM

yep.....hey, I saw your Joan Fontaine chick flick the other night. And then I put in The Uninvited with Ray Milland. Speaking of Jourdan I watch Julie with him and Doris Day the other night where he's trying to kill her.

Reminds me....
I wrote a documentary for radio all in rhyme if you can imagine. Titled "The Cardigan Years" and written in segments; I wanted Charles Kuralt ay CBS to narrate it as an enterprise piece. I never finished it...but I remember devoting a segment to the time when radio was being replaced by TV....

"I Love Mystery....and I miss Major Bows."

And I do love mysteries.....

see ya at the movies my learned comrades.

cinderella · 03-31-2010, 09:28 PM

Guess I'm not so 'learned', 'cause I can't remember a Louis Jordan movie w/Doris where he is trying to kill her. I do, however, remember a Doris movie w/Rex Harrison, where he is trying to kill our girl...now what was the name of that - escapes me at the moment - 'Midnight Lace'? Not sure on that one. Please enlighten me on the Day & Jordan flick.

I do remember The Uninvited. Ray Milland and Gail Russel - it was her debut film, I think. She was astonishingly beautiful.

I would have loved to have read your radio script...I am familiar with your writing, and I like it very much.

It's called Julie and it came out in 1956. Doris Day, Barry Sullivan and Louie Jourdan. She's a stewardess and Jourdan is her lunatic husband. Sullivan is a good friend. Jourdan plots to kill her and he catches up with her on a flight. He storms the cockpit, injures the pilot; he ends up dead in the shooting and she's left to land the plane.
Ring a bell now?

cinderella · 03-31-2010, 10:19 PM

Yep, and it was just on the other night - I caught it at the tail end...and she did a good job of landing that plane - a real tense hold-on-to-your-seat moment, for sure!! I think I've seen it, but can't remember it...'Old Timer's Disease' is setting in for sure!!

When TV is shit, I just put in any old movie that i have.
A few I watch a lot of....All My Sons is a favorite; written by Arthur Miller.

heavy drama...Edward G. Robinson, Burt Lancaster...if you've never seen it, do. Excellent!

cinderella · 03-31-2010, 10:30 PM

Yes I have seen it many times, and I do like it, tho it's not one of my faves. I'd much rather watch The Best Years of Our Lives...

I'm more of a noir fan, tho I will not pass up a romance film. Today Kitty Foyle was on, and tho I own it on tape, I watched it anyway. I love Ginger Rogers sans Astair, or with - she is a favorite, and I've enjoyed having her as 'Star of the Month', along with Akra Kurasawa, one of my fave directors.

I too do the same as you when TV is sh__T...my faves are: Sunset Blvd, Rebecca, The Heiress, 12 Angry Men, and so many others I can't think of at the moment. But I have so many films in my collection, I can't remember what I have. So, when I go 'browsing', it's always a delightful suprise to see what I do have, and play it. I am missing my favorite film - Brief Encounter, and must purchase it soon.

She's a cutie, not to mention getting best actress for that.

cinderella · 03-31-2010, 10:42 PM

Yes, Ginger is a sweetheart.
Along the Noir side, I love Barbara Stanwyck the best. Did you see The Strange Love of Martha Ivers? I love that film. Among other Stanwyck films, I think my favorite is 'Sorry Wrong Number' - I just love that movie!! Then there was another one called No Man of Her Own, I think, not sure. Great film, and not shown as often as it should be. I just love Stanwyck, I wish they would do a retrospective or Star of the Month on her. She, I think, is under-appreciated by today's audiences who are into classic film.
