Perhaps finding the happy medium is harder than we know.
As far as gossip is concerned, I have heard stories about the four of them. Still can't believe I missed Davis and Crawford. Anyway, I understand what your saying but I do think at times people are better between point A and point B. Pending of course what the subject is. I think I've seen most of the well known Taylor films, I may have missed a few, but as I go through them, COAHTR is the one where her beauty is most apparent imo.

My point. Cleopatra and Virginia Woolf shows her as a really "big" star

One of the great sci-fi movies of all time. I was surprised to learn that Frances Bavier didn't like Andy and Barney all that much. She was a NY stage actress and thought the show wasn't serious enough. I suppose TDTESS was her speed.

Your talking about those other people, "And you know where I mean".

I haven't seen that in probably 30 years, even though i see it listed fairly often.
Those were the days.

I watched "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935) a few days ago. Man, that's another I tend to watch every time. Charles Laughton is just epic in that role. One of the great movie performances of all time.

Glad your back my friend. I tried to keep the rabill here in line but it's like herding chickens. I caught Hal over at that other thread. He was reeking. Drunk with, Hitchcock in color, on his breath

I've always liked Jason Robards especially when he's telling stories. Did a lot of westerns but I really liked him in, Something Wicked This Way Comes. A Big Hand was always a fun movie.

Yeah, I really enjoy that one. Not sure why I don't go out of my way to see it more often. I will next time it's on.

Did you get a chance to see, Bad Day At Black Rock, over the weekend? Turned my mom on to it and she's loved it ever since

Nope, I missed that. Didn't even know it was on. I don't think I've ever seen it.Did you get a chance to see, Bad Day At Black Rock, over the weekend? Turned my mom on to it and she's loved it ever since

Star packed. Lee Marvin, Spencer Tracy, Walter Brennen, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Dean Jagger and a very lovely Ann Frances. Tracy is looking for the father of the man who saved his life. I highly recommend it. Going to keep after you until you see it.

The awards are handed out this weekend. I'll bet the shows in the 40's and 50's were breath taking.

What's wrong with Hitchcock in color???
I think Something Wicked This Way Comes is underrated. Jonathan Pryce was excellent (as always) in it, too.
My favorite Robards role is either as Ben Bradlee (All the President's Men) or Howard Hughes (Melvin and Howard). But, I confess I still haven't seen Long Day's Journey Into Night.
Good movie. However, I feel it necessary to point out that it's in color.Did you get a chance to see, Bad Day At Black Rock, over the weekend? Turned my mom on to it and she's loved it ever since

Not if you watch it on a B/W set
Anyone planning on watching the Oscars?
Every year I care less and less about them... and award shows in general. First, because they seem to have become more about glorifying celebrity than anything else. Second, because I find actors thanking their agents, managers, assistants, etc. absolutely tedious.
I'll watch this year's just to see what everyone has to say in regard to the "me too" movement but this may be my last.
Also, anyone watch CBS Sunday Morning this morning? They had a segment on the Newman family of film composers:
There was also a segment on the development of the Steadicam:

I haven't watched the Oscars in years. I never see new movies and know nothing about them. The last movie I saw in the theater was "Lincoln."
"Shanghai Express" (1932) with Marlene Dietrich is on at 9:30. I might watch that. Either way, I'll be watching "The Honeymooners" at 11:00.

We always watch but award shows are like sports for my wife and the Oscars are the Super Bowl for her. She'll be locked in when the red carpet starts, vodka/seven in hand, ready to yell "what the fuck is she wearing!"

I saw Ruggles of Red Gap this morning on TCM. Laughton is magnificent as the uptight British man servant who is lost in a poker game to a western hick and his nouveau-riche, overbearing wife. I wonder if Andy Kaufman got his foreign-man look from Laughton in this movie. Laughton often stands still with his arms by his side, his eyes wide and moving side to side without moving his head.

Looking forward to my day in court.
We see very few new movies in theaters too. Is The Blade Runner sequel up for anything? Aside from that and a couple of kids films for my kid, that’s all I’ve seen. I rarely watch awards shows anymore either. Boring!
I've never seen that one. Laughton is pretty tough to beat.
Any Barrymore fans here?

The Blade Runner sequel won awards for Best Visual Effects and Cinematography.

I suspect he's most noted for, A Christmas Carol and rightfully so. No one did it better. There is a family history.
