I also didn't like her wardrobe. I am assuming within the context of the time and place it was "the mode," will have to research. Shocked by the bare midriff at dinner!

Well... kind of like Dorothy Lamour's sarong in her movies. That tropical garb was really big in the 30s and 40s. Speaking of Dorothy Lamour, see John Ford's The Hurricane if you can. Amazing effects for 1937 and a great movie. Takes place in Taihiti.

Enjoyed twice this week ... God bless my beautiful daughter turning me onto the older films that I would have never even thought to watch ... What a joy this one is. :)

Cavett and Hitch....
I saw this in the 70s and it was one of the best interviews ever.
Not only was Hitchcock a genius on so many levels and he had a wicked sense of humor.

In this segment Hitch talks about his brilliant special effects in Foreign Correspondant (4:00 in) and Psycho and a great story around 6:00 in.



This excerpt includes a story behind Lifeboat and Hitch appearing in his movies (5:00 in).



There's limited footage of the interview so enjoy.

Dorothy Malone
 
One of my favorites is Dorothy Malone.
Known for dramas and big technicolor melodramas like Lana Turner in the 1950s.

Well...this is Dorothy early on in The Big Sleep with Bogart and Bacall.

Dorothy Malone at the height of her career after winning an Oscar
for Best Supporting Actress in Written on The Wind
in 1956 with Rock Hudson, Robert Stack and Lauren Bacall.

I've been watching Dorothy Malone films all night on TCM and thought I'd pay a little tribute.

Here's one not many people I know have ever watched.
 
Saratoga Trunk.

Not a great movie but I love to watch it whenever I can. I guess it's because it stars two of my favorite actors Beautiful Ingrid Bergman and Goregous Gary Cooper, I just love the interactions between them in this movie I think its the only one they made together, too bad...

hope this link works..

I've seen it, I think it's based Edna Ferber's novel. Could be mistaken. I'm not a big Gary Cooper fan, always found him stiff even in the Capra stuff.

I'm bumping this thread after creating it more than three years ago. Please see OP. And feel free to post on American film and British film classics which dominated Hollywood's studio era and post-studio, 30s through 70s. Mainstream films.

My latest view is Madame Bovary (1949 version) which belongs in this thread.

Jet 01-22-2014 03:32 PM

Scarlet Street, 1945 on tap for tonight with Edward G. Robinson. I'd have to say All My Sons, written by Arthur Miller, is a favorite in my top 10 of all time from Robinson and Burt Lancaster. Watched El Cid, 1961, which Martin Scorsese calls "one of the great epics of all time." Big epic, big color, photography and story and big stars of its time with Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren. Haven't seen it in years and it does a while to get through it.

Myrna Loy
 
I have a long-standing crush on Myrna Loy. Adorable in the "Thin Man" series.
