For Classic Movie Fans

[cinderella]

Lovely, first, to answer your ? on your rep post - yep, you guessed it, it's me Carmin, as I was known on the dash site, and the BFD site as well. Thought that name was getting a little rusty, so I reverted to my old alter-ego, Cinderella, lol.

Re your post here...I too love Doris, even tho she was a bit smaltzy and was in all those 'fluff' films with Rock, et al. A sidebar...Doris Day had a very successful career as a singer before entering film. She sang with a big band of the 40's - can't remember which one at the moment. She was in the band very early - I think she was about 19.

However, if you want to see the range of talent our girl Doris has, make a point to see 'Love Me or Leave Me'. Doris is fantastic in this. An added plus is James Cagney, his role in this is a nod to his 'gangster' films of the past. Both he and Doris give a tour-de-force performance. The story is based on the life of 20's big singing star Ruth Etting. I never heard of Ruth Etting until I saw this movie. I am going to google her on YouTube - hopefully they have some clips of her singing.

I liked Sophia Loren and Peter O'Toole in "Man of LaMancha" but I don't know if the movie is considered a classic?

I'm also a huge Doris Day fan! Pillow Talk, The Glass Bottom Boat, and With Six, You Get Eggroll are among my favorite movies that she stars in! I love her voice too!

I enjoyed spending time here tonight! Thanks to everyone here for all the great commentary and special thanks going out to Jet - for sharing all your talent and wealth of knowledge!!!

She was with Les Brown.

I love the movie because of the score— I have the music. With that, a reminder she appeared in "Young Man With a Horn" about the life of a musician, played Kirk Douglas.
The score is terrific and Harry James did the trumpet work for Douglas. It also stars Lauren Bacall and Hoagy Carmichael. (sp)
Great movie, great music.

Jacques, a reminder of the OP's intent for this thread:

"Comment on anything, everything about classic movies from the 30s through the 70s. Share video clips of scenes from your favorite movies...."

'Tipping the Velvet' was a book written in 1998, and made into a mini-series on BBC TV in 2007. So, it doesn't belong in this thread. Perhaps you can start a thread of movies post-1970's.

Please respect the OP's intent. You have every right to post on this thread, but you do not have the right to ignore and disrespect the OP's purpose, which seems to be something you're repeatedly doing.
