I like Olivia de Havilland. I like her sister, Joan Fontain, too, although they were competitive enemies. Three great films come to mind besides Gone With the Wind and Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte:
The Heiress (won Best Actress) with Montgomery Clift, Lady in a Cage, and The Snake Pit, nominated for Best Actress in 1949. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0dixQKQvTo"]YouTube- The Snake Pit 7/12[/ame] |

I do not like this movie at all: Some Like It Hot. It's odd because i'm a huge Billy Wilder fan. I think it's because I can't stand marilyn monroe.

Picnic 1955
This dance sequence between William Holden and Kim Novak from Picnic is considered one of the sexiest on film. It was choreographed by Jerome Robbins and it's one of my favorites. Incredibly sexy. William Holden was actually pretty drunk when this was sequence was shot so Kim Novak had do the leading. You'll see Holden first, then Novak comes into frame and the dance begins shortly after.

[QUOTE=Lady Jewel;32197]One of my faves is Imitation of Life with Lana Turner. It is the consummate tear-jerker.
Along those lines of the big Technicolor melodramas and tear jerkers of the 50s: Magnificent Obsession, This Earth is Mine, Summer Place, Peyton Place, Written on The Wind, and Madam X (with Lana Turner) which is a remake from an original from the 30s (I think) |

Another actor I like from the old guard is Robert Taylor. Handsome devil and married to Barbara Stanwyck. Out of all of his movies, I think Westward the Women has to be one of his best.

Hollywood Babylon
I read this book back in the 70s when it first came out. It's still available at Amazon and it's a great book for anyone into Hollywood trivia and famous scandals. This is about everything from Charlie Chaplin's sex trial to the murder trial of Lana Turner's daughter (who is gay by the way)

Remembering Kathryn Grayson February 9, 1922 – February 17, 2010 [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4ZxpyWYFSE"]YouTube- Movie Legends - Kathryn Grayson[/ame] Legendary musical star Kathryn Grayson died at age 88.
The singer and movie legend Kathryn Grayson died at her home in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Grayson is best known for her many roles in MGM musicals during the 1940’s and 1950’s. Grayson was a classically trained soprano and boy did she have a voice. According to BBC news Kathryn had actually planned on having a career as an opera singer when she was persuaded by MGM to sign a contract with them at the young age of 15. Throughout her years at MGM Grayson was lucky enough to work with Hollywood Icons Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra and if you have seen her in a movie with either of these men you know she certainly held her own. After her last film in 1956, Kathryn made the switch from movies to the Broadway stage, she even took over for Julie Andrews in the production of Camelot in 1962. She also went on tour with her former costar Howard Keel in Man of La Mancha. Later she appeared on TV shows such as Murder, She Wrote and Baretta. Grayson really was an extraordinarily talented woman. Kathryn was married and divorced twice. She has one daughter, two grandchildren and four great-grand children. There was and never will be anyone quite like the legendary musical star Kathryn Grayson. She was the true epitome of old school Hollywood. |

I like Paint Your Wagon too, Odarlin. My favorite from the score is "There's a Coach Comin' In.

The Slender Thread, 1965
One of the most interesting movies I've ever seen is The Slender Thread, 1965.
It features incredible acting from Anne Bancroft, Sidney Portier and Telly Savalas. This is about a young psych student (Portier) who works at a suicide prevention center and tries to save the life of a woman on the phone (Anne Bancroft). Most of the movie takes place on the phone with flashbacks and developments until Portier pinpoints her location to save her. Telly Savalas is terrific as a psychiatrist and Portier's boss. The best scene is with Savalas listening in on the phone, but I couldn't find it. Here's another clip. Enjoy.
