Actor Bruce Kirby (1925-2021)
filmnoirguy replied to MikaelaArsenault's topic in General Discussions
My grandson just turned 12 so we watched Stand By Me together the other night. As Mika pointed out above, Kirby plays the grocer who tells Gordie that he resembles his dead brother. The movie ends with Gordie as an adult (Richard Dreyfuss) saying: 'I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?'Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz Biopic to come from Aaron Sorkin

I have a friend who was in charge of VIPs at a major airline in NYC back in the day. I asked him if there were any celebs who were especially rude or caused trouble. He said: 'Only one. Lucille Ball. I had to deal with her many times. She was either drunk and making demands by throwing the F word around. Or she was sober and making demands by throwing the F word around.'Stupid lines from movies.

filmnoirguy replied to Det Jim McLeod's topic in General Discussions
My second favorite movie of 1948 is Hamlet. (My favorite, I Remember Mama, received 4 nods but not for Best Pic.) I've seen all of the screen versions of Hamlet and, unlike Hamlet who just couldn't make up his mind, I can: this version is the best. Oscars went to Best Picture, Actor Laurence Olivier, Art-Set Decoration and Costumes. Olivier lost the Director Oscar to John Huston for Treasure of Sierra Madre, who richly deserved to be recognized. As did Walter Huston for Supporting Actor. It is puzzling why Bogart, who gave one of his greatest performances, was not nominated. 1948 was a🎈🎈~ HAPPY BIRTHHDAYYY,!,!!! ~ 🎈🎈🎈

A Millennial Take on Christmas in Connecticut
filmnoirguy replied to sewhite2000's topic in General Discussions
I love this movie on so many different levels that I bought the DVD. One prime reason is that I'm a big Stanwyck fan, especially her comedies. I have read somewhere in the past that the role was originally offered to Bette Davis who turned it down. (Thank you, Bette!) This past year I read a piece by a critic (can't remember name) who said it was her/his favorite Sydney Greenstreet performance. Everyone is spot on in this delightful Christmas comedy. Thanks for the above review from AV Club!Singer-actress Phyllis McGuire (1931-2020)

filmnoirguy replied to yanceycravat's topic in General Discussions
Even though it was her first film, maybe her billing could have been highlighted in larger type as in: And Introducing Doris Day. I understand that Janis Paige auditioned for the Georgia Garrett role but was cast in the supporting part of Elvira Kent. As we all know, Betty Hutton was originally cast until she discovered she was happily going to have a baby.The Doris Day Appreciation Thread
filmnoirguy replied to yanceycravat's topic in General Discussions
And even though Doris Day was clearly the star of 'Romance on the High Seas,' she was billed fourth behind Jack Carson, Janis Paige and Don DeFore. That's Hollywood for you!Rosalind Knight (1933-2020)
