hello finky. After watching Charley Van Tam just now - how about this "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Gene?
|
|
By:
no; he was a heavy drinker - mightn't help much tbh
 |
|
By:
70s film
|
|
By:
It does a ring a bell, but for some reason I pictured Gene in The Producers....but sure I know it...I'll think of some drinkers and see of it connects...

his wife accepted his Oscar
|
|
By:
another?
“Close, Colonel, but no cigar!” |
|
By:
Oh, right. Got it from the original quote now and you saying his wife accepted Oscar...his last film of course, with him having passed...
Peter Finch, Network |
|
By:
correct finky & a fine performance from Finch
|
|
By:
Funny thing, that film came up only a couple of weeks ago, when discussing films to watch during the lockdown with a work colleague...and still, my power of recall is terrible...notorious for it in work!

By:
another film quote above
|
|
By:
Was indeed. A number of years since I've seen it now, so no doubt another reason the quote took a while to connect, esp with my rubbish memory, lol. And by one of my favourite directors too. Bought a book on him some years back, lent it to somebody and not seen it since! Have some DVDs like that too, you lend them out and some people just never return them
 |
|
By:
ummm, 'Colonel' makes me think of Lee Van Cleef in For a Few Dollars More, so I'll take a punt at that!
|
|
By:
i hunt people down who don't return things, finky
clue? |
|
By:
Yes please! :)
|
|
By:
This one not ringing as many bells, so might not know it

she was far less pretty in real life than the actress who portrayed her, who was the mother of cowboy in the 60s & a very expensive bloke in the 70s

the site is cracking up!

By:
Barbara Stanwyck?
|
|
By:
mother of Heath (Big Valley) who went on to become the 6 quid Man
|
|
By:
Don't think it's one I know Baphor. Haven't seen that many Stanwych films, apart from D.I. and one or two others, inc one with Burt, and I can't even remember the name of that! Probably not one I can get...
|
|
By:
Annie Oakley; Directed by the wonderful George Stevens
|
|
By:
Ah, right. Nice one Baphor, not one I've seen. But aware of Stevens of course. My parents were big fans of 'Giant', so that was always a 'sit down and watch' event whenever that was on tv!
|
|
By:
very talented man; & one of the best Producer/Directors ever to sit astride a chair
|
|
By:
"Sorry - wrong number" was the film, finky
|
|
By:
Ah yes, cheers Baphor. That was a very good film, really enjoyed that one, a very effective thriller. Good early role Burt.
|
|
By:
Burt was 32 0or33? when he made his screen debut; i think the film above with his 5th or 6th. Very fortunate to have such great films to start off in
|
|
By:
Wow, that's quite old for a screen debut, I suppose. I guess everyone looked younger in black & white! Also remember seeing him The Killers, so yes definitely started his career in some very good films.
|
|
By:
well that was his 1st film, finky well done
|
|
By:
he was oldish to start because (as you know) he was involved in circus activity for a long time; & then along came WW2
|
|
By:
A good one to start off with! Of his later ones, have always had a liking for The Gypsy Moths. But I like most of Frankenheimer's stuff, and have probably watched The French Connection II more than the first FC. But big fan of both.
|
|
By:
The Manchurian Candidate probably my fav
|
|
By:
although 'The Birdman' with Burt another
|
|
By:
Those two good shouts too. The latter also a big favourite of my father's.
Yes, of course that would explain (his late-ish start in movies). But always looked for his age I guess, as borne out by The Swimmer, when he was starting to get on a wee bit! |
|
By:
Anyway, the great news is, Bayern are winning 5-0, which is making up for my losses in the week!
|
|
By:
he did a fair bit with Frankenheimer during his early (the Directors) career. The Young Savages & 7 Days in May being another couple
|
|
By:
good chatting, finky now i must eat dinner & then do some weightlifting. Speak soon
|
|
By:
Cheers Baphor, thanks for the chat, have a good evening.
