Even if you're not a fan of musicals, go watch 'My Fair Lady' with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. It's fantastic.
Hmmm, I wasn't particularly fond of it. Perhaps that's because I can't stand movie musicals. I do, however, love the stage variety and will happily go and see them. There's just something about watching musicals on a screen that destroys all my interest in them.
I tend to agree. While I do very much like musicals, I normally don't care much for film adaptions of them. There's just something wrong when you're watching a movie and all of the sudden, the actors start to sing!
I'm afraid I've never seen My Fair Lady, though. It's the film adaptions of Phantom of the Opera and Chicago which I rather disliked -- though Phantom particularly is one of my favorite musicals!
I mostly agree with you there. However, some old school, written for screen musicals are great. Singing in the Rain in particular is one of the best movies of all time.
Can't believe I didn't see this thread before the necromanccery!
On my bookshelf there is an old book called 'A pictorial History of the talkies' I never paid it any interest until we moved house to the new place and then I discovered it wasn't about Talkie (in southern england) at all! but of the movies and stars from the begining of the talking motion picture!
My favorite must surey be Errol Flynn. I recently brought five of his films in a boxed set and their still great! He's a film hero of mine!
I recently posted a picture of Robert Mitchum in the "Trench Coat" thread. I don't know from which film it is though. Maybe you might be able to identify it?
Lovely picture BTW! Especially the one of Rita Hayworth is quite gorgeous. Though that photo of Clark Gable makes him look rather evil...

Not exactly to talk about another Golden Era Hollywood movie star, but show you rather that you two can be photographed as one!
A Mr Roger James has people photographed in classic Hollywood style! And quite stylish they look indeed!
