Mr. Robeson was 60 years old when he performed this beautiful song live at New York's Carnegie Hall. Words fail me, but his talent never failed him. For those who know of him, be grateful he was here. For those unfamiliar with his amazing life and works, it's never too late to learn.
Talk about a "Mad Flirt!" Stunning Glynis Johns takes on a double-role; she's herself, and her distant cousin, a "Siren" of the Seas! Watch her "work" the men! Margaret Rutherford only adds to an amazing cast.
Actress of a "certain age," desires a "comeback," and chooses a role that requires an unusual "prop." Her decision leads to tragedy, calamity and death! Aside from the "ghoulish delights," watch Ms. Barry's ardent version of "The Twist!" Very "60's" and campy!
A slideshow of Jane's Academy Award winning role in "Johnny Belinda." She starred with Lew Ayres, Charles Bickford, Agnes Moorehead, Jan Sterling and Stephen McNally. Magnificent score written by Max Steiner. She was nominated 4 times for best actress, she won this time and well-deserved. Rest in Peace, Lovely Lady.
Just some clips from "Black Narcissus" honoring one of the loveliest actresses ever. This film is 60 years old! The emotions that wash over her face with every thought of the past are really incredible. She was one of a kind. RIP
Just a glimpse or two of Paris, and "Les habitants fictifs d'un certain secteur." Beauteous Shirley MacLaine and handsome Jack Lemmon share the bill, but, in the end, Irma's pooch gives the last baleful glance at the sordid "goings-on!" What a pup! What a flick! Delicious!
Mr. Robeson's 2nd British film! He's shown here with Ms. Elisabeth Welch, his charming costar. At the end, London at night is the backdrop for this lovely movie. Rarely shown,
so please enjoy this unusual film from the 30's.
Mrs. Carlson, who despises her husband, has a "yen" for truck-driver Joe Fabrini. He has other ideas. Ida is brilliant throughout, and the courtroom scene is just icing on the cake.
Just a glimpse of one of her many magnificent skating performances! In her heyday she was the "Queen of the Ice!" Please watch the lovely Sonja Henie, as she skates to perfection in this combination Brazilian-American melody. Just for now, please forget about "triple lutz, salchow, etc." Just think: "It's 1945, and here I am watching this graceful nymph!"
