You and Tyr...Beautiful drawing, very good writing.<br /><br />You and Tyrone Power, though - what to do? Try remembering this - though I believe he was miscast in Witness for the Prosecution, without him there wouldn't have been a film. When he turned down the producer the first time, the project was dropped. It was only after they went after him a second time and he accepted that the project went forward, because the producer wanted him for two movies. And I think he was excellent - he overdid that courtroom scene just like Leonard Vole, who wasn't an actor, would have. Billy Wilder knew what he was doing.<br /><br />Also that's not the only movie Tyrone ever made. He was excellent in many, many films. And Kate, you've been resisting for so long...methinks the lady is starting to doth protest too much.Mrs. Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807583127134067079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-41558601762104728332011-01-21T06:38:47.298-05:002011-01-21T06:38:47.298-05:00I swear I did this before reading your posts, ladi...I swear I did this before reading your posts, ladies (by the way - great blogs all around - you're all on my list!):<br />www.flickchick1953.blogspot.com<br /><br />Films that would have been better for Cary's appearance: Gone With The Wind, Love in the Afternoon, Witness for the Prosecution, Sabrina and Mildred Pierce.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-54587768353854291732011-01-21T01:07:19.692-05:002011-01-21T01:07:19.692-05:00Same here, I love Humphrey Bogart but Cary Grant w...Same here, I love Humphrey Bogart but Cary Grant would have been 100% perfect in Sabrina! I think he was also the first choice for Love in the Afternoon, too, but I'm not entirely sure about that one. I love Gary Cooper, but Cary Grant probably would have been better there, too! :)kate gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613714423917702757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-55257305135762100872011-01-21T00:53:45.182-05:002011-01-21T00:53:45.182-05:00Oh, I can totally see William Holden doing a great...Oh, I can totally see William Holden doing a great job with that role. I never knew that he was the first choice. I also never knew about Humphrey Bogart replacing Cary Grant. Wow, I completely agree that Grant would've been a lot better. Nothing against Bogart, but I just don't think he was right for the role.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729516870952658426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-38354224167737319832011-01-21T00:05:36.281-05:002011-01-21T00:05:36.281-05:00Sarah- It IS a match made in heaven!!

Bradford is like the 50's-60's male tv star equivalent of THE MILLIE!<br /><br />Millie - LOL I'm so glad you like it! <br /><br />And wow, the Randolph Scott movie playing torture device is WAYYYY worse than the Rack, The Iron Maiden AND the Stocks COMBINED!! :-O THE HORROR!! <br /><br />Audrey - Thank you so much! For Witness for the Prosecution, I always envision William Holden in the role. He was apparently Billy Wilder's first choice, and ever since I read that I just can't picture anyone else in that part! That, and Humphrey Bogart instead of Cary Grant in Sabrina are my two big casting peeves! :)kate gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613714423917702757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-24309460526305470982011-01-20T23:19:44.398-05:002011-01-20T23:19:44.398-05:00Oh my gosh, Kate, your drawing is incredible! You ...Oh my gosh, Kate, your drawing is incredible! You are a really good writer, too. I thought this post was hilarious. <br /><br />Until Millie starting posting a lot about him, I'd never heard of Bradford Dillman either. I just might have to watch something to find out what this is all about!<br /><br />As for Tyrone Power, I'll admit first-off that I'm pretty neutral about him, as I haven't seen a lot of his movies other than Witness for the Prosecution. Which I loved! I do agree that Power wasn't the the strongest link in the cast, however. I'm curious, who do you think would've been better. Because I had a hard time thinking of someone else. Plus, **SPOILER** his character wasn't really supposed to be likable, ultimately.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729516870952658426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-88378866979921750772011-01-20T22:25:21.719-05:002011-01-20T22:25:21.719-05:00:'''')

OH MY GOSH. <br /><br />AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!<br /><br />THAT ART IS SOOOO AMAZING!<br /><br />AND THIS POST.<br /><br />I love you, KATE! Seriously.<br /><br />And my torture chamber is actually quite like you described it (although the stocks are my favorite form of torture). I also enjoy making people who don't like Tyrone Power watch Randolph Scott movies. ALL DAY LONG.<br /><br />But, seriously. THIS POST HAS SO MUCH AMAZINGNESS IN IT! <br /><br />And you so know that if everyone is not a Bradford Dillman fan at the end of this weekend...there is some seriousness going down. ;-D<br /><br />Amazing post! Thank you so much, Kate! :')))Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562702535170134885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-27272058186936112162011-01-20T21:53:00.318-05:002011-01-20T21:53:00.318-05:00BRILLIANT.
