THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (1952)
Cecil B. DeMille toured for three years with the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey circus to film the Best Picture of 1952, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. With an all star cast which includes Jimmy Stewart, Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, Charlton Heston in his first major role, Dorothy Lamour and Oscar winner Gloria Grahame, DeMille shows all the joy, heartbreak and majesty that goes on underneath the big top. The film climaxes with a spectacular train wreck that has to be seen to be believed. The stars did their own stunts from Hutton and Wildes trapeze act, to Grahames near brush with death at the hoof of an elephant and Jimmy Stewart makes a vivid impression as a clown who never takes off his make-up for a very particular reason. It all goes into making DeMilles Baby exactly what the title says it is - The Greatest Show On Earth!
 


HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940)
Sparks fly as Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant spar over a lead story and a romantic reunion amidst the background of a big city newsroom. Howard Hawks fills the screen with one of the greatest supporting casts of comedic character actors ever assembled and directs them at breakneck speed. Fast, furious and hilarious from start to finish.

THEM! (1954)
THEM! THEM! the little girl screams and so begins one of the classic sci-fi /horror films of the Cold War period. Atomic energy from A-bomb experiments unleashes giant ants in the deserts of New Mexico and its up to James Arness, James Whitmore, and Oscar winner Edmund Gwenn as a kindly scientist, to warn the world of the oncoming invasion. This was Warner Bros.' highest grossing film of 1954. With its taut direction and superb performances, this film was the ALIEN of its day and resulted in decades worth of monster movies.
 
STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies - Bette Davis



THE LETTER (1940)
Director William Wyler sits on her mannerisms and squeezes out of Bette Davis what may be the ultimate depiction of sexual repression gone haywire. Set in the jungles of Malaysia with a thundering score by Max Steiner and strong support by James Stephenson as her lawyer and sinister Gale Sondergaard as the wife of the man shes murdered, its high melodrama at its steamy best.

"The Letter" was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture, best actress, and best director.
 
STEVE HAYES TOQ on The Bad And The Beautiful



THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (1952)
Director Vincente Minnelli's take on making movies. Three people talk about Kirk Douglas, as a ruthless Hollywood mogul and show why so many people want to work with him and love to hate him at the same time. It's Hollywood on Hollywood and also stars Lana Turner dressed in white and Gloria Grahame in one of the shortest Oscar winning roles as a Southern sex-a-holic.

This movie holds the record for most Academy Awards won by a film not nominated for Best Picture, with five.

Re: STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies, VALENTINE!


A PLACE IN THE SUN (1951)
Monty and Liz, the two hottest stars in Hollywood in the early fifties come together hot and heavy for George Steven's re-make of Theodore Dresier's "An American Tragedy." The ultimate story of the guy from "the wrong side of the tracks" who longs for the rich man's daughter. Montgomery Clift shows why he was the subtlest of all the new breed of Method Actors to descend on Hollywood after the war.
Elizabeth Taylor comes into her own as the the most beautiful girl-next-door any adolescent ever had a wet dream over, while Shelly Winters makes her mark and earns an Oscar nomination as the pathetic pregnant girl Clift abandons. With this role, Winters created a niche for herself as "the girl most men wanted to murder."
Shot by Stevens at his most romantic, it got him an Oscar for direction as well as a second one for Franz Waxman's haunting jazz score, which stays in the back of your mind long after the show is over.

STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies - BLACK NARCISSUS


BLACK NARCISSUS (1947)
A group of Anglican nuns lead by Deborah Kerr set up a convent in a remote part of the Himalayas. What starts out as a warm human interest story, becomes a terrifying tale of madness and suspense as each nun becomes overwhelmed and unbalanced by the beauty and isolation surrounding them.
One of the greatest British films ever made by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger , with a disturbing and unforgettable performance by Kathleen Byron as the Mad Sister Ruth.

STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies - AUNTIE MAME


In Auntie Mame ( 1958 ), Rosalind Russell stars as the most delightfully eccentric aunt any boy was ever turned over to. Written for film by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and for stage by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, both versions were based on the novel by Patrick Dennis.
Reprising her Broadway triumph, Roz paints an unforgettable portrait of a true eccentric, who weaves a spell over everyone she comes in contact with. This includes a bevy of the wildest supporting players ever assembled, among them; Coral Browne as Vera Charles, Broadway legend, best friend, confidante and resident dipsomaniac and Peggy Cass as Agnes Gooch, the unloved secretary who becomes an unwed mother when she follows Mame's philosophy a little too closely.
As Auntie Mame puts it: "You've got to live, live, live! Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!"


Patrick Dennis: Is the English lady sick, Auntie Mame?
Auntie Mame: She's not English, darling... she's from Pittsburgh.
Patrick Dennis: She sounded English.
Auntie Mame: Well, when you're from Pittsburgh, you have to do something.

STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies - PORTRAIT OF JENNIE


PORTRAIT OF JENNIE ( 1948 )
Always on the look out for important star vehicles for his wife Jennifer Jones, producer David O' Selznick took Robert Nathan's novel of ghostly love, "Portrait Of Jennie," and turned it into a lavish spectacle. Directed by veteran William Dieterle, "Portrait Of Jennie" (1948 ) was the fourth and last teaming of Selznick favorites Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton. The movie is the love story of a little girl named Jennie and a painter named Eben, who meet in Central Park. Charmed by her, Eben decides to paint her portrait, but with each subsequent sitting, Jennie seems to be a bit older. As he attempts to capture Jennie on canvas, she advises him to hurry and informs him that she's trying to grow up as fast as she can so they can be lovers.
Fantasy has always been as fascinating to approach as it is difficult to film and "Jennie" was no exception. Filled with an all-star cast of supporting players including Ethel Barrymore, Lillian Gish, David Wayne and Cecil Kellaway, "Portrait Of Jennie" weaves an ethereal and enigmatic spell over the viewer who becomes as obsessed with the mystery of "Jennie" as Eben is in love with her. Filmed on location in Manhattan and with a haunting musical score by classic composer Claude Debussy, "Portrait Of Jennie" is unforgettable film fantasy the likes of which the screen has seldom tried, nor succeeded at since.

Wow. Talk about looking in a mirror. I'll be this guy in 30 years.
 
STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies - THE LADY EVE



THE LADY EVE (1941)

It's hi-jinks on the high seas as Barbara Stanwyck and Charles Coburn play a pair of father and daughter card sharks out to swindle millionaire Henry Fonda out of his millions in Preston Sturges' classic romantic comedy 'The Lady Eve." Filled with a stellar collection of character actors including Sturges regulars: William Demarest, Eric Blore and Eugene Pallette, with brilliant dialogue, fast pacing and masterful direction, "The Lady Eve" is one of the classic comedies of the Golden Age. Stanwyck proves she was a master at subtle comedy and Fonda the king of the prat falls as she pulls switcheroo after switcheroo in order to land her man. It's Sturges, Stanwyck and Fonda at their very best and one of the comedies that every director has borrowed something from at sometime or other...if they're smart.
