Through the static is the sound of you saying meet me at sundown

Character actors, the problem of: a dialogue from life.

TCM's 31 Days of Oscar: Hey, did you know we're showing a movie with Wendell Corey in it?

Me: What, that isn't Rear Window (1954)?

TCM's 31 Days of Oscar: No, Rich, Young and Pretty (1951).

Me: That looks heteronormative as balls and Wendell Corey should sue that mustache.

TCM's 31 Days of Oscar: Hans Conried's in it somewhere.

Me: !@#*$&(#!

(I couldn't finish the last quarter of Tennessee Johnson (1942) even for Van Heflin. I don't know about standards, but I have got limits.)

I bet they called it Rich, Young and Pretty because they knew they couldn't get Free, White, and Twenty-One on marquees.

That is not a good mustache. But Hans Conried!

*hugs* the unwise lure of 'it has a fave in' *nods*

I'm looking at this worriedly and now wondering, do I have standards for 'contains a fave' any more? XD

and Wendell Corey should sue that mustache.

Never an option, alas. :-{( <--- moustachioed smiley

Although, I suppose it does depend because these days I do need at least three people to recommend a pre-Public Eye film with Alfred Burke in even so!!
