Favorite Golden Era Couples

[bulldog1935]

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward

they were hot in A New Kind of Love, which I also believe is when they met.
Best thing is to see it last like an old kind of love

Oh Elizabeth Oh Richard!........................you were so beautiful!............ Bless!

Franco Zeffirelli teaming up with these two put the best Shakespeare ever on film - Taming of the Shrew

Well it helps when you have a real shrew to work with.

I'll put in my vote for Nick and Nora Charles.

I'll put in my vote for Nick and Nora Charles.

I was thinking the same, but I'm sure they're mentioned quite a few times already.

 

[fashion frank]

Without a second thought Bonnie and Clyde, although Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers also comes to mind !

All the Best , Fashion Frank

Yes, indeed, but if I like 'em, I'm gonna mention 'em!

My choice:

 

[Blackthorn]

 

[_Nightwing]

+1 for Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor. I love this kiss. If she were my girlfriend I'd kiss her neck a lot so she could whisper into my ear with that ridiculous sexy voice of hers.

Boy the stories that sprung from that relationship. Even John Wayne had a few of them.

Best Golden Era movie couple?

I'm wondering who my fellow loungers think were the best movie couple from the golden era?

Personally, I think Myrna Loy and William Powell are hard to beat, but then there's also Fred and Ginger, etc……

 

[Two Types]

Phyllis Calvert & Stewart Granger. I like the interplay between them: she is the innocent girl with a longing to break out from the confines of society, he the lovable rogue that offers her the escape.

They played together a number of times: The Man in Grey, Fanny by Gaslight, The Magic Bow & Madonna of the Seven Moons

 

[Mahagonny Bill]

Bogey and Bacall

Unstoppable in "To Have and Have Not"

 

[Stanley Doble]

My vote goes to Myrna Loy and William Powell. There was the Thin Man series plus comedies and dramas. They were magic in everything they did.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Edgar Kennedy and Florence Lake, with extra points for Dot Farley and Jack Rice as the meddling in-laws.

 

[Nobert]

I'll have to go with a one-movie coupling, William Powell and Carole Lombard in My Man Godfrey. Probably just because I've seen it so many times.

I just don't get the whole Lauren Bacall thing. Last time I saw her and Bogart was in Key Largo, where she seemed to spend more screen time impersonating a mannequin than Kim Catrel, but without the stand-in.

Of course, I was also rooting for Jimmy Stewart in The Philadelphia Story, which shows what I know.

Bogey and Bacall

Unstoppable in "To Have and Have Not"

My vote as well

:lol: You know, that's dead on. Her career was built on a slightly-sideways, partially open-mouthed expression. Certainly not her acting skills.

 

[Fibber Mcgee]

On screen - Nick and Nora ( William Powell and Myrna Loy should have been married for real). As far as actual married couples- George and Gracie.
