If you could cast YOURSELF in one goldenera movie...

[jamespowers]

Stumpy in Rio Bravo.

 

[Jack Scorpion]

It is a small role, but the Acme Bookstore proprietress in The Big Sleep. I love it when she takes off her glasses and lets her hair down to have a drink with Marlowe.

I go crazy for that girl.

 

[Sly Style]

Mine would be simple. I'd have to be Jimmy Stuart in Anatomy of a Murder. I think I would fit that role to a T.

I remain sincerely,
Benny K.

 

[katiemakeup]

I would definitely cast myself in any Three Stooges short! I am sure I would inevitably receive a pie in the kisser...

 

[John in Covina]

W. C. Fields the Master!

Easy choice.

*************
International House!

I'd like to be George Burns or Franklin Pangborn in IH!

Where am I!

Woo Hoo!

Don't let the posey fool you!

******
Stoopnocracy!

And now the 6 Day bicycle race!

 

[Hannigan Reilly]

That would be me, with Dorothy Lamour ALL wrapped up.

 

[Girl Friday]

Harvey

The invisible rabbit lol

 

[Fletch]

Leads

James T. Austin in The Captive City (written by a close family friend from his own investigate reporting.)
Capt. Queeg in The Caine Mutiny.
Stroud in The Big Clock.
Frank Bigelow in DOA.

Second bananas

Thompson in Citizen Kane.
The mob chief in Joseph Losey's suppressed redo of M.
The Oscar Levant role in basically anything.
The bass saxophone player in Flying Down to Rio.

 

[Spitfire]

I would play any of Marcello Mastroianni's parts in either. "A very special day", "Yesterday, today and tomorrow" or "An italian marriage".

Why? That's why!

 

[olive bleu]

Bette Davis in "Of Human Bondage" I would love to look this bad and pull off having the hissy-fit from hell

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Why not?

The invisible rabbit lol

He got to hang out with James Stewart AND always had a drink bought for him.

 

[jamespowers]

He got to hang out with James Stewart AND always had a drink bought for him.

Free drinks?! I am there.

 

[Fletch]

As to the hangin' with Jimmy part –*I think Elwood P. Dowd was about the least Stewartesque character Stewart ever played.

 

[Girl Friday]

Free drinks?! I am there.

Exactly!

:cheers1:

 

[Steve]

I'd love to play Ugarte in Casablanca, mainly because I enjoy mimicing Lorre's voice. Of course, the smart thing to do would be to play Laszlo.

 

[Senator Jack]

I've been thinking about this one for a while.

Sebastian (Burgess Meredith) in 'That Uncertain Feeling'. He's such a wonderful cynic. I love when he comes in and says something to the effect of 'The human face is about the ugliest thing on this planet.'

Henry Hill in The Music Man. Not that I could be 1% as good as Robert Preston, but I would be even more maniacal with 'Trouble' Sort of like having Dwight Frye play the role.

C.R. MacNamara (James Cagney) One, Two, Three. That machine gun comic delivery. What a great role.

And of course:

Tommy Udo, Kiss of Death - as I've written before, I started mimicing that laugh at about the age of 12.


Regards,

Senator Jack

 

[GOK]

Milady de Winter in the Three Musketeers. I may not look like Lana Turner but I could do that role justice!

Failing that, Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson - Brief Encounter).

 

["Doc" Devereux]

I'll take...

Harry Lime in The Third Man.

 

[GOK]

I see the resemblance! <snigger!> lol

 

["Doc" Devereux]

I see the resemblance! <snigger!> lol

Well the alternative would have to involve going back to emcee-ing, as it were:

But where, oh where, would I find myself a Liza?
