Bringing Up Baby is can be unfun: Hepburn was miscast. Grant was saddled with a character that could be funny or merely annoying. Nonetheless, I do enjoy it, but not as much as The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, et cetera...

He was a goofy actor.
Good luck finding anyone from any era anywhere near as good as he was. I'd be curious to read your nominees...

Grant was a very versatile actor, I think. He was able to switch seamlessly from comedy to drama. To wit: Suspicion vs. Arsenic and Old Lace.
On my recent viewing list:
Thor
The Devil's Own (with Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford)

In the credits I see a Don Costello. Was that Lou's brother? I know Lou had a brother that used to do some stunt work for him---that is why I ask.
Oh and my movie was Time of Their Lives.

Pick any one. I just can't stand him. Bogart, Rains, Montgomery, Wayne, Arbuckle etc....

That is going back quite a ways. He was fine, though I have no seen much that he has starred in. I have probably seen more things he produced.

You haven't seen Harold, but you've seen Fatty? Harold's much better, IMO.
Not bad lookin', either.

You're just holding that woman incident against Fatty.
When Fatty and Buster were in movies together it was hilarious. Even my five year old laughs---without sound. Interestingly, I find that I see a lot of Fatty when I watch old Benny Hill episodes. It is sort of like Fatty with sound. Those hilarious facial expressions et al.

I hold nothing against Fatty! (& wasn't it found that he did not commit that crime?) I have a dvd set of his short films.
Never seen Benny Hill. Not sure what he was like, though he probably took a lot from Arbuckle.

Yes, he was found innocent but that didn't help his career after that point. The local library lends out DVDs and I get my fill that way.
A lot might be an understatement. All of Fatty's woman chasing is Benny's fodder as well.

Fatty's life & career were largely destroyed by that incident. (I'm an old Hollywood scandal buff.) He was innocent of the crime, but in the eyes of the studios and the public, it didn't matter much. His career never recovered, although he started to make a comeback right before his death.
Last night - Tron.
I drive my husband batty by saying, "It's not an American story, it's an Irish one" whenever something goes awry in our household. lol

Haha! I watched this movie when it came out in the theater oh, back in 1996 or '97, I believe. Not too bad of a film, though I heard Ford and Pitt did NOT get along while filming.
And Pitt's Irish accent could have used a bit more work...

Exactly. You said it better than I did.
I mean the guy helped Chaplin along and Actually discovered Buster Keaton and Bob Hope. He was a big figure in comedy both literally and figuratively.
