Question!

Does anyone on my flist know the Rock Hudson movie "Man's Favorite Sport"?  I just made icons from the movie, and I feel like a dork because who's gonna want them?

I know who Rock Hudson is, and I vaguely recall the movie. I'm just amazed and so happy that you know who he is!

Classic Hollywood isn't dead! Yeah!

I worked with several people, all older than you, who didn't know who several movie stars were from Hudson's era-- including Grace Kelly-- and I just about fell over.

Good God, if there's an interest out there, maybe I should do some icons of Rod Taylor. And if you don't know who he is, you'll fall in love with him the minute you do. :)

Alright, who forgot to sign in when they commented? :)

I love and adore Rock Hudson almost as much as Cary Grant! Oh, that reminds me, we have some of his DVDs, I'll have to icon his movies too.

I remember being vaguely horrified to find out people my own age didn't know someone like Cary Grant, Rock or even Doris Day.

And I must know who this Rod Taylor is.

Make a guess... Damn I'm bad about that! It's my freakin' browser and settings!

I knew it!

LOL. {{{chagrined}}} sorry.

Oh it's fine!

All right, now that I'm signed in-- Cary Grant! Yeah! God, I absolutely love him. Charade, Bringing up Baby (which I named one of my cats after) and My Favorite Brunette are just some of my favorites-- Oh, and Arsenic and Old Lace, how could I forget?

I can't tell you have thrilled I am when I hear younger people talking about the stars of Hollywood past. I not that old, but I was raised by my grandmother and greatgrandmother, so I was spoon fed classic movies, and I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.

Have you ever seen The 39 Steps with Robert Donat, or Sabatour with Robert Cummings? These actors were fantastic as well, and these movies are awesome.

I think one of my favorite Cary Grant movies has to be Father Goose. My mom raised me on Cary and Doris Day and Rock Hudson and I love them all. I've seen so many of their movies.

Oh, and Operation Petticoat with Cary and Tony Curtis? Oh I love Tony Curtis. I love that movie.

And I haven't heard about those movies you named, or the actors which surprises me since both my parents watch the older movies.

Guess it would help if I could spell too, it's actually "Saboteur" -

Both movies are Hitchcock films. One (The 39 Steps) is ages old (c.1935) and the other (Saboteur) was WWII era. They're virtually the same movie, with the exception of Sabteur having one of those typical Hitchcock nail biting endings that takes place on the Statue of Liberty - It's sort of Xmen before Xmen :)

The 39 Steps may be hard to come by in a rental place, and for that matter Sabatour as well. I picked up a copy of the first at Best Buy for I think 4 bucks about 10 years ago. Probably get it for $1 now. So sad the classic are now bargin basement finds.

Ah, I haven't watched any Hitchcock films. Don't really know anything about them either, so that would be why I haven't heard about them. Thanks for the info.
