His name is Alexander Archibald Leach!

If I remeber right.

He used to live in a house down the rd from me, and there's a plaque on it bearing that excessively sad name.

 

[DaveCinzano]

telegram sent to cary grant's agent by a journalist:

"how old cary grant?"

reply, sent by cary grant himself:

"old cary grant fine [stop] how you?"

 

[DaveCinzano]

excessively sad name.

That time vortex is clearly gearing up again.

As long as it holds out, and no-one gets distracted by the mass reincarnation of dead local movie stars, we'll get to the 10k marker sometime this afternoon.

 

[munkeeunit]

Then change youre name by deed pool to "Alexander Archibald Leach" to prove how great it is.

Thank you!

You're welcome. Have just thought of another of his films - a most excellent one at that - Operation Petticoat

I could watch that over and over

 

[rowan]

you would, wouldn't you

I might, but he'd have to do something about that hair!

 

[JTG]

my mate lives next door to the house where he was born

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I might, but he'd have to do something about that hair!

Well HE was a war bride at the time

 

[Streathamite]

god, he's so suave I just wanna crawl into a corner and paint the word 'uncouth' on my forehead!

He would be far too polite to think that of you, even if you are

Aaah, on the ship with Tony Curtis?

I have to confess, I have a bit of a thing about movies of this era, back in the days before special effects were all. I'm going to go and see if I can find HGF on DVD this afternoon.

 

[belboid]

Let us not forget The Pride & The Passion as well, magnifico movie

Yep, brilliant film. Think Curtis played whatever the navy call someone who acquires things! er, supply officer or something

I'm a fan of films from this period as well.

Mister Roberts was a brilliant film as well

under £3.00 on Amazon

 

[Iam]

w00t! Amazon's been quite useful recently, for buying records from the states that aren't getting UK releases, but that's about all I use it for. Might have to look at DVDs there more often.

I've not had a poke around in the DVD section in Virgin for yonks, though, and I'm going today. The last thing I bought was The Big Sleep for £1.50 - bargain!
