    I adore Joel McCrea - but up against the fabulous Cary...oh no!! Cooper should easily top Montgomery and Bogart ought to best Fonda (as great an actor as HF is - he's up against the monolithic BOGIE). The interesting contest is Stewart vs. Peck. Jefferson Smith against Atticus Finch...a fine competition...

    I'm with Ginger...Stewart vs. Peck is a nearly-impossible choice. And, I'm also with The Lady Eve on Joel McCrea...like him alot, but against Cary...

    And you know, Monty, the darkhorse Montgomery is up against my guy Coop, so I cannot be pulling for the darkhorse this time around. Though, as of now, that is the only race that is close, which surprises me. There must be plenty more Montgomery fans than I ever realized (after all, he beat out the legendary Spencer Tracy).
