New Tourney Banner

My good friend Desiree, who is handling the 40's era of our Favorite Classic Movie Actress Tourney, made this snazzy cool banner for my blog header pic. I think she did a great job. You may be wondering why these four select women. Well these are my final four pics: Carole Lombard (30's), Ann Sheridan (40's), Elizabeth Taylor (50's) and Romy Schneider (60's). We'll see how it goes.Would love to see everyone else final four picks too. Here's the link to the entire list of all 128 actresses competing...http://poohtiger-allgoodthings.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-3rd-annual-favorite-classic-movie.html

Jane Wyman leads THE DOUGHGIRLS (1944) to hilarity

Ready...aim..fire...The Doughgirls are in town!

Coming out at the tail end of the screwball comedy genre is this wonderful and entertaining film, The Doughgirls. Featuring an all-star cast of Ann Sheridan, Jane Wyman, Jack Carson, Eve Arden, Charlie Ruggles and Alexis Smith. The story centers on recently married couple Arthur and Vivian Halstead (played by Carson and Wyman) who arrive in Washington, DC to honeymoon in their reserved suite. But with the wartime housing shortage (this film is set during WW2) things do not go as planned. When they arrive, their room is already occupied by another recently married couple, Julian and Edna Cadman (played by John Ridgely and Ann Sheridan). There is a tense scene when the two women meet behind closed doors that you think is going to turn ugly, but ends up being not so bad, once they realize they are friends from their old chorus line days. Soon a third friend will drop by a Nan Curtis Dillion (Alexis Smith) who is there to marry a soldier fiancee, who is en route before he flies out on a mission. All this is well and good except that Arthur wants to spend time with his wife, but with so many people dropping by that becomes futile. Eve Arden shows up as Russian soldier, Sgt. Natalia  Moskoroff, on a goodwill tour of the United States. Her accent will have you cracking up every time she speaks. And she also carries her rifle everywhere she goes, occasionally letting off a few shots from the balcony, much to the chagrin of the hotel's manager. Also on hand is Charles Ruggles as Stanley Slade, Arthur's new boss, who decides to put the moves on Vivian. And Edna has to deal with the return of Julian's ex-wife, who wants him back in a big way, now that he is meeting with the high rollers of D.C. Almost all of the action takes place in this one room but a lot of things and situations happen that will keep you entertained throughout.

The performances are all wonderful. Jane Wyman is awesome as Vivian. She gives a ditzy blonde performance (even though she is brunette) that would make Marilyn Monroe proud. You won't believe half the things that come out of her mouth but you will be laughing anyway. I never knew Wyman could be this funny. Ann Sheridan is pretty good too despite a few times she comes close to going over the top with her shrieking. But she gives the best double takes along with Jack Carson out of the whole cast. And speaking of Carson, he is in top form as usual. Alexis Smith actually is quite good in a comedy role instead of her usual dramatic ones. She even gets to do a thick Brooklyn accent that will bring a smile to your face. And let's not forget the great Charles Ruggles, who is perfect as Slade.

The Doughgirls is a very funny movie that I loved from the get go. It's setting will remind you of The More the Merrier and Government Girl, as those films also dealt with the wartime housing shortage too. And it is just as memorable as those films as well. I have no problem placing The Doughgirls on the list of great screwball classics.

Anne Baxter has a message for Ann Sheridan

To: Ann Sheridan


As much as I love your work and films I have to ask that you realize that I am the star of the month and not you. I believe Monty already chose you last year and did a marvelous job from what I hear. But this is 2012 and it's my turn. I'm sure this doesn't have to get awkward or ugly as I know of you're upcoming blogathon and all. I'm sure we can co-exist on All Good Things. Just not at the same time.


Sincerely yours
Anne Baxter

P.S. 
Of course if I have to throw down with you...we can do that too...

Dang...I sense a little hostility between the two Anne's...I will try to accommodate both women though here on AGT.

The start of another tournament...

My friend Kristen of Journeys in Classic Film just kicked off her Leading Man Tournament which features 40 actors over 8 decades. She starts with the 30's era today. Here's the link to go cast your vote.

And here's a photo of Ann Sheridan spreading the word. Man, that Ann has been showing up all over All Good Things a lot lately..hasn't she?

I understand..I will let everyone know. Well me and Monty will!

A weird dream about Ann Sheridan...

As most of my readers know, my dreams tend to be about movies. Haven't had a dream in awhile until last night. And it was a beaut. It was during the middle of the day and I was home, watching TV. My wife was not there but my three dogs were. I hear a knock on the door and I open it to find Ann Sheridan there. I was stunned. She asked if I was me, and I said yes and invited her in. She had on a long flowing black dress and walked in and my dogs came running out. Now they are very friendly but will bark if they don't know you. Which they did but Ann just gave them this serious glare and they all wimpered off. Then she asked about my blogs and stuff. And asked why was I the only who didn't write a post for her recent blogathon. I was like I didn't even know there was one for her going on. Then she went ballistic...saying things like "Oh what I can't have a blogathon? What I'm not worthy like Bette or Kate?" I said oh no Ms. Sheridan, you definitely should have one. My only excuse for not doing it was I guess I was so busy with all my blogs and other blogs I contribute to. She said well to fix it right now but writing a post right then and there. With her watching me. It made me very uncomfortable, but I did it. And she read it and liked it. And then the dream kind of faded out and I woke up. What was really strange is that I didn't recently see one of her films or had been posting about her. If it had been Anne Baxter, who is my star of the month, I could understand, but Ann Sheridan just came out of nowhere. Just wanted to share another one of my wild and crazy dreams.

My Final Four Picks in the Favorite Classic Movie Actress Tourney

I was asked today by a friend who am I picking for my Final Four finalists for the favorite classic movie actress tournament. Of course for the 30's era it's my girl Carole Lombard. No offense to last year's winner Irene Dunne, but Carole is my favorite actress of all time. I'm going with Ann Sheridan for the 40's era. Elizabeth Taylor in the 50's era. And for the 60's I'm choosing Shirley MacLaine, slightly over Natalie Wood. And for Carole to win the whole thing. So those are my choices. Would love to see who everyone else will be going for.

THE MONTIES: 1943 - Without a Shadow of a Doubt, Hitchcock wins his first Montie..as well as a couple of women named Anne

Back with another year of the Monties, my version of the Oscars. These are the films and performances I would have given an award to as being best in show for that given year. So let's get to it.

BEST FILM
winner: Shadow Of A Doubt
nominees: The More The Merrier; The Ox-Bow Incident; Casablanca; Edge of Darkness;
A Guy Named Joe; Old Acquaintance; Five Graves To Cairo; I Walked With A Zombie
Thoughts: Shadow Of A Doubt becomes the first Hitchcock film to pick up a Montie. Rebecca and The Lady Vanishes were the only previous Hitch films to receive a Best Film nomination but lost out to my favorite films of all time, His Girl Friday and Bringing Up Baby respectively. There were plenty of excellent films in 1943 such as The Ox-Bow Incident and Old Acquaintance. Some people may be surprised to see I Walked With A Zombie making the nominee list but if you have never seen this film, it is really, really good. A standout.

Nothing like a little celebratory feast, eh Teresa?

BEST DIRECTOR

winner: Alfred Hitchcock (Shadow Of A Doubt)

nominees: George Stevens (The More The Merrier); William Wellman (The Ox-Box Incident);

Billy Wilder (Five Graves To Cairo); Vincent Sherman (Old Acquaintance)

Thoughts: It was only a matter of time before I would give Hitch a Montie for Best Director. And we haven't even hit his most creative and rich period yet of the 50's. Expect plenty more Monties to go his way by the time it's all said and done.

Hitch doing a little dance after his win

BEST ACTOR

winner: Henry Fonda (The Ox-Bow Incident)

nominees: Errol Flynn (Edge Of Darkness); Joseph Cotten (Shadow Of A Doubt); Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca); Spencer Tracy (A Guy Named Joe)

Thoughts: As much as an iconic role that Bogie had in Casablanca, I was more impressed with the subtle performance of Henry Fonda in The Ox-Bow Incident as drifter Gil Carter who tries to be the sensible voice among a furious mob who wants justice on the men they think are guilty. Fonda shows you don't have to have a showy role to convey how talented an actor can be. He is excellent and worthy of a Montie. And honorable mention goes to Joseph Cotten as Uncle Charlie from Shadow Of A Doubt. Any other year, he would probably would have walked away with a Montie himself.

Ya'll hear that...I just won a Montie!

BEST ACTRESS

winner: Ann Sheridan (Edge Of Darkness)

nominees: Bette Davis (Old Acquaintance); Teresa Wright (Shadow Of A Doubt); Jean Arthur (The More The Merrier); Frances Dee (I Walked With A Zombie)

Thooughts: Proving there is more to her than being known just as the Oooomph Girl, Ann Sheridan was really, really good in Edge Of Darkness. Cast as a young Norwegian woman named Karen Stensgard, who along with her fishing village try to stand up German rule. She endures quite a lot in a very strong and moving performance. Powerful. Side note: some might be surprised to see Frances Dee here nominated for her performance in I Walked With A Zombie, but trust me, she is really good in this underrated film. As the nurse who comes to take care of a woman going through some problems, she winds up in the middle of voodoo and other things. This is quite a classic as is Dee's performance.

Ann looking a little tense before I announce her as the winner for Best Actress

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

winner: Anne Baxter (Five Graves To Cairo)

nominees: Esther Williams (A Guy Named Joe); Kim Hunter (The Seventh Victim); Lena Horne (Cabin In The Sky); Carmen Miranda (The Gang's All Here)

Thoughts: Well, well another Anne wins a Montie. This time being Anne Baxter in Five Graves To Cairo. She is terrific as Mouche, who helps a British soldier escape the clutches of German Field Marshall Rommel. I don't think Anne was ever better than here..maybe All About Eve. But she gives a truly outstanding performance. The other nominees are quite varied with Esther Williams, Lena Horne and Carmen Miranda.

Really, you boys think you can do better than Monty? I doubt that...he just thought

I gave a performance worthy of one of his awards.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

winner: Claude Rains (Casablanca)

nominees: Charles Coburn (The More The Merrier); Erich Von Stroheim (Five Graves To Cairo); Hume Cronyn (Shadow Of A Doubt); Harry Morgan (The Ox-Bow Incident)

Thoughts: Claude Rains wins his second Montie for his wonderful performance as Captain Louis Renault in Casablanca. He earns that film's only award from me and he deserves it. I acutally find his relationship with Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) far more interesting than Rick's and Ilsa. Louis and Rick have that type of relationship of give and take and is a joy to watch.

This Monty chap is a man of good taste I see...

So that wraps up the 1943 Monties..final tally..Shadow Of A Doubt is a multiple winner with two awards; Fives Graves to Cairo gets one; Casablanca gets one; Edge of Darkness gets one and The Ox-Bow Incident gets one. I spreaded the wealth around for this year. Be back shortly with 1944 and maybe a few more categories I'm thinking of adding.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

As I will be on the road today traveling to West Virginia to visit family, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. There won't be any new posts here until I get back on Sunday. So I wanted to post one more before leaving. A special photo of Ann Sheridan preparing for Thanksgiving. Everyone take care and I will talk to you guys soon.

THE FALL SERIES: Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan

So are we gonna shoot something or just look mad all day?

The 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Sally of Flying Down To Hollywood is hosting a blogging event, inviting eleven bloggers to join her in blogging about favorite Christmas movies. Only a few people have joined up so far, so if you head on over, you can still leave her a comment to let her know you want to participate. Thanks to Amanda of A Noodle in a Haystack for giving me the heads up. Well, my favorite Christmas movie of all time is Christmas in Connecticut but that pick was already taken. So I will go with another of my favorite films, the 1942 comedy The Man Who Came To Dinner.

It is a manic classic comedy set during Christmas with a lots of star power. When the world famous writer and lecturer Sheridan Whiteside (Monty Woolley) breaks his leg while visiting the home of a prominent Ohio family, he must stay there to recuperate. The family at first is ecstatic to have him stay until they realize what an over-bearing and pompous windbag he really his. Joining him is his personal assistant Maggie Cutler (a subdued Bette Davis). In between frustrating the head of the family, Sheridan, or Sherry as most everyone calls him, must also contend with a newspaper man who is trying to get an interview. The man and Maggie promptly fall in love and Maggie tells Sherry she is leaving him. That won't do so Sherry calls his favorite actress Lorraine Sheldon (a fabulous Ann Sheridan) to come there and break up the happy couple. There are laughs galore in this film and its at a pretty good clip too. Monty Woolley is outstanding in his role as Sherry. He may be hard to deal with it but in the end he will eventually start warming up to others. It's unusual seeing Ms. Davis in a role like this. I mean she has done comedy before and well, but here she is very low key. There are times she kinda fades into the background and is over powered by Ann Sheridan's character. Davis is still good here but I wish during her confrontation scene with Sheridan she was allowed to let loose. In the meantime Ann Sheridan has an absolute great time as Lorraine, trading wisecracks with Sherry and slinging insults to everyone else. Jimmy Durante pops by for a cameo towards the end and he gets a few laughs. The very funny Billie Burke is also on hand as the mother of the put upon family. The Man Who Came To Dinner is a solid comedy which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's not the traditional Christmas movie like Christmas In Connecticut or White Christmas but it's still a very good movie that just happens to take place during Christmas.

Holiday Cheer: 7/10
Like I said this film is not a traditional Christmas film but it does feature a festive atmosphere with all the decorations and people that come and go. Also when Bette and her would be suitor go to the lake and have a little snowball fun, how can you not love it.

Feel-Good Factor: 9/10
While some of the characters may be sarcastic and mean spirited such as Woolley and Sheridan, it's still a fun movie to watch. I mean, it's a comedy after all. And you will laugh quite a bit during it's runtime.

Overall: 9/10
The Man Who Came To Dinner is a treat for all those who watch it. It's Christmas setting makes it even more appealing to watch during the holidays, but it's such a great movie, you can watch it year round.

The Doughgirls (1944) is one of the last good screwball comedies...

Coming out at the tail end of the screwball comedy genre is this wonderful and entertaining film, The Doughgirls. Featuring an all-star cast of Ann Sheridan, Jane Wyman, Jack Carson, Eve Arden, Charlie Ruggles and Alexis Smith. The story centers on recently married couple Arthur and Vivian Halstead (played by Carson and Wyman) who arrive in Washington, DC to honeymoon in their reserved suite.

Soon a third friend will drop by a Nan Curtis Dillion (Alexis Smith) who is there to marry a soldier fiancee, who is en route before he flies out on a mission. All this is well and good except that Arthur wants to spend time with his wife, but with so many people dropping by that becomes futile. Eve Arden shows up as Russian soldier, Sgt. Natalia  Moskoroff, on a goodwill tour of the United States. Her accent will have you cracking up every time she speaks. And she also carries her rifle everywhere she goes, occasionally letting off a few shots from the balcony, much to the chagrin of the hotel's manager. Also on hand is Charles Ruggles as Stanley Slade, Arthur's new boss, who decides to put the moves on Vivian.

Almost all of the action takes place in this one room but a lot of things and situations happen that will keep you entertained throughout.

The Doughgirls is a very funny movie that I loved from the get go. It's setting will remind you of The More the Merrier and Government Girl, as those films also dealt with the wartime housing shortage. And it is just as memorable as those films as well. I have no problem placing The Doughgirls on the list of great screwball classics.

Classic Movie Goddess Of The Month - Ann Sheridan Part 5

For my final post on Ann Sheridan as my featured classic movie goddess of the month, I will wrap it up with some pics that show her at her most loveliest. Enjoy.

Classic Movie Goddess Of The Month - Ann Sheridan Part 4

Here are some interesting personal quotes from Ann:

I used to go to Grauman's Chinese or Pantages and sit there waiting to see my faceless body on the screen. Texas began to look awfully near and awfully good, and "Clara Lou" had a sweet sound to my ears.

I can whistle through my fingers, bulldog a steer, light a fire with two sticks, shoot a pistol with fair accuracy, set type, and teach school . . .

They nicknamed me "The Oomph Girl", and I loathe that nickname! Just being known by a nickname indicates that you're not thought of as a true actress . . . It's just crap! If you call an actress by her looks or a reaction, then that's all she'll ever be thought of as.

[on Errol Flynn] He was one of the wild characters of the world, but he had a strange, quiet side. He camouflaged himself completely. In all the years I knew him, I never really knew what lay underneath and I doubt if many people did.

Classic Movie Goddess Of The Month - Ann Sheridan Part 3

Time for the part of classic movie goddess called The Essentials. These are the films that showcase the best work of the actress in question. These are the films that you need to see to show you the talents of the goddess of the month. This month being Ann Sheridan. So here we go...

THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER (1941) Ann co-stars with Bette Davis and Monty Woolley in this classic comedy. She is sensational as Broadway star Lorraine Sheldon who gets several juicy scenes and ends up outshining Bette. This was one of the first comedy roles Sheridan took on after playing in several gangster flicks and dramas. She showed that she had a natural flair for comedy.


THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (1940) Classic film noir with heavyweights Humphrey Bogart, George Raft, and Ida Lupino. But it's Sheridan who steals the show as wise-cracking waitress Cassie. She is one woman who you can't fool for even a minute.


I  WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE (1949) Teaming up with Cary Grant for this frantic comedy that lets Sheridan have some fun once again. She plays Catherine Gates, an American officer who marries Grant's French officer with many complications to follow. Good stuff.


NORA PRENTISS (1947) This is Ann's Gilda. She is terrific as Nora, the nightclub singer who falls for a married man. Potent and a strong performance by Sheridan.





GEORGE WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE (1942) Another solid comedy with Ann playing wife to Jack Benny. And she more than holds her own with the wisecrack master.



KINGS ROW (1942) Loaded with several taboo subjects such as homosexuality, incest, and nymphomania with an all star cast featuring Ronald Reagan, Claude Rains, Charles Coburn, Judith Anderson and of course Ann. Ann gives one of her best performances as the feisty Randy, a good-hearted girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

So there you have, six of Ann's very best roles. I could have named a few more but I believe these films are required viewing if you are eager to watch some of Ann's best work. Other choices include Edge Of Darkness (1943), Dodge City (1939), and Torrid Zone (1940).

	Appeared under her real name through 1935. Was named Max Factor's "Girl of the Year" for 1939. Was used as a body double (hands, legs, shoulders) while at Paramount. Due to her being known as "The Oomph Girl" she later became the inspiration for the brand of woman's house-slippers called "Oomphies".
	According to an article in The Newark Evening News, Ann kept busy during her 1941 strike from Warner Bros. by rebuilding abandoned cars at a friend's garage.

No Doughgirls with Ann tonight....very disappointed

A month or so ago I had recorded The Doughgirls on my VCR. And kept putting off to watch it until tonight. Well I went to watch it and I must have accidentally erased or recorded over it because it's not there. Very disappointed and then found that the movie isn't available on DVD. Was looking forward to watch this wartime comedy with Ann Sheridan, Jane Wyman, Eve Arden and Jack Carson. So now I will watch 42nd Street as originally planned from Monday night. It's just that I own only one other Ann Sheridan movie, Dodge City and this would have been a nice viewing experience since I am spotlighting Ann as my Classic Movie Goddess this month. And plus I've never seen The Doughgirls. Color me very disappointed.
