I know THE SEA WOLF well -- a fine film, very well made with at the time the latest special effects: wind machines and studio tank. Did you know that Spencer Tracy was originally slated to play Lancey in THE CINCINNATI KID? He had to withdraw because of poor health. Robinson had also replaced Tracy in CHEYENNE AUTUMN the preceding year. I've seen all but four of Robinson's 89 feature films and have collected all but seven. The last few are elusive as they are either silent or such early talking pictures that no one seems to have them. In his very first, 1916's ARMS AND THE WOMAN, he plays only a bit, and the film is surely lost to the ages. I saw 1923's THE BRIGHT SHAWL (another silent) about three years ago at a Gish festival screening in Dorothy and Lillian's home town, Massillon, Ohio. (Dorothy was one of the female leads). 6 May 2008 - St. Louis lisa woods | @ Francesca, My mother has a bronze Chinese sculpture called Scholar on a Horse that was bought at an auction in Los angeles in the late 1980's that belong to your grandfather.Can you tell me if he collected bronzes or if this indeed belonged to him.I can email you a picture of it if you like. We enjoyed all of your grandfather's movies and my 25 yr old daughter is becoming a fan as well. 6 May 2008 - portland oregon Karen To Bob John Garfield is one of my favorite actors too. He starred in The Sea Wolf with EGR. Ida Lupino was in it too, a great actress! I have yet to see it. Did you Bob? If so, How did you like it? How about when EGR played Poker card shark expert Lancey Howard in The Cincinnati Kid. I love the line at the end, when Lancey says to the Kid played by Steve McQueen. "You're good kid, but as long as I'm around you're second best. You might as well learn to live with it". No one could have delivered that line better!!!! EGR was in a class all his own! 5 May 2008 - Pa Karen Ps. a great informative web site to read about EGR's movies & about his life or any other movie or star is IMDB very useful. 5 May 2008 - pa Karen Hi Bob All those EGR movies you mentioned interest me! :) I remember seeing "Brother Orchid" awhile ago. I enjoyed that! I am 51 years young and I can remember watching the old B&W movies on the late show or in the early mornings when we had about 7 channels to chose from on the tube! Thank goodness for Turner Classic Movies! It has shown me many,many wonderful little known films. I have been a diehard movie fan for about 25 years. I could talk about the old movies and the Hollywood stars of yester-year all day long! They sure don't make them like they use too. The caliber of stars and films with a great plot were the best and they did not need the inappropriate, gory and violent scenes that are ever so present in today’s movies. 5 May 2008 - Pa Previous 1 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 99 Next - -
