Bob Beck | @ To Tony DeCaro: Taking the liberty of responding to your message, the Oscar night was in 1973, a posthumous honor for Edward G. Robinson for his magnificent career. The clip (though I don't remember it from that telecast) is undoubtedly SCARLET STREET, 1945, in which Robinson plays a cashier/Sunday painter. His works go on display in Greenwich Village, and a dealer criticizes the works as lacking perspective. But the works sell anyway as great art. The film had censorship problems (for 1945 -- multiple stabs of Joan Bennett with scissors by Robinson), but it's one of his best film noirs, directed by Fritz Lang, and also starring Dan Duryea, Margaret Lindsay, Rosalind Ivan, and Vladimir Sokoloff as the art dealer. It's available as a rental. Hope this helps. 9 February 2009 - St. Louis Tony DeCaro | @ I remember an old Oscar's Night program where EGR was being honored, don't remember what for. They showed several clips from his films and one line, which I've never forgotten, keeps coming to mind; in this movie he was talking about paintings/art, he said several things describing this piece of art and then he said something like: "What this painting ain't got is a lick of perspective"; not sure on the exact phrasing. I'd love to see that film, any ideas on the title? 5 February 2009 - Visalia, California Robert Beck` | @ Oh, and of course the aforementioned THE RED HOUSE. 26 January 2009 - St. Louis Robert Beck | @ Responding to John's message, on this, the 36th anniversary of EGR's passing: he dies in at least 30 of his films, more than a third: SOYLENT GREEN, ACTORS AND SIN, ALL MY SONS, UNHOLY PARTNERS, WOMAN IN THE WINDOW (suicide, but in the last he comes back; it was a dream!); THE PRIZE and THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING (but his twin survives in both); THE OLD MAN WHO CRIED WOLF, MACKENNA'S GOLD, SEVEN THIEVES, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, BLACK TUESDAY, THE GLASS WEB, HOUSE OF STRANGERS, NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES, KEY LARGO, MANPOWER, THE SEA WOLF, DR. EHRLICH'S MAGIC BULLET, THE LAST GANGSTER, KID GALAHAD, BULLETS OR BALLOTS, SILVER DOLLAR, TIGER SHARK, TWO SECONDS, LITTLE CAESAR, THE WIDOW FROM CHICAGO, OUTSIDE THE LAW, and ILLEGAL (somewhat unclear in the last-named at the fadeout if he really dies, though he's definitely shot); His manner of death ranges from gun shot to heart attack to falls, a shark, old age. Quickest demise was in ROBIN AND THE 7 HOODS during the first two minutes. Next question -- how many famous names did he "kill.?" 26 January 2009 - St. Louis John Maybe The Red House in 1947? At end of film he drives his car into the mud. One film of many in which Eddy G. dies. In the Sea Wolf he goes down with the ship and you see all the water engulfing him. There were so many films in which he died at the end. Maybe somebody can list them all. 25 January 2009 - ny Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 83 Next - -
