MoMA's screening it as part of a Lillian Gish retrospective and that's a great if very strange film, directed by Charles Laughton. I was always intrigued by the fact that Gable and Mitchum each first made a splash in similar roles, as bearded villains, in William Boyd westerns, at least a decade apart. Their great voices really put them over (and they should've worn beards more often). By the way, I know how you felt running into the Mitchum lookalike at the office party. Years ago, I encountered a guy who looked exactly, and I mean precisely, like the young James Stewart except that he had red hair. I asked him if anyone had ever told him that before and he answered no, and he had no idea of the resemblance, which kind of drives me crazy to this day, and this was a hell of a long time ago.Michael Powersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-72986271642886973072010-04-14T09:04:10.345-04:002010-04-14T09:04:10.345-04:00Jonas - ROFLOL!
