John Garfield - possibly Between Two Worlds (1944)
It was one of his films from the 40's on Million Dollar Movie but am not 100% on which one.
Once I saw him in one , I tried to see them all.
Jimmy Stewart. First I vividly recall was Rear Window. Great introduction.
Clark Gable. School trip to revival of GWTW !
Lee Marvin and Claude Akins. The Caine Mutiny ! Horrible and Meatball were very memorable.
C. Heston - Greatest Show on Earth which just coincidentally was his first big film role.
I always loved this story: Charlton Heston was driving through the Paramount Pictures lot when he spotted Cecil B. DeMille, whom he had never met. Heston waved. DeMille was so impressed by Heston's wave he made inquiries that ultimately led to Heston being cast as Brad in this film. This was only Heston's third film and it skyrocketed him to fame. One fan wrote a letter to DeMille on how much she enjoyed the movie and commented, "And I'm surprised how well the circus manager [Heston] worked with the real actors." Heston thought it was one of the best reviews he ever received.
Alec Guinness - The Lavender Hill Mob. Many others followed!
another good thread idea kijii , thanks !
