Sunset Boulevard
All About Eve
Harvey
The Third Man
Born Yesterday
Father of the Bride
Rio Grande
The Asphalt Jungle
In a Lonely Place
Surprised no one mentioned Harvey
What a year for performances. Of all, my favorite was George Sanders in All About Eve. So slimy. He tears Eve Harrington apart in 3 minutes. Used to be an old poster on the old CF board named AddisonDeWitt.

Used to be an old poster on the old CF board named AddisonDeWitt. Yes - I was thinking of him only a couple of days ago when the Dorothy Malone thread appeared (Addison was a big fan of her, esp her mambo in WRITTEN ON THE WIND) - I suspect he'd prefer the term "veteran" or "vintage" or even "classic" - rather than "old" though  |

A check of its release dates shows a premiere in Los Angeles on December 22, 1949. That may have been new information. So, for 1950, my Best Actor become Humphrey Bogart in In A Lonely Place. |
