Vintage Hollywood !
What is it about vintage movies and actors that survive the test of time ? What substance do they have that's lacking in the most up to date movies if you compare them both ? Everything in vintage was suggestion and innuendo , nod of the head and maybe a wink if the leading man was lucky . You had people like Howard Hughes designing a bra to be specially fitted to Jane Russel's breasts . There was voluptuousness in all the ladies on show , never an indiscrete line to be crossed . Your imaginations ran riot and the pleasure of just watching sheer class in motion was the only enticement for you to visit the movies .
I had my favourites , there would always be Marilyn at the top of the list , Grace Kelly always made it too , and for sheer talent , and beauty you had to include Audrey Hepburn . Roman Holiday if you haven't seen it is a must see ! Everyone had their favourites and they were mine .
When you look at the male of the species , you couldn't look any further than Steve McQueen , he was a mans man . And was never truly rewarded for his work and craft in Hollywood , though to be honest he never seemed to actually care about it . Maybe that's the reason he was overlooked so many times .
My other favourite leading man is and always will be Jack Nicholson . From the first time I seen him in Easy Rider I seen quite early how mischievous he was about to become . He has a certain je ne sais quoi about him , something that's not clearly evident , but when he's in full flow he lights up the screen like freshly risen morning sunshine . He's naughty , he always had a thing for younger women , and when he play the part of "Nick" in the Witches of Eastwick , it seemed the part was written for Jack and only Jack .
Enough of the nostalgia , but I will finally say , best movie of all time ? Now that's a real hard one , but for music talent and Grace Kelly it has to be High Society .
Tomorrow I will probably reconsider my choice , but for now I will leave you with my rendition of " While I give to you , and you give to me
True love True love
So on and on it will always be
True love true love
For you and I have a Guardian Angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true...................................................
Goodnight Everybody ! XOX
