Team Modern edged a little closer in a few of the matches yesterday but still only lead in one of the five matches. That would be Harrison Ford up by only a single vote over Jimmy Cagney 14-13. Team Classic is pretty much rolling in the other four matches. Steve McQueen leads Clint Eastwood 18-9. S read more

For this post I wanted to focus on Jane Wyman's contributions to the screwball comedy genre. Most people know Jane for her serious films such as The Yearling, The Lost Weekend, Johnny Belinda (her only Oscar win), Stage Fright, and All That Heaven Allows. But Jane got her start in film early in read more

Team Classic continues to dominate over Team Modern as they lead four of the five matches. Steve McQueen is crushing Clint Eastwood 16-5. Spencer Tracy has doubled on Tom Cruise 14-7. Cary Grant leads Johnny Depp 18-4. Clark Gable is just laying waste to Daniel Day-Lewis 18-2. While the only modern read more

Here are some personal quotes by Jane over the years...supplied by IMDB: The opportunity for brotherhood presents itself every time you meet a human being. I guess I just don't have a talent for it, some women just aren't the marrying kind - or anyway, not the permanent marrying kind, a read more

The Lombard Cup is underway and after one day it is evident Team Classic has come to play. They lead in all five matches but two of those are by a close margin. The blow-outs are Steve McQueen rolling over Clint Eastwood 12-2. Cary Grant taking care of Johnny Depp 12-3. And The King, Clark Gable ha read more

Here is my take on the first five matches in the Lombard Cup showcasing classic era actors matching up with their modern counterparts.  Match 1: Steve McQueen vs Clint Eastwood While Eastwood burst out in the 60's thanks to his man with no name western trilogy and could have easily fit in read more

This morning I made my selections for the pairings of the 20 matches between classic era and modern era actors. You may be wondering how I chose the pairings. Wonder no more. The pics below show the baskets which I pulled names from at random to make this truly a tourney of chance. Just depends on read more

Say hello to Jane Wyman, November's classic movie goddess. Jane is one of my top 25 classic movie actresses of all time. And like so many other stars I first remember seeing her in the twilight of her career. On Friday nights on CBS back in the early 80's as family patriarch Angela Ch read more

Here are a few mini-posters for my upcoming Lombard Cup event. Nothing too fancy, just an actor from a certain era with the dates. read more

As I wrote in an earlier post I am setting up a new tourney for November. This time focusing on the men. But  this will not be the regular kind of tourney. I am combining my love of golf's ryder cup play with actors. It will match up the top 20 classic era actors against the top 20 modern era read more

I won...my goodness! Thank you, everyone who voted for me and thanks to All Good Things After a close start on Thursday, Grace Kelly pulled away from Ingrid Bergman to win Favorite Leading Lady in an Alfred Hitchcock Film Tourney by the count of 27-16. It marks the first ever tourney win for G read more

Another month means two more inductees for my Hall of Fame.This month it is Jean Arthur and Errol Flynn. Both get in thanks to their Montie wins. Both from the same year of 1938. Jean won as Best Actress for You Can't Take It With You, a marvelous performance by the way. And Errol won Best Actor as read more

Looks like this match is all but over as Grace has pulled ahead of Ingrid by the count of 23-14 after day 3. It would take a massive comeback by Ingrid, which is possible, but highly unlikely. Still, the poll will be up until 6 pm EST tonight before the winner is declared. Good luck to both ac read more

Caroline Munro....words won't be able to say enough about this fascinating lass. Born in Windsor, England in 1949, she attended art school in Brighton. In 1965 one of her fellow students took her photograph and entered them in a modeling contest. Out of  700 entries submitted, hers was cho read more
