Eleanor Parker Was “Caged”
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 9, 2020
When I was introduced to Eleanor Parker as Baroness Elsa Schraeder in The Sound of Music (Robert Wise, 1965), I didn’t immediately become a fan of her. Her character annoyed me, and, perhaps, I was too focused on Julie Andrews to take the time to focus on her performance. And this, even tho I read more
Sum Up | Eleanor Parker: Oscar Nominee
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 22, 2019
Eleanor Parker did not win any Academy Awards, which is simultaneously obvious and inexplicable. The latter because she obviously deserved one (or six), the former because if she had won any, she’d have been better known in the eighties and nineties, when home video and basic cable drove classic fi read more

On DVD: Eleanor Parker in The Last Ride (1944)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Nov 7, 2018
Briskly-paced and clocking in at just under an hour The Last Ride (1944) is a moderately entertaining wartime crime programmer. While chiefly of historical interest, it has a little more zing than other flicks of its kind. The film recently made its DVD debut from Warner Archive.

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 24, 2018
When she starred in Eye of the Cat, Eleanor Parker had been in more than forty theatrical films. She was forty-seven years old. She had just been in the biggest movie of all time–1965’s The Sound of Music. When Eye of the Cat came out in June 1969, Sound of Music was still playing in theaters in read more
Actor | Eleanor Parker, Part 3: Baroness
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 17, 2018
Going into the nineteen sixties, Eleanor Parker’s acting career seemed to have regained some of its recently lost momentum. Home from the Hill, released in March 1960, brought Parker into a genre she’d long avoided–the all-star soap. And–in addition to Parker being outstanding in the film, Hill read more

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jan 8, 2018
When Eleanor Parker left her Warner Bros. contract in early 1950, she did so before any of her films of that year released. There were three–Chain Lightning, Caged, and Three Secrets. All three were successful. She was top-billed on the latter two (and second-billed only to Bogart in Lightnin read more

Following the release of Lizzie (1957) and The Woman in White (1948) earlier this spring, Warner Archive continues to feed my Eleanor Parker lady crush with another pair of new releases featuring the actress.

Warner Archive: Eleanor Parker Takes the Lead in Lizzie (1957) and The Woman in White (1948)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 1, 2016
Parker in 1948
Eleanor Parker had the talent and appeal of a movie star, but she never developed a recognizable star persona. Nor was she interested in doing so. The actress would become lost in her roles, seemingly becoming a new woman with each film. She could not be typecast, because no one kne read more
[Stop Button Lists] Eleanor Parker at MGM, 1952-60
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 16, 2015
I grew up avoiding Eleanor Parker movies. At least the one everyone knew about–my mom and my sister used to watch The Sound of Music all the time. My dad and I avoided it for years. When I did discover Eleanor Parker in the late nineties, I can’t remember the order in which I saw her fi read more
