This is turning out to be a fascinating thread like the Hollywood antakshari, with all this interesting info...

QUOTE he took me by surprise, as i sat without any expectations at all. Am looking forward to watch some more of his films...some time soon. It was a Billy Wilder film. And what a performance by Dietrich too! Laughton directed only one film, The Night of the Hunter(1955), starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters and the great Lillian Gish. It is considered a masterpiece. I am teetering on the edge of recognizing this face. Tomorrow...

Here is one more..though havent watched many of his films..i liked his one portrayal to the hilt.. Edward Fox is a recognisable character actor from the 70s-80s. Most indians would recognise him from Gandhi and perhaps as M in the best Bond film - Never Say Never Again. May I recommend an extraordinary film he had a small role in: The Duellists (1977). This is director Ridley Scott's first feature-length film, made on a shoe-string budget and far better than the mega-budget films he now makes. A fascinating period piece, beautifully shot in crumbling castles all over Europe, this is as atmospheric as Scott's more acclaimed Blade Runner and Alien (both classics by the way). The effort of tracking down this lost classic is well worth it! Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W. H. Auden |

This actress - one of my favourites - is not going to be easy to identify! So, a few hints are probably necessary:
1- She has worked in english language and european language films. 2- Married to a very famous director (her 2nd marriage). 3- Star of perhaps the finest film on the subject of religion - she played the title character.

Claude Chabrol's ex-wife Stephane Audran. She acted in a number of his films. The movie is Babette's Feast It is indeed an inspired movie. And no, I have not seen seen The Discreet Charm of the bourgeoisie yet

And no, I have not seen seen The Discreet Charm of the bourgeoisie yet Bravo!!! She's one of my 4-5 favourite actresses so good to see someone else recognise her. Her performance in Babette's Feast was brilliant. She was also great in her husband's film Le Boucher. Definitely watch it if you can.....I don't like Bunuel (except Los Olvidados)...

Faraaj...will look for Duellists.
btw, I liked Edward Fox in " Day of the Jackal"..he was as enigmatic as the character. Ofcourse, General Dyer in Gandhi..is more popular i guess. Madhavi that is brilliant..i never watched any of her films. Will watch for Babette's feast too.. Here is one more from me...

SF If you come to Australia, I can show The Duellists to you in an excellent print! And cook you a nice meal too To be honest, I didn't like Day of the Jackal because I felt it fell too far short of the book. There are some films and directors e.g. Lubitsch, that are widely admired but I just never warmed to them....but Day of the Jackal is considered a classic as obviously are Lubitsch films. I love Hollywood musicals, and of course Gene Kelly (this pic must be circa 45-47) was one of the greats with classics like Anchors Aweigh, An American in Paris and Singin in the Rain (Good mornin' was a classic song!). But I liked one of his few non-singing performances - Inherit the Wind. He had to rub elbows with double oscar winners Spencer Tracy and Frederic March in a court-room classic about the Scopes trial (aka monkey trial). Tracy and March played real life legendary lawyers Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryant, while Gene was an ultra-cynical journalist. Another really special film....there are so many!!!!!!!!

Ah! Mine too! But then I have so many favorites Fred Mac Murray, who was habitually cast as the "good guy" gave a great performance as the morally ambiguous Walter Neff, the insurance agent, who is talked into an insurance fraud scheme that involves a murder, in this all time great noir, Double Indemnity. Wilder gave him another great role in The Apartment, sixteen years later, again a negative one, and Mac Murray once again shone in that role. Pity he did not often get meaty roles such as these.
p.s. Don't miss B Stanwyck in that blonde wig QUOTE There are some films and directors e.g. Lubitsch, that are widely admired but I just never warmed to them....but Day of the Jackal is considered a classic as obviously are Lubitsch films. When Billy Wilder and William Wyler were coming out from Lubitsch's funeral, Wilder said, "No more Lubitsch" to which Wyler answered, "Worse, no more Lubitsch films".
