3 things about Anthony Mann’s BEND OF THE RIVER [1952]

1. The relative softness and hardness of biscuits.
2. Knife flashing in the light.
3. Vicious water fight.

Tonight in 1961 — #WilliamWyler presented an Honorary Oscar to #GaryCooper at the 33rd Academy Awards.

“His style is movie acting at its very best.”

#JimmyStewart accepted for Cooper, who died a month later at age 60.

Ran across this gem that I had posted 'elsewhere' years ago. Jimmy Stewart meets characters from Stanley Kubrick movies.

Tonight in 1972 — HARVEY debuted on NBC’s “Hallmark Hall of Fame.”

#JimmyStewart returned as Elwood P. Dowd — a role he played in the 1950 film and on Broadway in 1947 and in the 1970 revival.

🎬 x 📷 Watching "Vertigo" (1958) @ #TCM, a favorite #Hitchcock movie because it's set in #SanFrancisco, my home for 20 years.

In one scene, #JimmyStewart follows #KimNovak to the #MissionDolores cemetery and the grave of "Carlotta Valdes."

When I assisted the Directors @ "The Celluloid Closet," our offices were across the street, and I lived a block away on Guerrero. #TheMission.

In 1992, I shot this rose in that tiny cemetery, 35 years after Hitchcock filmed there.

Wednesday afternoon with a movie that requires frequent rewatching, I yelped, “Yes!” when I saw it was on TCM’s On Demand list. With Jimmy Stewart in one of his finest roles, “Harvey” always brings a smile.

Staring Jimmy Stewart, Robert Ryan and Janet Leigh.

January 31st- Something unbelievable happens

Harvey (1950)
Directed by Henry Koster

Gentle, good-natured Elwood P. Dowd's best friend Harvey is a bit unusual, being as Harvey is a six-foot tall rabbit that only some people can see. It turns out that Elwood, who is generally regarded as not all there, may be saner and wiser than others around him.

Jimmy Stewart and Frank Morgan in “The Stratton Story” (1949) — an inspirational real-life baseball story. A big hit at the time, my impression (perhaps incorrect) is that it is mostly neglected today in discussions of old sports movies.

I was so surprised by James Stewart's character's version of grace in the movie "Shenandoah" that I had to go back and listen to it twice more.

Of course I’ve seen it many times, but I hadn’t watched IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE beginning to end in years. Wow it just knocked me over like the first time. I don’t think there’s ever been a greater American screen actor than James Stewart. #frankcapra #jimmystewart #itsawonderfullife

Frank Capra's holiday classic ‘It's a Wonderful Life’ starring Jimmy Stewart premiered at the Globe Theatre, New York on 20 December 1946. Based on Philip Van Doren Stern’s ‘The Greatest Gift’, which itself was inspired by ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens. In 1947, an FBI memo accused the film of attempting to discredit bankers and portray the upper class in a negative light, claiming it was a common trick used by Communists. #ItsaWonderfulLife #FrankCapra #JimmyStewart #FBI #Communists

One of my favorite #ChristmasMovies is "Bell Book & Candle" from 1958. This delightful holiday romp has a stellar cast and was based on a Broadway play from 1950, and the inspiration for the TV show "Bewitched". The movie focuses on witches living in Greenwich Village, and #JimmyStewart plays the object of witch Gillian's (Kim Novak's) attention. #Witches #Film #Films

Tried searching for #JimmyStewart. Couldn't find him?

@ruralgloom one of my very favorite movies. I also love the oh so smart vs oh so pleasant quote. That one really hits home. Totally me. “For years I was smart; I recommend pleasant” #Harvey #JimmyStewart
