OP who would YOU smash who are your Hollywood picks?

Ooooh! SOOOO many, dear anon! (Why do you think I started this blog? 😉)

Let me give you a small - well, I say small... - cross-section:

Row 1: Leslie Howard, my forever fave; Jimmy Stewart; as you can probably tell from the profile picture and header of this blog, I have a thing for Gene Kelly; I always say that the ultimate bisexual experience is watching "High Society" and not knowing whether you fancy Grace Kelly or Bing Crosby (that voice!) more, so there they both are; and to finish out the first row we have the gorgeous Jane Russell.

Row 2: Starting off with the dangerously flirty Robert Hardy; following it up with the four great hellraisers Richard Burton; Peter O'Toole; Richard Harris and Oliver Reed; and a woman who's starred with all four, Vanessa Redgrave.

Row 3: Sid James, the man with the filthiest laugh in films; the delicious Ava Gardner; the "Sound of Music" couple that wasn't to be Christopher Plummer and Eleanor Parker; the divine Alain Delon; and another great Frenchman, Serge Gainsbourg.

Row 4: The Swedish row: Harriet Andersson; the brilliant director Ingmar Bergman, this man's understanding of women is truly remarkable; Max von Sydow; Georg Funkquist, one of Sweden's great character actors; Jarl Kulle my beloved; Eva Dahlbeck.

Row 5: The Norwegian row: Anne-Lise Tangstad; Rolf Søder, the man with a laugh that nearly rivals Sid James's; Per Sunderland who has a voice that does things to me; Knut Wigert who is one of the most sensual men I've ever come across; Arne Aas; Ingerid Vardund.

Row 6: Jack Nicholson, he always had it never lost it; Ann-Margret; Robert Redford, I saw him in "The Great Gatsby" when I was 12 and that was it; Alan Bates, we love a bisexual king!; David Hemmings; Anna Quayle.

Thank you for such a fun question!

"Ung flukt" (1960) - Edith Carlmar

Films I've watched in 2023 (28/119)

Feature film debut of Liv Ullmann.

Why is it that so often in these "bad girl leads boy from good family astray" films the boy in question is such an annoying, jealous little bitch?

That's not to say I didn't like it, it was good. Liv Ullman is very good, and Rolf Søder is excellent as a man that comes into the life of the young lovers and stirs things up.

Full film on Archive.org (with an English subtitle file).

"I slik en natt" (1958) - Sigval Maartman-Moe

Films I've watched in 2023 (26/119)

Based on a true story. In November 1942 in Nazi occupied Norway, a group of Jewish refugee children are in danger, and a young doctor (Anne-Lise Tangstad) tries to save them from the Germans. After a few nerve-wracking weeks in hiding - spent at the house of the doctor's old uncle, with him and his old housekeeper - they engage in a dramatic escape to Sweden.

Full film (the picture quality isn't very good and it's in Norwegian without subtitles, but if those aren't obstacles for you, I can recommend it):
