Re: Crossed Swords Film Festival/Park Ridge IL (NW Chicago suburb)

Wow, lucky you Melody! It's always a treat to see these on the big screen. Are you going to any of them?

Re: Crossed Swords Film Festival/Park Ridge IL (NW Chicago suburb)

I'll try to do whatever I can--I was very happy to see Ty remembered and included with good commentary on both movies.

Another note--The Robe

The Robe was on TCM last night and Robert Osborne did note that Ty was first to have the part offered to him by Zanuck, but I didn't know that RKO originally owed the rights and was going to use Gregory Peck as Tribune Gallio.

As I watched the movie, I kept thinking of Ty in it--still believe that he and Jean Simmons with their dark coloring would have made a great couple on screen. Well, I do understand where Ty was in his career at that time. Being on stage and being respected meant very much to him.
