Love Me Tonight | All About Eve


Hello Movie people, I thought this month it would be fun to have great character actors in film.  These are actors that you might not remember their name but you hear their voice and see their face and you say oh yes I have seen that guy before.  First on the list is Charlie Ruggles in Love Me Tonight, it is about a tailor who pretends to be a nobleman falling in love with a princess.  It has Rodgers and Hart songs and Maurice Chavalier and my personal favorite Myrna Loy.  One more thing people might not know he did the narrartion voice in the fractured fairy tale in my favorite Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoons   ( the cartoon has adult humor and goes over childrens head highly recommended  you will get it
Second on my list is George Sanders in All About Eve he plays a notorious talent agent .  It is about an aging actress and a woman who is a fan and she starts to manipulate herself into the actresses life.  Famous line is Fasten your seatbelt it is going to be a bumpy night.  It won six academy awards including best picture.  George Sanders was married to one of the Gabor sisters and when he said he had had enough of life he killed himself leaving a note that said he was tired of living, goodbye world .  Angela and Arthur will host the dinner this month on Thursday 1/9 at 6:30 to discuss the December movies Gigi and Joyeaux Noel.  Please RSVP to Angela at seascapes@roadrunner.com.  Movielynne
