She's Scottish you know.


Legend that the lassie is!

No. I didn't know that.
Any favorite films of hers that you enjoy? For me, here are a few in no particular order....
The Chalk Garden
From Here to Eternity (Of course, that film belonged to that entire cast!)
The Innocents
Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison

Black Narcissus is by far my favourite of her (I think I have a nun kink or something MMC, a latent one not an active one).

From Here to Eternity is a corker and well deserving of the praise it got and gets.

The End of the Affair seems mostly to be a British thing, I find it extraordinary but not many know it overseas.

An Affair to Remember is the classic that inspired countless Empire State Building moments (Also Dream Wife with Cary and Deborah from a few years before has good chemistry)

The Innocents put actual good horror on the market and there's no many, many more movies of hers which are proper pearls of perfection.

The list just goes on and on Margo.

Hopefully more people will discuss her and her movies now 🙂

I had forgotten An Affair to remember! How does one forget that?
Actually, I thought it was King Kong who started that whole Empire State building thing. 😳
Seriously though, she is a fine actress.. There is a dignity and grace about her. She's a real lady.
I'm glad that you woke up this board. I have tried discussing The Innocents on that board. Not many takers...

We've got enough fans of horror around here. I think they might just need to know that The Innocents certainly falls into that category MMC 🙂

Tea and Sympathy is one of my favorite movies of all time and really turned me into a fan.

I would say An Affair to Remember is my second favorite of her movies. Also like The Innocents, King and I, and Prisoner of Zenda.

I have to say "Quo Vadis", since I don't believe that I have seen her in anything else (and nobody else has mentioned it yet).

reply

Aye.

You can't get better than Black Narcissus or her performance (in three roles) in The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp

The King And I - since it hasn't already been mentioned in this thread.

reply

Yes -- she famously hated that she was always portrayed as an English rose.

Other than her cameo in Casino Royale (1967), did she ever get to use her Scottish accent in a film? I don't recall hearing her do so, although I may be forgetting something.

So was Ian Brady
