Any Peter Lawford Recommendations?


I love Peter Lawford. His voice is mmm mmm good. But I haven't seen him in much. I've watched Little Women, Royal Wedding, and Easter Parade. What other popular movies was he in around that time? I know IMDB has the entire list, but I wanted to see what people recommended.

"Good News" and "Julia Misbehaves"

Ocean's Eleven

Elvis is DEAD

I highly recommend 'It Should Happen to You'...Peter is so cute in that picture. And, Judy Holliday is very funny as well.

One I DON'T recommend: DEAD RINGER, where he's done in by a Great Dane!

reply

And one that I DON'T recommend is "The Christine Keller & Mandy Rice Davies affair.
Real life not a movie.He was up to his neck in that.Check it out!!!

But I love "Dead Ringer". I adore Bette Davis, and the film is pure camp.

Paul Henreid directed it, and I love him.

I would suggest "White Cliffs of Dover." One might question whether the young man Lawford portrays dies of war wounds at the end or just drifts off to sleep in the hospital and later recovers. It is a bittersweet film.

Other films are "On an Island with You" and "Harlow." I also remember Lawford's portrayal as Doris Day's gentleman friend, a physician, on "The Doris Day Show," a TV series.

Also "Son of Lassie". He goes to war in Norway with Lassie. And you will notice, as in "White Cliffs of Dover", the character, as a boy is played by Roddy McDowel and Lawford plays the adult. AND Elizabeth Taylor plays the female love interest as a girl and June Lockhart plays her as an adult in both movies!
