I seriously love Jack Carson

I've always liked Jack Carson.
Which reminds me.
How about a Jack Carson & Dennis Morgan box set.
They made some really enjoyable movies together.

Doug.

I love "It's a Great Feeling" with Carson and Morgan (and Doris Day!), a very fun "backstage at Warner Brothers" film. This is my favourite number with them, "There's Nothin' Rougher Than Love"...

Jack Carson was a major talent, seriously unrecognised, grossly underrated. His range was far wider than most people realise. Just compare his work in A Star Is Born (1954) with, for example, his performance in Arsenic And Old Lace. Compare his acting in The Tarnished Angels with his acting in Shine On Harvest Moon. And never overlook that duet he had with Jane Wyman in Hollywood Canteen on the number What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? (No, not the song Michel LeGrand wrote for The Happy Ending)

You left out my favorite Carson performance, the mercenary yet strangely likable Wally Fay of MILDRED PIERCE

Now come on what about A STAR IS BORN and THE HUMOR MAN. He showed off is drama and comedy talents.

Listen, YOU!!! I love him in most everything (though I have to admit I've never seen HUMOR MAN) but his Wally Fay (in which he shows off both of those things, too) just happens to be my favorite.

That's it, Hollis, I've had it with you....I'm leaving, too!! To misquote Tootie Smith, "You're the most horrible."

You need to see Good Humor Man. I keep hoping Sony will do an MOD of it for it is a funny film with Carson showing humor and warmth. I really enjoy Jack Carson's talent but I find it fun to taunt him some because he is so under recognized as the talent he is that his true fans come and guess what, we have a discussion about him and his films. Oh and the Jack Carson remark was not directed at you Will , so please don't leave the thread.

 

[Matt Hough]

I do think he was criminally underrated in A Star Is Born. I think he deserved an Oscar nomination.

 

[Danny Burk]

Back to Eugene P for a moment, he's also the murder victim in the silent version of CHICAGO (1927)! A sensational film and available on DVD from Flicker Alley, for those who haven't seen it....

Touche, my friend, touche!

What is this thread about again?

 

[ROclockCK]

...marking time until there's an actual announcement?

 

[ahollis]

What is this thread about again?

. MY FAIR LADY, Marni Nixon, Audrey Hepburn, Oh and Jack Carson among others. I guess it did get off topic. Ouch.

The wonderful thing about HTF is that the vast majority of members are passionate lovers of film.

The fact that threads often go off subject can sometimes be both enthralling, at times highly instructive and nearly always entertaining.
I personally love these slight detours and most happily embrace the humour and knowledge of fellow members.

In most cases the threads return to the original subject anyway, but in-between we mostly have a lot of fun, we get to know each other and we all learn something we didn't know before.

That's my take, anyway.
Now back to My Fair Lady 4K.

Doug.

And then there's Lionel Stander...

 

[ahollis]

And then there's Lionel Stander...

Mercy absolutely.

 

[bujaki]

Lionel Stander...outstanding in the '37 version of A Star Is Born, playing the role Jack Carson played in '54. Do all roads lead to Jack Carson?

 

[ROclockCK]

...as in '236 degrees of Jack Carson'???
