Requests

requests1

Thankfully we get lots of requests for new pages.  Well…the wife recently informed me that my way of collecting my requests was pretty weak.  She seems to think that writing down requests on whatever piece of paper or napkin or bill that is currently on my desk is not the way to do it.  So….since she is way smarter than me….I have decided to create a page just for requests.  Plus it should give a good idea of what pages are coming down the pike.

My logic in picking which page to do next….I lean heavily towards the subject that has the most requests.

  • Roger Corman – request by Dan
  • Peter Cushing – request made by SteveLensman, Dan & Brando 90
  • Disney Live Action 1967-1980 – request by Mimic
  • Foreign Movies requested by Laurent
  • Samuel Goldwyn – request by Dan
  • Sam Katzman – request by Dan
  • Fritz Lang – request by Lupino, Just Me
  • Bruce Lee – request by Brando 90
  • Harold Lloyd – request by Søren, Me
  • Henry Mancini – request by Flora
  • Patricia Medina – request by Dan
  • Mirisch Brothers – request by Dan
  • Edward Small – request by Dan
  • Rudolph Valentino – request by Laurent

Completed requests:

Many more to come…have to find all of my old napkins and transfer the requests to this page.

  1. So we are finally doing the serious research on Dana Andrews. Here are the essential numbers: 104 IMDb credits….30 are tv roles, shorts and documentaries….30 are already in the UMR database….found box office information on 14 more of his movies….using the one book I brought to work…..so that leaves 30 movies to do deeper research on. So in my mind I am 71.14% done…..just in case you were wondering.

    1. Hey Brando90…I will add him to the list….good hear from you again….it has been awhile. Thanks for the suggestion.

  2. Hello bruce
    It is Never too late for to wishe you a happy and good year for 2017.
    January is not finished and in France we can go until 31.
    may i have à new request for a lady of Classic Hollywood.
    I saw DInner at eigth few years ago and i was very surprise by Marie DRESSLER especially with her scènes with HARLOW.
    Unfortunately she Died at the beginning of the thirteen.
    At that Time she was a very big star and éven got an Oscar.
    To day it seems to me that she is in shadow.
    She was in Anna Christie, 1930, and it was said that she stole the film to GARBO.

    Anyway you can add my my name too for a Dana ANDREWS page.
    Great in Laura.
    Merci et à bientôt
    Pierre

    1. Hey Pierre….and a Happy New Year to you as well. Dressler was the biggest star in Hollywood at the time of her passing…and yes indeed she is very much in the shadows….rarely does she get mentioned when people talk about great actresses of yesteryear. So are you saying you want a Dressler page or was your request Mr. Andrews…or is it both? Either way I will add them to the list of requests….Dana Andrews is getting a nice collection of requests. Thanks for the comment and the visit.

  3. Hello again,

    although I only discovered your page 3 days ago, I’d like to put in some requests if that’s ok. Could you do a page on Sylvia Sidney, who was a big star in the 30’s, a minor one in the 40’s and who came back with a bang in supporting roles in the 70’s? Also, although her time as a superstar spanned only a few years, I am really interested in the figures of Veronica Lake’s movies. Furthermore, I’d like to support the requests already made for Jane Wyman, Yvonne de Carlo, Loretta Young and Priscilla Lane. Thanks for considering!

    1. Hey Lupino……glad you discovered our pages. We have been putting out these pages since 2011….our movie pages are quickly coming to a grand total of 500….with many being classic movie subjects. As for your requests…I will add Sylvia Sidney to the request list….though her time at Paramount makes it very hard to find box office information…..but I will give it a look. As for the others….I will add your name to those requests….since you are new to the site…I will make sure my next classic page is one of the ones you suggested…..and I will give you credit for the suggestion. So look for a Wyman, de Carlo, Young (another Paramount actress) or Lane page coming real soon. Thanks for the suggestions…and thanks again for finding our pages….both are greatly appreciated.

      1. Hey Lupino….did a quick look at your suggestions….and it looks like it will be Priscilla Lane as the next UMR subject….she only had 22 movies but I have the domestic and worldwide rentals on almost all of her movies…..page should be done by the end of the night…or first thing tomorrow.
