Great post! When I was scrolling down, and got to the photo with Doris, I thought "it is going to say 'the sunniest'," and I was right! Stephen really worked with so many great actresses.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget Marilyn Monroe in Bus Stop! Simply awful.
ReplyDeleteDoris and Steve look mystifyingly alike in that photo of them schnuggled up together! And, um, Yvette's hair... that DEMANDS that I see that movie asap! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHa! You were actually the first person who popped into my head when I posted that photo! It's quite the marvel of construction.
DeleteBoyd and Bardot sizzled in the 1958 Vadim film when both were at their zenith. 10 years later in the 1968 Spanish western Shalako both were past their peak and used up. But they each had 10 good years ...
ReplyDeleteThey weren´t past their peak and they weren´t used up. They were terrific in "Shalako".
DeleteI love the picture of Doris Day with Boyd. She is Tops in my estimation.
ReplyDeleteBut, I did get a Big Laugh from the comment about Raquel Welch stealing the focus from Boyd's Bulge. that was a classic. !!!
