I guess there’s no need to go into my love of Kirk Douglas flicks. They’ve been with me since childhood and I’ve featured him here numerous times over the past 3 plus years.
Here’s a look into the vault at some of my classic one sheets and a link to follow for all the movies starring Kirk I’ve featured here. Feel free to have look.
Deserving a pic of it’s own is this classic one sheet.
And of course, getting my mug into a shot from an earlier post.
Lobby Cards? Yes I’ve plenty of those too but then we’d be here all day. A couple examples? Sure.
That’s three isn’t it? Anyway, these borrowed images and a number of other classic lobbies are stored away here somewhere.
Happy Birthday Mr. Douglas.









What, no Saturn 3 poster in your stash? Then again, that kind of wasn’t a good Kirk flick…
Not yet anyway. Still if I come across it or Scalawag, I’ll grab it.
A really nice tribute here for Kirk’s 101st – excellent.
Kind of a last minute thing but the good intentions were there.
Kirk is a living legend! Nice tribute to him on his special day.
That he is. Might have to watch a good ole Kirk flick today.
I should like to call your attention to Kirk’s brilliant performance in: ‘A Letter To Three Wives’ (1949). Note the scene in which he puts his wife’s dreadful employer (Florence Bates) in her place, with his devastating criticism of broadcast advertising, and the rubbish it purveys. The film – although not true to the book – is excellent, but when one thinks of it, one’s mind always returns to this scene.
I remember seeing this years ago but recall so little about it other than the a couple clips including this one. I guess I’m long over due for a rewatch.
I should like to call your attention to Kirk’s brilliant performance in: ‘A Letter To Three Wives’ (1949). Quite the best scene in an excellent film – which nevertheless loses much in avoiding the complications of the book – takes place during the dinner party given by Kirk’s wife, Ann Sothern for the dreadful woman who employs her, where Kirk tells the latter what he thinks of advertising agencies like hers, and the broadcast rubbish they purvey.
No way what is “The Light at the Edge of the World”!!! What a brilliant poster. I need to investigate that sharpish.
The Brotherhood looks interesting too.
Nice post dude. Great collection of Kirks.
Light at Edge of World one of those cases where the cast and poster are better than the outcome but still, Kirk VS. Yul always worth a look. Brotherhood the famous mafia film that bombed causing the studios to have no faith in Godfather.
Happy Belated Birthday to Mr Douglas! He’s looking mighty fine at 101.
Forever young in our hearts.
