Photo Friday: Jimmy & Judy

Clip from "The Jimmy Stewart Show"

I found a real treat today! :)


Here's a rare clip from Jimmy's 1971-72 TV show The Jimmy Stewart Show.



I just love his wry sense of humor. He's just too adorable in this. I love it when he's imitating the frog! LOL! I really wish I could find complete episodes of this show. Just from watching this clip, it certainly screams for a DVD release.

With Lana Turner in Ziegfeld Girl:

Hitchcock's Birthday

Director Alfred Hitchcock would have been 110 years old today! As all of you know, he directed Jimmy in 4 movies: Rope (1948), Rear Window (1954), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), and Vertigo (1958).

To celebrate, I give you...

Jimmy directed by Hitchcock - movie trailers and a few of my favorite film clips

Rope:




Rear Window:









The Man Who Knew Too Much:




Vertigo:








He made many, many more great films besides these! Such as Shadow of A Doubt, North By Northwest, Dial 'M' For Murder, The Birds, Psycho... the list is endless! So go and watch more of his movies, because they're all marvelous!

Also, don't forget about this month's poll! It fits this post especially well. ;)

Anyway, Happy birthday, Alfred Hitchcock!

Photo Friday: 1934 portrait!

The caption on this portrait at Wikipedia says it is from 1934! Very early Jimmy!

Poll Results and A New Poll!

Hi, all! I hope you're all doing well. :) I just remembered I completely forgot to post the results for the June poll and the July TV Listings, I'm so sorry! Anyway, onto the results...

Question: Which of Jimmy's leading ladies do you think he did his best movie(s) work with?

3. Tied for last place with 0 votes was Margaret Sullavan and Kim Novak. Awww, I do adore them as Jimmy's leading ladies, and he did make some great films with them.

2. Second, came Grace Kelly with 1 vote. Rear Window is a amazing movie, and she had great chemistry with Jimmy.


1. And tied for first place is Ginger Rogers and Jean Arthur! The former being my personal favorite, (but don't worry, I only voted once!) with 2 votes each.




The poll question for the month of August is: What is your favorite Stewart/Hitchcock film?

I personally, voted for Rear Window, because I love that movie, the cast is great, and it's just really suspenseful. I love it.

Start voting! The poll closes at the end of the month. And as always feel free to leave a comment with poll suggestions. :)

Happy Birthday, Myrna Loy!

Happy birthday, Myrna!
August 2, 1905-December 14, 1993

Today is one of my very favorite actress's (and one of Jimmy's favorites, too!) birthdays! Myrna Loy would have been 104 today. I just wanted to share a few pictures to celebrate:














With Jimmy in After The Thin Man (1936).

She was marvelous, and I wish she were still around. Happy birthday, Myrna!
