just saw this thanks for pointing it out as not seen the film for a while and only remembered Alan Ladd.

Did You Know?

Bing Crosby's cameo in My Favorite Brunette - Bob Hope and Bing Crosby had an arraingement to do cameos in each other's movies, however, Bing had already done a cameo in Bob's last movie, so it wasn't Bing's turn. Bob wanted Bing to do this cameo so badly that bob offered to pay bing $5000. which Bing donated to charity. Bing Crosby walked on set, skipped makeup, ( already made up from another movie he was shooting on the lot), stopped at wardrobe, (which consisted of donning a prison guard shirt), and did his bit in one take, leaving the soundstage in just 5 minutes, making a Hollywood record for the most money per minute payed to an actor.

Well how about that! Rebecca is one of my fave films (not movies) I have the CD and have watched the film several times but I've never noticed Hitchcock...

The next time I watch it I'll pay more attention to the scenes with George Sanders... on the phone you say...

PS, wasn't George Sanders the best baddie ever?

I recently bought a box set of Terry Thomas films, one of the films is "Brothers in Arms" a good film but hardly a Terry Thomas film, the central characters are Ian Carmichael and Dicky Attenborough, Terry Thomas plays what is essentially a cameo roll of no more than a couple of minutes towards the end of the film.

George Sanders was unique, one of the most hated men in films, wasnt he. he committed suiced saying he was bored of life or words to that effect.

Where did you get that from? GS was extremely popular with his peers. He did commit suicide leaving a note to that effect.

Donna will probably know this one. In It’s a Great Feeling Doris Day plays a waitress trying to break into films. To this end she assisted by Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan and several stars under contract to Warner Bros at that time. Doris worries throughout the film whether she would be better off back in her home town married to fiancé Jeffrey Bushdinkle. When the identity of Jeffrey is revealed at the end of the film, we know why!

Incidentally the term ‘cameo’ was coined for the Mike Todd production of Around the World in 80 Days

Hattie Jaques made a very brief appearance as a fortune teller in Hanclocks Punch and Judy Man.

How about Spike Milligan popping up in "Life of Brian." and the "Love thy Neighbour spinoff and also Frankie Howard in the Ladykillers.
