Made in the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s. And many, many great stars to watch. Names like Gable, Grant, Cooper, Cagney and Bogart. Hepburn (both Katherine and Audrey), Bette Davis and Barbara Stanwyck. All BIG stars. But these were also the years of truly great character actors whose names may not have been as well-known but they were masters of their craft and you'd probably recognize them all as soon as you saw them. People like Thomas Mitchell, Charles Coburn, Walter Brennan and Barry Fitzgerald.

Excellent post. There are so many B actors that did an excellent job. I especially remember Barry Fitzgerald. It seems he almost always played a priest. He was in Going My Way among others wasn't he?

People like Thomas Mitchell, Charles Coburn, Walter Brennan and Barry Fitzgerald. I certainly agree.. TCM channel is a constant in our home..Love Robert Mitchum, Cagney,(own White Heat in VHS form)..Stanwyck is an awesome actress as well as a longtime bed fantasy,....Davis & Crawford,,(just watched Baby Jane 2 nights ago)..cant forget Sidney Portier,,the list goes on...

If I'm older than u Consig (with all due respect)..than I've probably had dibs on that fantasy in 1975.. How old are you? On the off chance that you are older (and I lose the "dibs") I immediately call a substitution for my fantasy - June Allyson.  June Allyson??? Mmmm...that;s off the chart..BTW I was born 5 days after J.F.K. was shot...U figure the rest out.Sometimes lands on Thanksgiving..Wasn't June Allyson the mom in Lost in Space?

Yes. Also little Michaleen Flynn in The Quiet Man. Wasn't June Allyson the mom in Lost in Space? That was June Lockhart, who was also the mom in Lassie for a long time.
