the 1950's started a new era in the style of acting that would become common place. James Dean, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor were central to this transition. Here are five jaw-dropping (spell checked) scenes that are as emotional and breathtaking now as they ever were.
0:01: East of Eden - James Dean
2:19: A Place in the Sun
3:19 A Street Car Named Desire
6:17 A Roman holiday
8:25 Cat on the Hot Tin Roof

Newman tells a great story about rehearsing Cat with Taylor, and feeling that she simply “wasn’t there, not doing anything, not giving him anything, etc”, such that he went to the director(Elia Kazan) to voice his concerns, and Kazan simply smiled and said “don’t worry, she will be”. Then when they began filming, Newman said she came alive like a thousand watt bulb, and he realized he’d better find his “A game” very quickly. A true film star, Taylor was….and a great actress….🙏🎭❤️

Worth watching: The Young Lions 1958, where Brando brilliantly performs in a German accent and is quite convincing as a German ski instructor, not very political but following the crowd in thinking maybe Hitler will reinvigorate Germany or some such thing. Gets drafted into the army, and we follow his evolution in war. Also Montgomery Clift as a Jewish draftee who experiences antisemitism in the US army, and Dean Martin, his unmotivated friend trying to dodge the draft.

Yes! When I replied to the lady above, the other movie that I had in mind was that one. So magnificent that it told of the horror of things without ever having to SHOW those awful events - (ie: the truth of the events (the pedophilia, the murdering, poor Elizabeth’s perilous existence in family, and Katherine Hepburns experience where she was forced to get out of her fantasy world and see the tougher side of life)- because you got it in your guts how bad those things are by the actresses melodramatically showing how those things affected them emotionally. That was how they managed to give you everything without showing evil acts directly. Which, when you think about it, is a better deal than just showing vicious acts. Apart from the majesty of actors and actresses who are given such a task

His car crash was after leaving Taylor's house. She was 1st person to reach him, as he was choking on his teeth she got into his mouth and pulled them all out. I don't know if the story is true but it's lasted. She's not just a beautiful actress she's a truly brave and caring woman. She started fighting for Aids/HIV charity as another good friend Rock Hudson was dying. She's a spectacular woman. I could only dream of being as brave as her. Monty Cliff's face was supposedly messed badly. "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe." She's brilliant. All dowdy and nasty. Lots underestimated her as an actress because of her beauty. More fools them. But running into that mangled car to help her friend is why I think she's an amazing human.

I was 10 years old when JAMES DEAN died. I saw all of his films and was awestruck. He would have even surpassed BRANDO as a God, I think. He never had the time. CLIFT was a God. He was also a new breed of actor. One that could actually change from character to character. Unlike say a John Wayne who was always the same in everything he did. All he ever did was change costumes. BRANDO was also the new breed of actor. He could adapt to any character. These talents were rarified. This level of acting was unheard of until they appeared on the screen. PECK and NEWMAN were great. To me, BURTON, O'TOOLE and HOPKINS are again another breed. No one can outdo them.

This play is brilliant - absolutely unique. Vivian Leigh inhabits Blanch. She’s like delicate lace, so fragile. A beautiful portrayal. Brando is Brando - you can’t separate himself from the part he’s playing, but he is the character he’s become - even in Apocalypse Now. (Of course, Coppola and his cinematographer did an incredible, artful scene in how they lighted and shot the scene, but Brando makes the scene.) James Dean - no words. . . One of my most treasured films. It stands by itself - can’t compare it. 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏽‍♂️ Everyone was superb in this - Julie Harris, one of the most talented actresses ever (like Lili Taylor, who is brilliant). 🌼🌷🌱 Paul Newman was a really good actor. He was the character in this with no flourishes, but he’s definitely a presence. And Elizabeth Taylor was herself - an actress so brilliant. It’s hard to judge her as an actress because she also is such a presence, so herself, but also the part. I wonder if she ever played a quiet, shy, dowdy character? Thank you so, so much. When movies were cinema - just the characters, the actors - no incredible scenery, no car chases - just the play. And the films shot in black & white work so well. (Metropolis would be ruined by color, as would the German Dracula and Dr. Caligari’s Cabinet.) Great scenes - thanks again. 🎬🎭🌷🌱

One of the most intense movies from the 1950s is “the bad seed”. When the mother discovers the little girl has been murdering people and murdered a little boy and she said “you hit him with your shoes didn’t you, hit him with your shoes” too intense for words. And then later, on, when the little girl is telling the gardener, “give me back my shoes”. You know, right then his days were numbered. That is such an incredibly intense movie. When someone from Hollywood went to Broadway and saw the play, they knew that no one else would be as good so they just hired the whole cast and filmed the play as a movie with just some slight changes. Even today, many people regard Rhoda as the most evil of all evil screen children.

All fantastic performances. Had to watch it twice to catch them all as you miss the female leads when dazzeled by the initial focus on the male leaads. Blance's desire and confusion when confronted by Brando, Taylor's wonderful reactions while Clift's on the phone and Hepburn charmingly learning about pyjamas! Last summer I was lucky enough to see Roman Holiday in glowing black and white in Bologna's Piazza Maggiore. Just magic. Of the male leads Clift is still sublime. I need to revisit some old movies. The Big Sleep first!

James Dean was doing Monty Clift but I didn't realize it because I saw JD first. When I finally saw Monty -- his films were harder to come by -- I realized how much Dean owed him. Brando always claimed Dean was imitating him, but I think the link between Dean and Clift is stronger. I think Monty might have been the most naturally gifted actor of the three; and the most tortured. Arguably the most breathtakingly handsome as well, although young Brando would be a close second. I loved Jimmy first, but Montgomery Clift had the greater range, I think. Maybe not fair to compare since Dean died so young and only completed 3 films. Gregory Peck is always great but had I thought a more traditional acting style. Hepburn too. Elizabeth Taylor's beauty often overshadowed her talent. But I always loved how she loved -- and was loved in return by -- both Clift and Dean. Neither of whom were particularly easy people to be around if you believe what you read in bios.
