Re: "With A Song in My Heart"

Ah, you two, I really loved Rory Calhoun in that film.. LOL

Different strokes for different folks...

I loved Robert Wagner too...my goodness he was beautiful, a real looker. He was so memorable in the film considering the short amount of film time that he had.

Now, that Rory Calhoun was a handsome pilot.. ha

P.S. I was so disappointed when just a few years ago I learned that Clancy was not a real person, but a character formed from a combination of nurses and/or people who helped Jane.

HA...HA!!! Ginger....You know 'US'..(Jill and I)..find some of those leading men she had..a little 'odd'..>But will admit Rory Calhoun was handsome and not as bad choices as Lee Bowman and (another one)..James Mason. Mason...just didn't seem to have any 'spark' opposite Susan...(and I have already said how much I find this just a 'wrong film' for either of them, since they were both too good of actors to be doing this Broadway-turned-movie...that deflated like a balloon with a large hole in it!

But..like you said...'different strokes...for different people.'...

Re: "With A Song in My Heart"

I have to leap to the defence of the beautiful Rory Calhoun - I agree with you Ginger - just so handsome and a lovely man - has to be to be so open in his admiration of Susan. I thought he was great in the part of John Burn and of course, With a Song in My Heart is always up there on my top 5 list of Susan's films. However, I disagree with Robert Wagner - not that cute in my opinion! Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder!

One person I also admired from the first time I saw him was Chuck Connors - so much so that the man I married was a "look-alike!" Strangely enough, Susan admired him too as she mentioned she liked him when she was on the Joey Bishop show.

Another beautiful man was JESS BARKER - I could quite see what Susan saw in him - so very attractive - and so very LOYAL. Just think about all we have read - he was tight mouthed once the divorce was over and never said anything against Susan when he could probably have said quite a lot. It would have been brilliant to have seen Jess and Susan opposite each other - particularly in CANYON PASSAGE when he read for the Dana Andrews part. Maybe things could have been different for him and particularly for their marriage if he had played that part. There is no re-writing history and I am just content to have my collection of the wonderful Susan films to view at my leisure. I thank God for bringing her into my life!
