The first time I saw Joseph Cotten was as a kid in "Hush, Hush sweet Charlotte" and he scared me to pieces. It took me years to be able to just look at him again! However, I've seen grown and now appreciate what a truly fine actor he was.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-11972756394036424352017-05-16T21:05:10.814-04:002017-05-16T21:05:10.814-04:00John, I liked Cotten in NIAGARA, but especially in...John, I liked Cotten in NIAGARA, but especially in THE MAN IN THE CLOAK.<br /><br />Welcome, Tampa Bay Gal!

My favorite Joseph Cotton role is, no doubt, Jedediah Leland in Citizen Kane, a perfect complement to Orson Welles, as he is in all movies they were in together. Doesn't matter who stars in a movie with Bette Davis, she always makes them shine. She still shines above them but it's as if she's directing them to bring out their best.<br />Tampa Bay Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734452269383049452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-56256021485012282542017-05-16T15:57:03.482-04:002017-05-16T15:57:03.482-04:00Ann Blyth?

Seriously, since reading your book, I have been on the hunt for films with Ms. Blyth and have managed to catch a few. Wright does not seem to get the attention she deserves. For me, Joseph C. Is always at his best when he plays dark roles like in Niagara and Shadow of a Doubt. Wallace Ford and Paul Lukas were nice surprises.John/24Frameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719659042858962026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-9329327319097392842017-05-16T15:51:32.085-04:002017-05-16T15:51:32.085-04:00Brittaney, your mention of warmth and compassion i...Brittaney, your mention of warmth and compassion is probably the attributes of Teresa Wright's screen presence that appeals to so many people.<br /><br />Thanks Aurora, and Christian.

I love how you wrote about her screenshots being so much more beautiful than her posed publicity photos, an excellent observation and so true. She was a gem. I also like your selection of Joseph Cotten and Paul Lukas.

I agree that it is a very difficult thing to narrow down one's favorites to only five. I'm sure we all have at least 50 we could name. Looking forward to reading your choices as well!Jacqueline T.

I love your selection of Teresa Wright. I would adore her if she had done nothing but SHADOW OF A DOUBT. In a film of excellent performances, hers is the key one. The expression on her face when she beings to doubt Uncle Charlie is not easily forgotten. Joseph Cotten is another great choice (and has been on several lists today). He was a versatile star as evidenced by the movies you listed (my fave being PORTRAIT OF JENNIE).Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349044339283806490noreply@blogger.com
