I have had the pleasure to have viewed many of your videos and always come away enlighten and entertain. Thank you for the time and effort you have put in to this work.
The Keeper of the Flame was shelved due to the war. The first time I saw it was last year. It's interesting to note that what they discuss in the last 20 minutes is what we are experiencing today.
Yes, the Biden/Harris administration and its Hollywood and Silicon Valley allies has done everything it could to suppress free speech. Three days from now, we Americans have a chance to say a firm "NO!" to the continuation of this fascism.
Love the channel, and I'm glad that there are more subscribers. 31:56 "...gathered his strength for one last film with Stanley Kramer (It's a Mad x 4 World); 36:54 "1967...Tracy surprisingly agreed to appear in Stanley Kramer's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
Another fine presentation about another tormented soul; there seems to be a lot of them in the acting sphere. I have never been the biggest Spencer Tracy fan but one cannot deny the power of the man in many of his film roles and the range he had. I recollect 'Boys Town' as probably being the first film I ever saw him in, playing a priest when he was actually a bit of a devil, what a dichotomy. Straying off topic for a moment (sorry) I just caught your latest 'comment guidelines'. Nice... and amusing! I have been busy writing my poetry, concentrating on self creation but lovely to hear a familiar voice, again ✨
👍Ditto, both probably were, but it isn't that unusual, quite a few marriages have been just that, and they work things out, don't fight, and lead normal lives and raise decent kids. It's really nobody's business, but info like that in the 30s-40s even until lately would have had a negative impact on their lives as public figures and their careers, playing it straight as believable characters.... IMHO

It seems the battle against fascism never ends.

Absolutely fascinating and so well researched. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Please do a video on George Sanders.
I'm surprised that Inherit The Wind wasn't mentioned because it was such a great film that also stared Frederick March!

This is great! It’s so lovely to watch these episodes! I’m hoping a Kathrine Hepburn one isn’t far behind! Such a complex man. Amazing actor as well.
Thank you! And yes, we will absolutely get to her one day
Another great video! One slight correction; the title of the movie wasn’t “Turkey Flat; it was “Tortilla Flat.”
Thanks - the spellcheck demon really caught us out there! Correcting it now...
This may sound trivial, but at one point you showed a picture with his signature. I found it very interesting. Good show
Yes I thought that picture was fascinating too - thanks for noticing!
So, his son is deaf but it's all about him. That makes sense for someone who is a narcissist.
Fine biography of Spencer Tracy. I just ordered the book about his life from your channel. I love the biographies you present.
HM, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos.
Thank you, we are so happy that you do!
"Tortilla Flat"
Please do John Garfield, Jeanette MacDonald, Gene Raymond
Can you please do George Raft
Where is "Pat and Mike"?
I ❤️Spencer Tracy! His movies, I mean. His behavior & infidelities?? Not so much. 😂
Wonder if he had bipolar?
Yes, forgot "Inherit the Wind", need edit In
According to the headlines I read that he was tied to his bed and was screaming, i saw nothing of that in the actual video. What the heck.
He remained true to his ethnic roots.
what?
"Turkey" flat' what tha heck?
Alcohol withdrawal explains what the thumbnail outlines...it's even worse than many know but hey 🎉 whatever
I really like their movie Bookends. I find the claims that thay were both gay

This guy was very overrated as an actor. I never thought he was that good; I've seen better ones!🫤
