A nice line-up for Mason. While it includes several old favorites (e.g., Odd Man Out, A Star Is Born), there are some movies here that I’ll be seeing for the first time (e.g., The Seventh Veil, The Sea Gull).

As a young wannabe actor, attending college in 1979, I met James Mason coming out of the stage door to the Longacre Theatre in NYC. He was appearing there in FAITH HEALER with his second wife Clarissa Kaye and the self-described "itinerant Irish actor" Donal Donnelly.
As I usually did in those days when meeting an actor I admired I said, "Mr. Mason, I'd like to work with you one day." His reply kind of stunned me... "The question my dear boy is, Can I keep working?" The play closed very soon after. It only ran about a month.
And no, I never did get to work with him. He passed away five years later.  |

I believe I read that December's SOTM will be Ava Gardner. This is fitting as December is her 100th birthday month. I live just a few miles from her childhood home in "Grabtown," although it's actually off of Grabtown Road and in a town called Smithfield. Not sure if a Grabtown community ever existed but the internet proclaims she was born in Grabtown.

Also, it seems like you've seen it, but I highly recommend "Cry Terror!" as it, IMO, is an outstanding crime drama/hostage movie with an incredible cast. |

Has TCM aired this doc? Interesting look at Mason's career from peers and the man himself.
 Wish TCM would transfer all the Mason films that get aired (especially the early villian roles) to WatchTCM. Looks like they're only keeping a certain number for the streaming service.
