I wouldn't have left anyone off this year's list. I'm a nobody, and my opinion doesn't really matter so much. If there's someone I might not particularly care for, it doesn't mean there aren't others out there who enjoy watching that person's films. If there's a day where I can't watch a SUTS honoree, I've got Watch TCM to fall back on. The only thing that's frustrating is since I subscribe to YouTube TV, some films aren't available for viewing from some internet streaming services. For instance, "Valley of the Sun" on Lucille Ball's day was not shown to me this year, and I remember seeing it a couple of times when I had a cable TV subscription. I do like the wide range of men and women showcased during SUTS. I think Ralph Meeker, James Craig, and Alan Hale have enough in their filmographies to have a day of their own. Same goes for Patricia Morison, Marsha Hunt, and Evelyn Keyes. I like your list of "lesser known" stars. Evelyn Keyes has always been a favorite actress of mine. On the old TCM board, I once listed my top twenty actresses and I think I had her at number 19. She's vastly underrated. She excelled in noir...JOHNNY O'CLOCK; MR. SOFT TOUCH; THE KILLER THAT STALKED NEW YORK; THE PROWLER and 99 RIVER STREET are notable highlights in Miss Keyes' filmography. I just saw a ridiculously young Evelyn Keyes in the charming little 1940 movie "The Lady in Question," where she plays a late teen amped up on love. She really looks young and pretty in it. Of the ones of hers I've seen, I've come to enjoy her performance in "Mr. Soft Touch" probably the most.

MIKE (1949), a romance drama set in the Canadian wilderness where she stars opposite Dick Powell. I agree it's a beautifully made film with one of her best roles, but I still prefer her performances in noir. I'd say 99 RIVER STREET is my ultimate fave.

Sinsation, these SUTS GIF montages have been great, thank you for putting them together. Just a small note, in today's Rhonda Fleming one, I think the bottom right GIF is from the movie "Home Before Dark," which Rhonda Fleming is in, but the GIF shown is of the movie's star Jean Simmons with a young Efrem Zimbalist Jr.

Like Maureen O'Hara, Rhonda Fleming's natural red hair was made for Technicolor.

It's enough to make a beagle hop on his Sopwith Camel and just take off, ay.

Deborah Kerr
12:00 am An Affair to Remember (1957)
Which is the favorite version - Dunne & Boyer or Kerr & Grant? I like Dunne better than Kerr, and Grant better than Boyer so it’s a hard decision. The songs in the remake almost ruin it for me, but Grant is just so lovely in it, especially at the end. It’s too bad Dunne’s career was over by the time the second film was made.
