Title: JAMES MASON Post by: Allhallowsday on October 11, 2015, 11:17:20 PM Wow. Was JAMES MASON a wonderful actor taking thankless roles or what?
I just saw parts of A STAR IS BORN which is a JUDY GARLAND flick, but JAMES MASON's tragic portrayal really carries that film and makes it still worthwhile. I watched JAMES MASON in a flick called FIVE FINGERS repeatedly, on FXM, and THAT was wonderful too. In that one he plays a spying mercenary crumb. Great British actors don't seem to have been as worried about their reputations as American actors... Title: Re: JAMES MASON Post by: Rev.

I know well about it and probably have seen those few parts I have over the years on TCM because of JAMES MASON. Title: Re: JAMES MASON Post by: alandhopewell on November 04, 2015, 05:26:03 PM My favorite James Mason role....

Title: Re: JAMES MASON Post by: The Burgomaster on November 17, 2015, 06:33:01 PM I love James Mason. JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH is one of my most-watched movies of all time. One of my favorite Mason performances is in THE VERDICT. And when I want James Mason hilarity, I watch either MANDINGO or COLD SWEAT and listen to his awful accents.
Title: Re: JAMES MASON Post by: Allhallowsday on December 09, 2015, 11:25:12 PM FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY was a two part made-for-TV movie in the early '70s if I remember right (1973). I have a copy on vhs. Haven't seen it in decades, but JAMES MASON is in there as the skunk Dr. Polidori with them SKELETAL HANDS...
