Hi, Bruce.
I love Angela. I saw 21 of the films listed on Steve’s video. I have seen 28 movies on your table.
I notice that The Manchurian Candidate is at 10 on your table but was 1 on Steve’s video.
My favourite Angela Lansbury films are
Gaslight
The Manchurian Candidate
The Picture of Dorian Gray
The Court Jester
Dear Heart
Death on the Nile
I saw 21 of the top 30 movies from Steve’s video. I have seen 28 total. I notice that Manchurian Candidate is at 10 on your site and number 1 on Steve’s.
As I said to Steve, my favourites are:
Gaslight
The Manchurian Candidate
The Picture of Dorian Gray
The Court Jester
Dear Heart
Death on the Nile
Hey Flora….tally count Flora 28, me 18 and little Stevie at 14. If you sort my table by reviews then Manchuria moves to first here as well….in the UMR score the box office grosses Hurt the overall score of that movie….still a Top 10 UMR score is pretty good.
I have seen and liked 4 of your favorites….I have not seen Dorian Gray….and before doing this page I had not even heard of Dear Heart…..I will have to check that one out….thanks for checking out our latest page.
1 STEVE There has been discussion about how TV resurrected Howard Keel’s acting career after the decline of the Hollywood musical, but it was in television that Angela Lansbury actually largely came into her own. Although she made many movies they were mainly in supporting roles [albeit very strong ones at times and often with equal billing to the main stars] with her Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple in the 1980 The Mirror’Cracked being one exception where she was the star. I enjoyed her most on the big screen as one of Dorian’s victims in the 1945 Picture of Dorian Gray and as Randy Scott’s leading lady in one my my all time favourite B westerns the 1955 A Lawless Street. I can’t remember her in Samsom and Delilah though Bruce obviously can! She was quite prolific on TV but really big fame there came with the unusual 12 season run of Murder She Wrote from 1984 until 1996. I watch reruns of it all the time. In that series things came full circle with a Dan-like vengeance because Hurd Hatfield who had played the lead role of her Dorian over 40 years earlier had small supporting roles in 3 of Angela’s detective episodes.
2 Certainly your pictorials do full justice to Angela’s cinematic career and the video overall merits a high 96% rating. Great POSTERS were The Last Unicorn, Nanny McPhee, Anastasia, The Dark at the Top of the Stairs, Dear Heart and Please Murder Me with Angela in a rare top billed role and co-starring another great TV icon Raymond Burr of Perry Mason and Ironside. Superb STILLS were Bedknobs and Broomsticks, the solo of the gorgeous young Angela, her again looking ravishing with Big Vic, with Hurd as Dorian, and Angela in National Velvet with its main female star Liz Taylor, that movie again proving that “what goes around comes around” for 35 years later Liz SUPPORTED Angela in The Mirror Crack’d. Despite allowing Angela to pirate Hedy Lamarr’s films Bruce has not given us a Lansbury page but as usual covers things elsewhere in relation to your Top 5 to which he awards an average 83.8% rating compared with your own very close 84.6% for the same 5. All in all you have provided a highly satisfying comprehensive profile of Angela’s remarkable big screen career as a character actress.
PS I loved the tagline on your Randy Scott poster HE HAD MORE ENEMIES THAN BULLETS!
Hi Bob, thanks for the review, generous rating, info, trivia, appraisal, evaluation, comment and comparison, always appreciated. Glad you liked the stills and posters.
From your post I deduce that you’re a big fan of Dame Angela, I think Flora is too, or was she more of a Columbo fan? wait a sec… I think you’re the Columbo fan.
Lansbury has been mentioned in these hallowed pages quite a few times, so I assumed Bruce had a full-blown stats-filled page on her. He doesn’t. [cue gasps] Well Bruce can’t be everywhere at once, he’s a busy man. I’m sure he’ll get round to her eventually, hopefully while she’s still alive. [ooh that’s cold Steve] ?
When I was young I knew Lansbury mostly from Bedknobs and Broomsticks, an underrrated musical fantasy from the Walt Disney studios. Years later I was shocked to see her portray evil in The Manchurian Candidate ordering her brainwashed son to commit murder.
Btw the actor playing her son in that film, Laurence Harvey, was only 3 years younger than her. That can’t have been very flattering for the actress, but it was a juicy role and she was excellent. Ernest Borgnine played Kirk Douglas father in The Vikings, and he was a couple of months younger than Douglas!
Angie has 4 films scoring 10 out of 10 from my sources – National Velvet, The Court Jester, Beauty and the Beast and The Manchurian Candidate. And 4 other films scoring 9. Not bad for an actress now more famous for her TV work.
1 I’m a big fan of most of the best detective series on TV – Poirot, Miss Marple, Columbo, Perry Mason, Ironside, Matlock, Jessica Fletcher [Angela] Quincy and Dr Mark Sloan [Dick Van Dyke in Diagnosis Murder]. I used to like Sherlock Holmes but find it rather dated now. I know Mason and Matlock are lawyers and Quincy is a coroner but it is virtually obligatory now for the hero/heroine of any crime series to be at the very least an amateur sleuth as Dr Sloan is.
2 Bruce doesn’t need a stats page for Angela – he simply gives her everybody else’s stats.Even Myrna didn’t get elevated to the level of being credited with playing Delilah! At least where Angela is concerned Bruce and I are on the same side.
3 Yes Bedknobs and Broomsticks has always been underrated and I picked your still from it because of the wonderful flying scene that the still illustrated. David Tomlinson was excellent in the sort of “silly twit” role that Ian Carmichael used to specialise in. In fact no other nation can play the “silly twit” as well as the English perhaps because most of them are silly twits[sound of computer being smashed up in the Lensman household with Cogerson grosses flying all over the place!]
4 Meryl Streep played Angela’s part in the Denzel Washington remake of The Manchurian Candidate. Anyway thanks for your own comments.
Unfortunately Bob we have silly twits running the country too, and not just in England. [wink]
Would have been more interesting if Meryl Streep had played Denzel Washington’s mother in the remake and he was the brainwashed son. Hollywood is trying it’s best to be colour (color) blind these days.
There’s a guy who commented on my Laurence Olivier Top 30 video earlier today, an epic comment with a mini-review on each movie, whoa! You should check it out, I can’t link it here but it’s worth a look.
2 As a big fan of Angela Lansbury on TV I was delighted to see that in under 24 hours your Angela video has already attracted 127 views [2 of which were MINE by the way!].
3 I would never dream of giving one of my top idols like Mr Mumbles credit for say Cary Grant or John McClane films, but is it possible that Angela is attracting such keen attention because viewers have been duped by WH into believing she played the temptress Delilah to Mature’s Samson? As you have said before “Sex sells!”
Hey Bob Lensman or is it Steve Belfast
1. Your earlier Lansbury comments have been moved from the Site Index to this page….per Steve’s suggestion.
2. When I decided to do this page…I was very happy to see that 33 of her movies were already in the database…..which meant I only had to research 13 of her movies…to complete this page….which makes me ask….why did it take so long to do one? I guess the WH failed…lol.
3. I agree the Olivier comment is epic….I might hijack and bring it over here…assuming he would not mind.
4. I agree with Steve…after knowing Lansbury as a Disney lady for years…it was pretty shocking to see her performance in Manchurian Candidate…right there with me when it comes to Fred “Absent Minded Professor” MacMurray killing Stanwyck’s husband in Double Indemnity.
5. Hey Bob…..Glad you have enjoyed this Jessica Fletcher page so much…..you might not like the next UMR page….for some reason I think it will be fun to see my UMR scores versus Joel Hirschhorn’s Rating the Movie Stars scores…one of us really likes Brando movies….and one of us really does not.
Thanks for all the feedback and comments.
Thanks for moving the posts here Bruce makes more sense now.
Is Bob calling me names again, should I call him a silly Irish twit or is this all getting a bit childish? John is probably smirking somewhere. 🙂
If that epic comment guy posts again on my channel I’ll direct him to your epic movie site, fingers crossed Bob won’t scare him off . [Steve bellows with epic laughter]
1 I live in Belfast but how do you know I’m Irish? Are you working on the kind of logic that says “Cats have 4 legs and my dog has 4 legs so therefore my dog is a cat.” I prefer the sort of reasoning that recognises that “All that glitters is not gold?”
2 As it is I’ll leave you with the cliche “Many of my best friends are English!”
STEVE
1 In a recent post you queried whether quips about “silly twits” were childish. I feel that to avoid taking ourselves too seriously all the time it does no harm to return to our childlike selves occasionally.
2 However it would disappoint and indeed concern me if it was thought that I would seriously disparage ANYONE’s nationality.
If you don’t know me by now
You will never never never know me
All the things that we’ve been through
You should understand me like I understand you
If you don’t know me by now (If you don’t know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won’t)
We’ve all got our own funny moods
I’ve got mine, Steve you’ve got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
But if you don’t know me by now
You will never never never know me
[Simply Red from from Class Action starring Gene Hackman 1991]
Bob, if you’re not Irish and refer to the English as ‘silly twits’ what else can you be?
A Scot? Och aye the noo
🙂
You were right the comments make a lot more sense here. I am sure John will pop up again…..I suspect he might be the mystery commetor In the Shadows. I think epic commentor would like this site.
Hey Bob…I like the 4 legs reasoning.
I think you are safe Bob.
STEVE/WORK HORSE
1 i could be forgiven for almost believing it was my birthday this week because I’ve got a Cogerson page AND a Lensman video almost in tandem on my favourite TV actress Angela Lansbury.
2 Both of you have provided wonderfully comprehensive profiles of that fine actress and Bruce’s two very small black and white stills augment Steve’s presentation in illustrating how sexy [in a vixen-like way] and versatile the young Lansbury was.
3 However on this occasion the old adage that “everything come to him or her who waits” doesn’t quite apply because poor Heddy still has’t been given the credit due to her by Brucie I wonder how he will paint himself out of the corner if he ever comes to do a long-awaited [by me] Lamarr page?
4 Nonetheless I am somewhat compensated by now being able to directly compare top 5s and you agree with the Work Horse on 4 of the Top 5 Lansbury flicks. I think I’ll sit on the fence on this one because apart from not knowing which of you two is the bigger Dorian Gray which Steve included in his 5 is one of my all time favourite movies whereas Bruce’s preference of Gaslight might technically be the slightly better flick. Anyhow for fun here are your respective comparative markings for those two movies:
Dorian Gray – Cogerson 78%/Lensman 79.5%
Gaslight – Cogerson 83%/Lensman 77%
All fine ratings of one degree or another and hardly worth getting into a John-like battle of wills with either WH or his video-loving/stats-hating counterpart is it? Actually IMDB thinks both of you have marked too generously in 3 out of 4 places for the two movies as it gives Dorian just 76% and Gaslight 79%
Hey Bob
1. All of these Lansbury pages popping up will make people think that she passed away…lol. Thankfully that is not the case.
2. As for Heddy….she still does not have a page…..so when it came time to do the UMR Co-Star Links….I had to go with Mature and DeMille….both have UMR links. I do realize she had the leading lady role in that movie.
3. I think our ratings are very very close this time out.
4. Gaslight and Dorian Gray are two of her three Oscar nominated performances….so it is no surprise that are both so highly rated…..Gaslight has had a more lasting legacy….Bergman’s Oscar win helps that out a lot.
Glad you liked your early or belated birthday present….lol.
Good work Bruce, this is as close as we’ve gotten to a same topic movie page and video upload. And thanks for the link, much appreciated.
I’ve seen 14 of the 45 listed here, I think that’s more than I managed on the video.
Favorites include – Blue Hawaii, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Company of Wolves, The Three Musketeers, Samson and Delilah, Beauty and the Beast and The Manchurian Candidate.
I think we have a similar top 10 but in different order, same number one.
A top rated films I haven’t seen is Gaslight, it’s on my list of classic films to see.
National Velvet was a huge hit worldwide, it’s been years since I last saw the movie. The Three Musketeers was another big hit, but I prefer the Richard Lester version, which was split in two.
Maybe you can move the posts Bob and I posted on Lansbury yesterday to this page, it would be a more fitting location.
Hey Steve
1. Late last night, the page I was working on (and one that will get Bob fired up) was taking so long…..so I had to come up with Plan B….which your latest You Tube video motivated me to go with a Lansbury page…so thanks for that.
2. I have seen 18 of these movies….your tally now might be 15 because I just added in her Anastasia movie..which was missing when you did this comment….thanks to your video again.
3. Blue Hawaii is in my mind…one of Elvis’ better movies….it sure looks awesome. I have seen all of your favorites with the exception of The Three Musketeers….which I want to see.
4. I think our critic/audience ratings are indeed pretty close. It will be fun to compare the numbers of our two Lansbury projects in 2018 and 2020.
5. This reminds me of when I did a Kirk and Michael Douglas page on the same day….over the years Kirk has easily beaten Michael in views.
6. As you suggested….you will see you and Bob’s conversation on this page versus the Site Index page.
Thanks for the feedback.

3. Blue Hawaii is in my mind…one of Elvis’ better movies….it sure looks awesome. I have seen all of your favorites with the exception of The Three Musketeers….which I want to see.
4. I think our critic/audience ratings are indeed pretty close. It will be fun to compare the numbers of our two Lansbury projects in 2018 and 2020.
5. This reminds me of when I did a Kirk and Michael Douglas page on the same day….over the years Kirk has easily beaten Michael in views.
6. As you suggested….you will see you and Bob’s conversation on this page versus the Site Index page.
Thanks for the feedback.
