The new Leslie Caron links originally confused me, but I now see why you have two links. Being more of a fan of your current people versus your classic people I must admit I like the one with all the pictures. It really helps me understand more about the movie than the statistics do. Seeing the pictures actually has me more interested in actually checking out some of these movies. The Glass Slipper and Valentino are two examples of that. So keep these new picture pages coming.
Hey Helakoski….thanks for your thoughts on this new type of page. If it gets you interested in checking out classic movies, then I must be going down the right path here. It takes a lot longer…..but I like how it turned out. Appreciate the comment on somebody who made films over 60 years ago.
I can’t see it Bruce! Oh wait flashblock on again. 😉
Missed this page earlier. Good stuff Bruce, I liked the stills, not sure about all the numbers underneath, do they mean anything? [Bob gasps] 😉
Kidding. What you could do in future countdowns is also include trivia like ‘First Movie’, ‘Last movie’, ‘Worst movie’, ‘I hate this movie’ and ‘My grandad liked this one’.
Hey Steve. You did not get me this time…lol. In my efforts to do something new…..I was doing a Leslie Caron Top 30 countdown….when I got to the Top 5 the widget said I had maxed out on “cards”….and would not let me add anymore cards/movies. So I had to delete #26 through #30 …..just so I could have a Top 5. Good suggestion on adding in other types of information rather than just these pesky stats. Thanks for checking out this latest page.
Just got through viewing both of your Leslie pages. Maybe it is the newness of this one but I like this one more. The combo of the stats and pictures is more visually appealing. Good job.
When Leslie Caron first appeared on film, she had an irresistible gamine appeal and wide saucer eyes that glowed with innocence. This innocence was exquisitely utilized in her early musicals. Maturity added sophistication and an expanded acting range, but it also subtracted some of her individuality.
