Unexpected Movie Teams – Delightful Duos Creating Classic Films

Unexpected Movie Teams

Some movie teams seem inevitable and natural.  But some films boast completely unexpected movie teams. For instance, did you know that Sidney Poitier and Robert Redford co-starred in a terrific movie with Dan Aykroyd? Or that ditzy Gracie Allen co-starred in a musical with suave Fred Astaire? Sometimes unexpected movie teams make for a classic movie. That is the topic for this presentation in a four week series on classic films – is it any wonder why I love public speaking?

In this unique series of four presentations we will look at instances where movie stars with very different styles are paired together in combinations that are unique. Consider the teaming of Gregory Peck and Danny DeVito in Other People’s Money.  We will see how unexpected movie teams can create classic cinema. Whether it is the always manic Danny Kaye costarring with the always cool Gene Tierney or Bob Hope – who overplays everything – costarring with Roy Rogers – who underplays everything, these movies can offer special delights!

Please join us!  This series will be fun!

This presentation is part of a four week series.  Each week highlights a different era, a different team and a different genre.  Sessions include a multimedia presentation to offer background, analysis and clips from the movies.  Although we will look at many examples, the films at the centerpiece of the discussions include:

Sneakers

Absence Of Malice

Other People’s Money

Son Of Paleface
