Between Midnight and Dawn (Prowl Car, 1950)

"Your girlfriend seems kinda worried about something."

"So she's afraid of cops. So what's that prove?"

"I'll tell ya later."

O'Brien looks a little old to be a potential romantic lead in the love triangle that develops in the film‚ but actually he #would have been 34 at time of shooting (!) so i guess it's just literally his face... idk. just one of those guys who looks older than he #was. Mark Stevens (and his chin) are a much more likely love rival for Gale Storm's charms (and as an aside‚ how great a stage name is #Gale Storm? excellent choice Gale‚ real name Josephine Cottle). script delivers a few punchy lines but this is fairly disposable fare tbh

— 25 Days Of Winter: Ice Skating Together

roland fortis (vanitas no carte) x fem!reader

warnings: none!

25 days of winter event

"y/n? dear? i do not think this is a bright idea," roland stammered as he stood on the ice rink with his newly tied ice skates on his feet. he was standing with his arms out like a penguin, and you almost laughed at how scared he was of this out of all the things he had done.

"what do you mean?" you pouted, skating in a circle around him. "it's not that scary, love." you stopped in front of him, grabbing onto his hands. "come on."

"y/n i don't- this isn't- oh goodness," roland said as you began to pull him further onto the ice with you.

you had been ice skating for a long while now, since you were a child. it was one of your favorite activities during the holidays, and you wanted roland to experience that with you this year. if only you knew how afraid he was of slipping and falling on ice than killing vampires. it was quite funny, actually. to see the male stumbling and gripping onto you for dear life as you expertly skated around the rink.

you slowly pulled roland around the skating rink one whole loop around the place before stopping in front of him. "do you wanna try alone, now?"

"sure," he nodded his head. with one swift kickoff, roland made his way slowly down the rink's edge with you following quickly behind him.

"you're doing great!" you smiled at him, skating in front of him now. "now try and do that again but with the other foot."

"okay," roland nodded again. he was staring at his feet as he moved his other foot, moving closer towards you as he grinned widely. "i'm doing it!"

"yes!" you clapped your hands together happily for your boyfriend.

roland skated over to you and grabbed your hands, now becoming the one leading you and skating around the place with happy laughter erupting from the two of you.

"you were right my dear, this is fun!" roland smiled as he skated around.

"i told you!" you responded. "you just have to get over that initial fear and then you're great!"

roland skated in a circle around you as you moved further down the rink, grabbing your hand and spinning you around with giggles escaping from your lips.

after a few spins, roland pulled you into his arms and kissed your forehead with a bright smile. "thank you for doing this with me, y/n."

"of course," you smiled up at him. "i know you don't get to do much, so this is at least something."

"something great indeed," roland then pecked your lips. "now c'mon!" he started to skate again only to fall.

his hand which was still holding onto yours resulted in you falling as well, letting out a yelp as you landed on top of roland. staring down at his shocked expression, you couldn't help but start laughing. he did soon after, holding onto you with a smile still on his face.

"i think we can go home now," you patted his chest.

"i believe so as well," roland nodded, kissing you again.

Convicted (1950)

"Will you tell me what all the fuss is about? I had a few drinks and I hit a guy. It happens every day."

"You know who the boy was?"

"No, I'd never seen him before."

"Anyone told you he died this morning? Not just a bar room brawl now, Joe. A man is dead, you did it."

"Well, it... it was just an accident."

"He's still dead."

JULIE DOING “STUFF” WITH FAMOUS PEOPLE (14th post in the series)

Is. This. Real??? Just saw this publicity pose of Julie with Lana Turner from the POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE above. Nothing to see here except two amazingly beautiful people! SIZZLING!

Above looks like the actors are reacting to some fun information from their director, Tay Garnett.

Julie is shown on the OUT OF THE FOG set with director, Anatole Litvak and costars John Qualen and Thomas Mitchell.

Litvak watches as Julie and Ida Lupino practice a scene for the same film. Although he is looking suave and smooth above, this was Julie’s MOST dastardly characterization.

A few years before he was unjustly called to testify, Julie is pictured above with Hollywood colleagues following a congressional session probing communist activities. Shown from left: writer-director, Paul Stewart; writer, Phillip Epstein; actor, Uta Hagen; Julie; actor, Bernice Parks; dancer, Paul Draper; producer, Oscar Serlin; and writer, Julius Epstein.

Shelley Winters shares a laugh as Julie picks her up in the pool on set for his last film, HE RAN ALL THE WAY. I don’t think either of them laughed in any of the scenes in this tense noir.

Another example of “no laughing matter” in a scene from the same movie. Julie’s pictured with Norman Lloyd. Lloyd’s character didn’t care if Julie had a bad hunch that day.

Director, John Houston confers with Julie and Gilbert Roland on the set of WE WERE STRANGERS.

Tyrone Power greets Julie with a handshake. Too bad Power is blinking. His performance in the original NIGHTMARE ALLEY was powerful, although the Bradley Cooper remake packed a punch too.

Julie sits next to Marlene Dietrich at a ballgame in Los Angeles on Sept. 8, 1943. To Dietrich’s left among others are Jean Babin, Ginny Sims, Jinx Falkenberg and Ann Rutherford.
