Discuss Gene Tierney

I've been smitten ever since I saw her in Laura. Since then I have seen: Leave Her to Heaven, Razor's Edge, Heaven Can Wait, and The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Are there any others that I should check out?

Besides the ones you mentioned (which those are the essentials), I've additionally seen 1946's Dragonwyck https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/26286-dragonwyck?language=en-US, that I recall is quite good.

I think you've seen most of her best-known or most iconic roles but Night and the City and The Mating Season are certainly worth watching.

She only has a small role but Advise & Consent is excellent.

Thank you both for those, I'll keep an eye out

Agree that The Mating Season has a lot of interesting scenes, and Gene's pretty good in this, too.

  • The Mating Season (1951), with
  • Gene Tierney as Maggie Carleton
  • John Lund as Val McNulty
  • Thelma Ritter as Ellen McNulty
  • Miriam Hopkins as Fran Carleton
  • Jan Sterling as Betsy
  • Larry Keating as George C. Kalinger, Sr., and
  • Billie Bird as Mugsy

Hard to take the scenes where Thelma's fighting Miriam over Larry, and she's putting down Miriam with those famous Thelma Ritter insults of hers, because Miriam's the major star here (even with John Lund in the cast).

But after I saw Miss Tierney's horrid performance in Leave Her to Heaven, I couldn't watch another of her films again although I might revisit The Mating Season one day if only for that charming Billie Bird as Mugsy.
