One we haven't had yet, I think. David Niven in A Matter of Life and Death. 'I always hoped there would be dogs.' Wonderful, wonderful film. His two books of anecdotes are very funny indeed. I do like a man with a sense of humour.

I think this thread should just keep going, even if we keep repeating the James Masons and Cary Grants in it.

Oh here they are again!

Well if we're going there here's Clint again😁

I watched lots of cowboy films with my dad when I was young and along with the stars already mentioned, I’d like to mention Audie Murphy

I watch Westerns with my Dad too.
