Happy birthday to Tyrone Power! NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1947) is his masterpiece. He lobbied the studio to acquire the rights and only got their approval after he promised to do more romantic comedies. His portrayal of grifter Stan Carlyle is his greatest, and NIGHTMARE ALLEY is a film noir classic. #BOTD
Happy birthday to Glenn Ford! In every genre, he made his mark. He shined in GILDA (1946), THE BIG HEAT (1953), JUBAL (1956), 3:10 TO YUMA (1959), BLACKBOARD JUNGLE (1955), POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES (1961), EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (1962), THE ROUNDERS (1965), and dozens more! #classicstars #BOTD
