They remain inextricably linked together in the mind's eye & ear thanks to the indelible opening credits.    Posted:   Jan 20, 2018 - 9:16 PM     By:   Ray Faiola   (Member) I first saw her as Cleva Chaney in MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES when I was a kid. She was my first dream girl 'til Anne Gwynne in RIDE 'EM COWBOY came along. But Malone was one of my favorite actresses. It was so nice they gave her a part in BASIC INSTINCT. Sad to see her gone. What a woman.    Posted:   Jan 21, 2018 - 12:18 AM     By:   arthur grant   (Member) In honour of the late Dorothy Malone (January 30, 1925 - January 19, 2018) R.I.P. Here is her brief but sizzling scene as the Acme book store proprietress in The Big Sleep: http://thecinemacafe.com/the-cinema-treasure-hunter/2018/1/20/capturing-a-golden-moment-20-the-big-sleep    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 12:01 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Michele Morgan was the lead, but it was co-star Frank Sinatra whose name and image dominated the advertising for the 1943 musical comedy HIGHER AND HIGHER. In the film, when bankrupt millionaire "Cyrus Drake" (Leon Errol) receives notice that the bank intends to foreclose on his mortgage in thirty days, and his wife and daughter decide to leave him, his valet, "Michael O'Brien" (Jack Haley), a former entertainer, proposes that "Millie" (Michele Morgan), the scullery maid, pose as Drake's daughter Pamela to snag a millionaire. During this charade, Millie meets the boy next door (Sinatra, playing a character named "Frank Sinatra"), who is convinced she is wealthy. Dorothy Malone (appearing under the name Dorothy Maloney) had a small role as a bridesmaid. Tim Whelan produced and directed. Eight songs from the film appear on the 2002 Rhino CD box set "Frank Sinatra In Hollywood."    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 12:06 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Dorothy Malone had a bit part in another Frank Sinatra film, when Gloria DeHaven appeared with Sinatra and George Murphy in 1944's STEP LIVELY. Murphy plays penniless theatrical impresario "Gordon Miller" whose star attraction is "Christine Marlowe" (DeHaven). One day, Miller takes playwright "Glenn Russell" (Sinatra) to a nightclub where Marlowe is performing. When Christine invites Glenn to join her in a song, the women in the audience go wild. Malone played a telephone operator. Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn wrote the songs for the film, which was directed by Tim Whelan. C. Bakaleinikoff was the musical director, with Ken Darby as vocal director. Leigh Harline provided some uncredited score. Hollywood Soundstage Records released an unauthorized LP of the film's music. Six of Sinatra's numbers (and one outtake), including several with DeHaven, were released in Rhino's "Frank Sinatra In Hollywood" box set in 2002.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 12:13 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1944's HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN, Dorothy Malone was lost among the myriad of stars appearing as themselves. She played a junior hostess in the film. Delmer Daves directed this wartime musical.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 12:34 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Malone had an early named role in NIGHT AND DAY, the 1946 fictionalized biopic of composer Cole Porter (Cary Grant), from his days at Yale in the 1910s through the height of his success in the 1940s. Malone played "Nancy," Cole Porter's cousin. Michael Curtiz directed the film. Ray Heindorf arranged and conducted the musical numbers, while Max Steiner provided incidental background music. In 1951, David Rose And His Orchestra created a 10-inch LP called "A Cole Porter Review (Songs And Scenes From The Life Of The Composer As Presented By Warner Brothers In Their Technicolor Production "Night And Day")"    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 1:10 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Malone had her first significant role, and her first poster credit, in Howard Hawks' THE BIG SLEEP. Humphrey Bogart plays Philip Marlowe in this 1946 detective story. Malone played the proprietress of the Acme Book Store, in a scene with the type of dialogue that was usually reserved for Bogart's scenes with Lauren Bacall (who played divorcee Vivian Rutledge). Reportedly, Malone was so nervous shooting the scene that they had to weight the glass of liquor she offers Bogart to keep her hands from shaking. During shooting, Howard Hawks added the strong implication that Marlowe and the bookstore clerk are about to make love as the scene ends. There is no such indication in the novel, but Hawks was so struck with the 19-year-old Malone's mature sexuality that he decided to make the scene steamier. About 10 minutes of Max Steiner's score was re-recorded for two albums in the RCA/Charles Gerhadt series of film score releases.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 1:36 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In the Texas-set western SOUTH OF ST. LOUIS, Randolph Scott plays "Kip Davis," a man seeking vengeance on "Luke Cottrell" (Victor Jory) and his guerrilla raiders, who burned his ranch during the Civil War. Dorothy Malone plays Kip's fiancée, "Deborah Miller." Publicity material on the film states that "South of St. Louis," was a Civil War term used to describe army deserters. Ray Enright directed the 1949 film. Max Steiner's score was released in 1999 by Screen Archives Entertainment as part of their 2-disc set "Distant Drums: Max Steiner and The United States Pictures Scores."    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 2:03 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Malone worked with Joel McCrea on a 1949 western. She played "Julie Ann Winslow," who along with her father "Fred" (Henry Hull) meets up with outlaw "Wes McQueen" (McCrea) on a stagecoach headed to the COLORADO TERRITORY. Raoul Walsh directed the film, which was a western remake of Walsh's HIGH SIERRA. COLORADO TERRITORY was the first U.S. movie to be banned in West Germany, which deemed it "an example of gangster films which glorify anti-social elements." David Buttolph's score has not had a release.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 1:41 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In the 1950 prison drama CONVICTED, Broderick Crawford plays district attorney "George Knowland," who becomes warden of a prison, and Dorothy Malone plays his daughter, "Kay." Henry Levin directed the film, which has an unreleased score by George Duning.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 1:55 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) My strongest association with Malone is from The Last Voyage. On the lines of a pre-Poseidon misadventure. RIP.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 1:56 PM     By:   filmusicnow   (Member) ...and does anybody remember her as Van Johnson (Marsh Goodwin)'s wife in the television miniseries "Rich Man, Poor Man" and what was her last feature film, that small role in "Basic Instinct"?    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 2:00 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Malone had a supporting role in THE KILLER THAT STALKED NEW YORK. In this drama, police seek a smuggler (Evelyn Keyes) while doctors, unaware she's the same person, desperately comb unprotected New York for a smallpox carrier. Dorothy Malone played nurse "Alice Lorie." The film was inspired by a 1946 smallpox scare, in which millions of New Yorkers were given free vaccinations without causing a panic. Earl McEvoy directed the film, which has an unreleased score by Hans Salter. Columbia postponed the release of the 1950 film for over six months until the end of the run of Fox's similarly themed picture, PANIC IN THE STREETS.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 2:12 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Dorothy Malone appeared in the rare comedy when she played in a featured role opposite Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in 1953's SCARED STIFF. Lewis played bumbling nightclub busboy “Myron Mertz” and Martin was his longtime friend, “Larry Todd,” the club's singer. Dorothy Malone was "Rosie," a girl who was being romanced not only by Larry, but by nightclub waiter "Pierre" (Henry Brandon) and gangster "Shorty" (Leonard Strong). George Marshall directed, and Leith Stevens provided the unreleased score for the film.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 2:32 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Dorothy Malone co-starred with Ronald Reagan in the 1953 western LAW AND ORDER. Reagan played sharp-shooting marshal "Frame Johnson." Malone was his girl friend "Jeannie," who agrees to marry him after Frame informs her that he has given up marshaling for a ranch in Cottonwood. Nathan Juran directed the film, which had a "team" score from Universal's music department.    Posted:   Jan 22, 2018 - 2:56 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1954's THE LONE GUN, George Montgomery starred as drifter "Cruze," who after a fistfight outside a saloon is offered the job of marshal by the town's mayor, "Booth" (Fay Roope).

In the film, a larcenous undercover cop (Fred MacMurray) falls for the beautiful moll (Novak) of a bank robber on the run (Paul Richards) and together they double-cross the hood and the cops. Malone played a young nurse, "Ann Stewart," whom the robber's partner (Phil Carey) comes to admire.
