Robert Ryan

We're going to have Champion with Kirk Douglas.

The Setup with Robert Ryan, which is a fantastic movie.

The Harder They Fall, the Bogart movie.

And 99 River Street, which does not get enough coverage.

He sure did.

It's a cracking crime film and there's a whole load of people in there which are just great.

And not to be confused with, in fact, Howard Hughes' remake of it in the 1950s, also called The Racket with Robert Ryan.

Yeah, Robert Ryan.

And he plays, Clift plays this kind of reluctant advice columnist.

And Robert Ryan plays his boss at the newspaper.

And he's just incredibly sadistic.

It's one of the hardest core Robert Ryan performances.

And then there's sort of a middle-aged Myrna Loy, who's very interesting in the film as well.

I've never seen that.

Well, the last movie I saw on, God bless TCM, because without that I don't think I'd be watching movies, was Berlin Story.

Now, I don't know how many of you have ever even heard of or seen Berlin Story, but it stars Merle Oberon and Robert Ryan and Robert Coote, who was, uh, Colonel Pickering [laughs] in My Fair Lady, and it's the first film shot in post-war Germany.

And having visited East Germany and Berlin, they, in, and in the '60s, this is the '40s, but I was there in the mid-'60s.

They kept all the rubble.

Eddie Muller, who's, uh, our noir expert, takes you through this movie.

It's a mystery.

Robert Ryan, Merle Oberon, hell of a movie until the end.

Great film.

Tonight, we are privileged to bring you Movie Time USA, honoring the motion picture industry on its 50th anniversary by presenting scenes from the newest in fine motion pictures.

Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keely.

[audience cheering]

We were able to follow our men that were serving their country through their training onto the battlefield.

And as we conquered the enemy, these same battlefields became the names of motion pictures and would ever be a memorial to the brave deeds of our heroes.

Here is our tribute to just one of the many branches of our armed services, the RKO picture, Flying Leathernecks, starring John Wayne as Dan Kirby and Robert Ryan as Griffin.

[upbeat music] This is 1942.

Maybe that shows my writing right when they're walking.

he's like tell me all the names you know all the stores you need to tell me all that and then also like writing down everything another good one is uh um odds against tomorrow have you seen that with uh robert ryan and sydney poitier and it's another heist thing and it's really good um he's writing everything down like okay 5 30 is when the flowers come and the other cool thing is we'll be out by five it's gonna take two hours to get through that

yeah they weren't out by five

and then he's like we'll be out by five five gotta be out by five before they open at ten and you're like okay and then all of a sudden yeah it's five to six and you're like dude like oh my god

And I think the only chance for what I've seen so far of somebody toppling Celtic, it might be down to hearts again for the second year in the bounce.

What have we got here? Robert Ryan has contacted me.

We had Robert on.

at the time we were flagging up Dumbarton FC and trying to help them out.

And Robert Ryan says, I'm putting this out as the YouTube moment of the week.

Hi Tammy says, for a League 2 highlight from yesterday, a League 2 highlight, and of course the game he's talking about is Dumbarton 2, Elgin City 1.

Have a look on YouTube for Dumbarton's second goal yesterday.

Fisherfolk.

You know what I think? Have you seen Bad Day at Black Rock? They're like Robert Ryan and his buddies.

Yeah.

That kind of thing.

Okay.

This film was nominated for five Oscars and stars three golden age greats all named Robert.

Crossfire.

It is Crossfire.

I thought Oriana had Crossfire on the brain.

I thought she might be, might, might be ready for that one.

R- Robert Ryan, Robert Young, and Robert Mitchum, the stars of that movie.

Shit.
