In Reply to: RE: Just saw my Fav Scene in almost any Film: posted by oldmkvi on January 09, 2022 at 07:38:53
My fav Tracy movie is It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, esp. when they find the big W. I also like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
Follow Ups:
Watching mainly to pay my respects to Poitier but all actors delivered in this fine film and Tracy perfect in his part.
----------------------
"E Burres Stigano?"
in class as an exercise in emotion....It really doesn't get much better as done by Tracy. He was like a chameleon IMO in most of his roles. So many to name including the ones already mentioned in the thread... I like him in Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Judgment At Nuremberg, Captains Courageous and Boys Town....

GWCTD?:
"Poitier frequently found himself starstruck, and as a result, a bit tongue-tied in the presence of Hepburn and Tracy, whom he considered to be "giants" as far as acting is concerned. However, Poitier reportedly found a way to overcome his nerves. "When I went to play a scene with Tracy and Hepburn, I couldn't remember a word. Finally, Stanley Kramer said to me, 'What are we going to do?' I said, 'Stanley, send those two people home. I will play the scene against two empty chairs. I don't want them here because I can't handle that kind of company.' He sent them home. I played the scene in close-up against two empty chairs as the dialogue coach read Mr. Tracy's and Miss Hepburn's lines from off camera."
I'm don't doubt younger actors had the same issue acting with Poitier in later years.
When my wife was 14, she was leaving The St. Francis Hotel with her parents after lunch
and saw Poitier starting to get in a taxi and ran over to... gush?... and HE thought she wanted
the cab and let her take it, gentleman that he was.
She had the cab go around the block and bring her back to her parents outside the St. Francis
wondering WTH was going on.
Mr. Poitier had taken the next cab.

What about "Inherit the Wind"?
That's the one that checks all the boxes for me when it comes to Tracy performances, but then I can't think of a bad one of his either.
not to knock Tracy, just a misguided movie that skewered Steinbeck's intent.
Frank Morgan was great (as always) though!

No wonder Morgan changed his name...
Ooh, I forgot about Tortilla Flat.
That one is a bit of a turkey.
