George Brent : Why Does He Seem to Be Forgotten?

I enjoy his films so much, particularly The Rains Came. But if you mention him to a lot of people, unlike a lot of 40's stars, they won't know who he was.



This positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms!Terry-Thomas about US 1963.Hasnt changed much!

Sadly, he's seldom remembered or taken into account even among classic film fans, except when discussing Bette Davis movies. I, for one, like him a lot. He's by far one of my most favorite of that era, and I reckon he was and still is very underrated. Always so handsome, relaxed and charming, I would take him any day over other better known ones such as, for instance, Cary Grant.

One of mine too. I especially liked him Spiral Staircase and Jezebel. He just exuded class and dignity

Indeed. Liked him in both movies, also. Recently re-watched The Rains Came, in which he was terrific, as well.

I know what you mean. For my part, I only discovered him about 7 years ago and found him strikingly handsome and with a commanding presence. An extremely attractive man with a lot of sex appeal.
