Where are you from? New York City Please write down your comments? I saw Clive of India for the first time this morning -- bravo to Fox Movie Channel for showing this rarity. Ronald Colman was superb as always -- he was ideally cast opposite Loretta Young. He looked dishy in the 18th century costumes! November 21st 2004 12:16:38 AM What is your name? The LoyalTubist What is the Title of your Web Site: The LoyalTubist Web Page A Description of your Web Site: Personal Web Site How did you find this Web Site? OTR Links (I download the weekly MP3s) Where are you from? Riverside, CA Please write down your comments? Favorite Colman movie is Talk of the Town. I also enjoyed all of his work on radio, especially with his lovely wife. It does seem strange to me how he always tried to exemplify the ideal of someone who was born in the United States, yet there was no accounting for his English accent in his film roles and as William Todhunter Hall. That's the wonderful thing about acting: You can be someone you aren't, like a native born American, even if you don't even sound like it. November 9th 2004 01:31:47 PM What is your name?

Virginia How did you find this Web Site? Where are you from? New York City Please write down your comments? I just watched Random Harvest twice on TCM -- I had seen it several times before -- this time I read the book by James Hilton. I also saw Prisoner of Zenda recently. I enjoyed your site very much -- one of my favorite Ronald Colman films is The Talk of the Town, but like you , I have enjoyed every performance I have seen by Mr. Colman. He was a great film star. Thanks for the lovely site in his honor. September 22nd 2004 02:11:14 PM What is your name? Gerry How did you find this Web Site? askjeeves.com Where are you from? Utah Please write down your comments? My older brother was named for Ronald Colman because my mother, who was married in 1934 was a big fam. Random Harvest has become a family favorite. All our sons viewed the movie with their girlfirends and then proposed to them... September 20th 2004 September 12th 2004 12:05:28 AM What is your name? Rosalind How did you find this Web Site? Yahoo search Where are you from? Los Angeles Please write down your comments? Thank you for this website. I became a fan of Ronald Coleman because I love Lost Horizon. Tonigt I saw another movie in which he stared with Greer Garson. So I decided to look him up on the internet and found this site. I appreciate the way the site is laid out. I think it matches his style a lot. Thanks much! What is your name? August 25th 2004 10:39:18 PM What is your name? Louise How did you find this Web Site? Where are you from? New York State, near Canada Please write down your comments? Thanks so much for the lovely tribute to one of my favorites. Other than enjoying his many films, I have a minor near-connection - I just missed being cast as the young Lucie Manette, losing out to my friend and playmate, Fay Caldicott. Sorry I missed getting to know Mr. Colman. I think my favorite film is "If I Were King", because it features two of the finest, Ronald Colman AND Basil Rathbone, both at the top of their form, but the Prisoner of Zenda is a close second. Thanks again. August 14th 2004 11:46:57 PM What is your name? William What is the Title of your Web Site: Welcome To Old Fart Productions How did you find this Web Site?

These were some of the best Jack Benny shows when Ronald Colman visited Jack and the Gang with his wife Bonita. Thanks to the Webmaster for having a place we can download Ronnie & Bonita's radio show, Halls Of Ivy, Thanks Lynn August 4th 2004 11:04:09 PM What is your name? betty What is the Title of your Web Site: Golden Oldies Movie Trivia of the 40's & 50's How did you find this Web Site?

Remember Ronald and that Shakesperian voice in "The Lost Horizon and my all time favorite..."Random Harvest"....I have the latter on tape. Such a delightful movie. Thanks Lynn for the opportunity to talk about, and remember these wonderful unforgetable actors. August 4th 2004 11:11:13 AM What is your name? Richard Shaw How did you find this Web Site? Where are you from? Wakefield, England Please write down your comments? This is a lovely website. Like yourself, I cannot understand why Colman is largely forgotten today. A Tale of 2 Cities, Random Harvest and Lost Horizon are films of pure beauty, and I can watch them again and again. Like yourself, it was the film of A Tale of 2 Cities that first introduced me to Colman; it was shown as an accompaniment to Barry Norman's Hollywood Greats in 1978. By the way, I had a good piece of luck last year. I ordered 'If IWere KIng' from an Amazon America; I took a chance because American videos are not always compatible with British machines; it worked!

Hi, Lynn! My wife and I have been "into" old movies, mostly from the 30's and 40's, for years, and Ronald Colman is one of our very favorite actors. We love If I Were King, Random Harvest, The Talk of the Town, Lucky Partners,The Prisoner of Zenda, A Tale of Two Cities, and My Life With Caroline. So we were very pleased to find this very informative bio on him, but even more to have the chance to downlod these radio shows. We sent $5.00, and plan to do so for every two shows we download. Thank you very much for making these shows and your site available! Barry Weeks April 9th 2004 01:06:45 AM What is your name? Carole Mathewson Where are you from?

Cullen Anderson How did you find this Web Site? Searching under Ronald Colman Where are you from? Payson, Arizona Please write down your comments? I dearly love "Lost Horizon". I got goose bumps when I first saw it in about 1961 when I was 13. I got chills of recognition hearing Sam Jaffe say that he envisioned a world where everyone was kind to one another. It was the start of a life long spiritual seeking. I do vaguely remember "The Halls Of Ivy". It really strikes a bell with me. I look forward to hearing some of the shows in your archives. Bottom line is I am a big fan of Ronald Colman. He is right up there with another favorite of the Golden Age, Jeanette MacDonald. Thank you for a wonderful website.

I was ten when I first heard the Halls of Ivy and I had no idea who Ronald Colman was, let alone his wife. I was hooked immediately. My mind fills with lots of sounds that turn into beautiful pictures when I listen. My big favorites were the detective and Mystery/Horror shows, Let's Pretend while eating my Coco Wheats on Saturday morning; but that song, The Halls of Ivy, stayed with me through the years and it always gave me a sensation of beauty and serenity. You have a beautiful site and it's very well organized. I'd never have the patience to upkeep something like this. What is your name? John Belz How did you find this Web Site? Where are you from? Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A. Please write down your comments? I love the voice of Ronald Colman. My favorite movie of his is "Random Harvest". At this time of the year I look forwarded to listening to his version of "A Christmas Carol". I have it on 78 and LP (abreviated), but would love to get the complete version on CD. It it availible on the Isles? Thanks for reading.

I'm like you .. just happened to turn on the TV one day and one of my movie channels was showing " Lost Horizon " ... and I was hooked. I went out and bought the book by James Hilton and have read it 20 times.. and from then on I never missed an opportunity to see Ronald Coleman in anything. I think he's so under-appreciated. Such a gentleman .. such a classy, companionable individual. Thanks again for your site on Ronald Coleman. I've been looking for just such a site for a long time. September 16th 2003 03:11:51 PM What is your name? Bill Moen How did you find this Web Site? by chance Where are you from? California Please write down your comments? I was always an admirer of Ronald Colmans' voice (I am a Broadcaster) and his elegant style. Some years ago I took my son to his gravesite overlooking the sea in Santa Barbara and was quite moved by the beautiful black marble headstone and the apt inscription from "The Tempest". I, too, am amazed that he has been forgotten. (Presumably, the result of the scandal-free life of a true gentleman.) Bill Moen August 24th 2003 10:27:49 PM What is your name?

I am still not used to the idea of looking for so many different things on the internet ( This is my first computer! ) Just for the heck of it, I thought I would look up Mr. RC, as I am always looking for books and such to add to my collection. Amazing! Never did I imagine that there would be a website for him! Oh, what a wonderful actor and truly elegant man. I was hopelessly enamoured when I saw " A Tale of Two Cities " as a younster. At 41, I am still hopelessly devoted and am grateful for the joy he has shared with so many through his work. Bravissimo Madame webmaster, and best regards to all...

Sutton Surrey formerly from Richmond Surrey Please write down your comments? Great site and happy 4 July to all in the USA. Where exactly in Richmond was RC born and how long did he live there? What was the road name and house number and does the house still exist? If so, is there a heritage plaque on the house? Where I now live in Sutton there is such a plaque on a house nearby saying that Noel Coward lived there as a boy. Anything similar for RC in Richmond? June 24th 2003 12:49:56 PM What is your name? Vincent Knue Where are you from? Maine Please write down your comments? My first Ronald Colman film was A Double Life, and it blew me away. I had never seen such a dramatic and full charachter as his was in this film. The ending took my breath away. It was after that film I began watching all of his greatest films. He was a dynamic actor for his time. We are fortunate to be able to see him in action in all of his films. I agree with your description of "His films are great for a snowy afternoons".

England-about 2 miles from Richmond, Surrey where Coleman was born Please write down your comments? A very informative and interesting web site. I was raised on a diet of old movies and tend to find them more watchable than many of the modern ones--also, the old stars seem to have more charisma and personality than most of the ones we have today. My father is also a Ronald Coleman fan and has a huge video library of his and other classic movies. June 20th 2003 07:10:31 PM What is your name? Dr. Gary Stanner How did you find this Web Site? Searching for any information on Ronald Colman Where are you from? Pendleton, Oregon Please write down your comments? I have been a fan of Mr Colman, most of my life. Prisoner of Zenda, being my favorite all time film. I could never get over the amazing amount of honor and sensitivity that Mr. Colman was able to project in his movie roles. As it turns out he was that way in his life as well, so I guess in many ways he was just playing him self. I believe his experiences in the first world war had a major inpact on his life, and that was why he could play the role of adventurer so well. This is a very professional site, I will save it in my favorites list and come back often. Thanks so much for making Mr. Colman come back to all of us. June 17th 2003 01:55:16 PM What is your name?

I am an enthusiastic old movie fan, I was actually brought up on them! I am rather young (17 as of June) but I find that I prefer old movies (1920's-1940's) to "new movies". I enjoy many old actors and actresses, my favorite actor being Ronald Colman. His performances always amaze me! And what a voice.. none compare!!

I do have "A Tale of Two Cities" on video and I would say it's one of my all time greats, Ronald's acting in this movie is one of the finest displays I have ever seen. The warmth in his acting is brilliant, you don't see it these days. Keep up the good work, Anthony April 13th 2003 April 1st 2003 10:36:51 PM What is your name?

The man was beyond his years. How can you watch something over and over and over again and still be entranced by just a voice? He was the last of the true Gentleman. And he is sorely missed by fans! Thanks for such a wonderful website! Its obvious your as much of a fan as i am. If not more! I just recently aquaired The Halls of Ivy collection. Everytime i hear that voice i just stop what im doing and watch, sometimes listen. What is it about him that will just wash your troubles away? March 30th 2003 02:16:54 PM What is your name?

I love to close my eyes and listen to the weekly show...it is easy to pretend that 50 years have not gone by and I'm once again perched in front of our console radio in the living room of my childhood. I think that this show is responsible for my encouraging my son to become a university professor...Wish the present reality could be more like that depicted in these lovely episodes.

For listening in the car I record the syndicated Stan Freberg stuff (when there's not a game on) and a lot of yesterdayusa.com - but I keep missing the Halls of Ivy, I like it very much, but my wife Loves it. I knew who Ronald Colman was and I knew he was pals with Jack Benny, I had heard some of those radio shows. I was fascinated when I discovered Halls of Ivy. Lost Horizon was on TCM a while back and my wife was unfamiliar with that! March 10th 2003 04:42:34 PM What is your name?

St. Louis, Missouri Please write down your comments? I spent 47 years in St. Louis radio so, for the most part, voices were important to me. But, no one ever approached Ronald Colman, who mesmerized me as a child in "A Tale of Two Cities". Orson Welles and Alexander Scourby were runners-up in my opinion....but distant second.

Gerard Carroll Where are you from? Philadelphia, PA Please write down your comments? Viewing your website on Ronald Colman was very much akin to spending time with a valued friend. How sad that so few of today's generation are familiar with this man's work or character! I can think of many actors who were more accomplished, certainly who were more handsome, more versatile - and far more publicized. Given all this, Colman stands out. Why? He was really a thinking man's actor. The traits he embodied - intellectual fortitude, gentle self-effacement, silent courage, manly conviction - were not the sort of traits which audiences en masse could then fully appreciate. Today, when obscene language, crude gestures, tatooed arms and pierced tongues are a veritable passport to Hollywood superstardom, the sort of world-weary integrity which this gentlemen embodied is either dismissed or denigrated. What a pity- for it is the Ronald Colman types, those who bore life's nastiest vicissitudes with smiling stoicism and a closed mouth, who built so much of "modern civilization". In some ways, Colman was a more urbane, less declamatory sort of Gregory Peck. It is not a type one sees in film anymore and the world is far sadder for it.

HELLO, LYNN---I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BIG FAN OF RONALD COLMAN AND HAVE SEEN MOST OF HIS MOVIES. MY FAVORITE IS 'LOST HORIZON.' I FIRST SAW IT IN 1956 WHEN I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT. I HAVE A RECORDING OF LOST HORIZON ON A DECCA LP RECORD. ON THE FLIPSIDE IS 'A TALE OF TWO CITIES.' I ALSO HAVE A FOUR LP SET OF SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS READ BY RONALD COLMAN. I ALSO HAVE AN LP OF DICKEN'S 'A CHRISTMAS CAROL' FEATURING COLMAN AS SCROOGE--AN OLD RECORDING FROM THE FOURTIES, I BELIEVE.

But if I were King I'd have file downloadable presentations of the program. Enough of my selfishness now. My favourite movie is Lost Horizon. It has got me through a rough spot here and there in life. It is a pleasure to be able to hear Mr. Coleman's voice at any time in any format. And to hear the love for each other in Ronnie and Bonita's voice as they did Halls is a double pleasure. Thank you for this your labour of love. February 15th 2003 08:06:44 PM What is your name?

I must have been 5 or 6 when I began listening to "The Halls of Ivy," and it is amazing the impression it made--the theme song and all. And watching his films at summer camp--the hiss of the soundtrack, the clatter of the projector--unforgettable. And "Lost Horizon" is the perfect antidote for our Bush-ed reality! February 12th 2003 09:43:13 PM What is your name? Kendall Svengalis How did you find this Web Site? Where are you from? North Stonington, CT Please write down your comments? I discovered Ronald Colman about 1956 when I was about nine years old. The film was "Lost Horizon." Colman was one of the truly magical actors of Hollywood's Golden Age. He had the ability to completely mesmerize his audience with his beautiful voice and suave and cultuled style. Whether in "A Tale of Two Cities," "The Prisoner of Zenda," "If I Were King," or many others, his performances were utterly captivating. No actor has ever moved me like Colman. It is indeed sad that the current generations don't know Ronald Colman. They are so focused on the actors and films of today that they miss out on some of the greats of yesterday. But great performances are eternal. Ronald Colman will live on as one of the finest actors to have ever graced the screen,accessible to all to take the time to search for greatness.

Antonio Roco How did you find this Web Site? Through Google Where are you from? Badajoz, Spain. Please write down your comments? This is a great site, no doubt and it shows a real admiration for that great actor and man that was Ronald Colman. I discovered him about 3 years ago when I could buy that gorgeous DVD of Lost Horizon edited by Columbia (a wonderful work of restoration). Of course I'd seen many of his films since I was a kid but here in Spain, most films are dubbed, so I hadn't been able to appreciate his unique voice, which is, of course, one of his most remarkable traits. So when I had the opportunity to see and hear him as he really was, I was deeply impressed. Now I'm a total fan of Ronald Colman, and I can't understand why he's now so forgotten when he was the first real star in cinema, worthy of being called like that. Congratulations for your great site. I really enjoyed reading it. By the way, I'd love to contact fans of Ronald Colman from all over the world, so here's my e-mail address in case someone wants to drop me a line. Thank you.

Lynn: Absolutely Ecstatic to find a site devoted to Ronald Colman!! He has been a favorite of mine since I was, what, perhaps 8 years old when I first saw him in A Tale of Two Cities on television. One problem with your site, though. I cannot get the audio to play when I click onto the vintage radio icon. I don't think the problem is my computer--it is a new DELL and has all the latest bells and whistles and software. REAL PLAYER says the problem might be with the link.

Ronald Colman was my first heart-throb when I was at school back in 1945. I absolutely adored him and bunked off school more than once to go and see his films. I was so thrilled every time I went through Richmond, Surrey on the bus because this was where he was born. My happiest memory is when he won his Oscar and came to London for the opening of A Double Life. As I watched that film on TV yesterday I thought there must be a website for him somewhere and now I have found it. I dont have time right now to browse it properly, but I'll be back. So nice to know so many other people love him too. September 9th 2001 11:28:52 AM What is your name?

Recently watched Random Harvest for the umpteenth time - greatest tearjerker ever. Have a great interview with Greer Garson, late in her life. In it she describes a visit by the Colman's to her ranch in the west. The group went one evening to a local barn dance for an evening of square dancing. Unfortunately when they arrived the " caller " was unavailable for some reason. Guess who volunteered to do the calling and was a great success! Apparently he was a man of many talents with a really great sense of humour. What is your name?
