One of the best loved actors, he died of a heart attack at the age of 89.

Starred in "Flight of the Phoenix", "It's a Wonderful Life", "Vertigo", the remake of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" among many others.

What's your favorite Jimmy Stewart film? Mine is "Harvey".

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Carbine Williams


I haven't seen either of those. I don't like a lot of westerns.

Both are life stories.
Liberty Valance is a western - but really a love story - sorry to be mushy.
Carbine Williams was set in the 20's - 30's - about the man that invented the carbine rifle.
Jimmy Stewart was one of my favorites.
If you like swing music - he did the Glenn Miller Story - lots of good music (set the 30's & 40's until Millers' death Christmas of 1944).

Rear Window - for suspense
The Stratton Story - for baseball
Stratigic Air Command - Stewart was an Army Air Corp pilot during WW2 & a General in the Air Force reserve

Pooka - that's what my Grandma called our belly buttons - something from Irish fairy tales.

Carbine Williams is not a western.  It is early 20th century poor south.

No Highway in the Sky (1951).
He plays an absent-minded airplane engineer - the movie is about metal fatigue.
This movie was made a few years before the problems with the British Comet - which were from metal fatigue.
Strangely prophetic.

I was trying to think of that title. I like that one too.
