Rock Hudson 自传

评语： In 1963.they made Send Me No Flowers, which was based on the play by NormanBarasch and Carroll Moore. In it, Rock and Doris did not play the spar-ring virgin and playboy but a married couple in the suburbs. He was ahypochondriac who mistakenly thought he was going to die, and she wasthe wife who mistakenly thought he was having an affair. The film lackedthe spice and magic of the previous two comedies, and it underscored, forRock, the importance of having the right script. He and Doris continuedto search for another film for twenty years. At one point, they discussed aMovie of the Week with Delbert Mann, but he says,“We couldn't come upwith a story that would have the same sexual innuendos that had madethose comedies fun-in a way that would be valid in modern terms.” Rockfelt, if he was going to act with Doris, the material had to be special.

评语：... then to Italy to make Come September with Gina Lollobrigida, SandraDee and Bobby Darin.

评语：Rock went to Mexico in 1960 to make The Last Sunset with Kirk Douglas.

评语：When Rock read the treatment for Pillow Talk, he thought it was"dreadful" and turned it down. When he read the finished script, he was impressed with its humor and cleverness, but he thought the material too racy. He was also nervous about comedy a radical departure from the roles he'd been playing-and the movie called for him to sing, which he'd always wanted to do but had not yet tried on screen.

评语：The second film we made together, Lover Come Back, was even worse. I think they added two weeks to the shooting schedule because of our laugh-ter. We flat could not look at each other. I'd look at her forehead, her nose.And we did terrible things to each other; with our backs to the camera we'd make faces at each other. . . . It's perhaps acting rather juvenile in one sense, but in another, when you're shooting comedy, it isn't. What shows on the screen, I think, is what helped make those films successful. The twinkle shows in the eyes. And we had it.

评语：“biggest mistake of my career”

评语：制片人John Fore-man, who was Rock's agent after Henry Willson.

评语： Rock and Elizabeth remained close friends, although they did not work together again until The Mirror Crack'd in 1980.

评语：Clark Gable, Gary Cooper and William Holden wanted the role, but Stevens chose Rock after watching him in The Lawless Breed, where hehad played a gunfighter from youth to old age.

评语：where he played a young gardener who defies social onvention and woos an older widowed woman.

评语：First major film

评语：His favorite line of his career came from that film:“Taza will build Una's wikiup.” Rock broke up every time he had to say “wikiup,” and it became a buzzword on the set. Later, he said he never felt comfortable playing an Indian, his features were too blatantly European. “I looked like Joe College with a long wig and dark makeup. It was ridiculous.”

评语： in which he played John Wesley Hardin from youth to old age

评语： Rock gotfourth billing and had few major scenes, but the film would be a turning point in his career.

评语：In January of 1951, Rock was chosen to play Speed O'Keefe in Iron Man, the largest role he had yet been given. Seen today, in the context of Stallone's Rocky films, iron Man looks hopelessly primitive.

评语：the film would serve as a screen test
