If you're going to have Myna Loy - you should also include William Powell

Chris,

Possibly but he's no Myrna Loy.

Although he never lived in Vermont - Powell was superior to Claude Raines (though loved Raines - very underrated in Lawrence of Arabia)

Chris,

Perhaps I have been unjust. In which films would you say Powell surpassed the "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Notorious" performances? Or the "Casablanca" performance?
