Yeah, I know what you guys are saying. But i am talking about a "girly", "mushy" show. A show in which you would NOT...OC typically. I know we expect it in Western Shows and any general Action Show.

I'll bet that evil Nazi in
The Sound of Music would have left Capt. Von Trapp alone if Julie Andrews had been OCing.
I'll bet Ingrid Bergman would have gotten out of Casablanca faster if she had been OCing. But, Rick Blaine just would not have looked cool OCing. It just wouldn't work. Sam, maybe. Oh, and Ugarte (Peter Lorre) wouldn't have been dragged from Rick's Cafe Americain so easily if he had been OCing. Gunned down, yes. Dragged screaming, no. Of course, we'd have missed that memorable desperation in his voice, "Rick!Rick!...."
I'll bet Olivia de Haviland wouldn't have gotten smooched nearly as quick by Errol Flynn in
Captain Blood if she had been OCing, so it can't really fit in this movie.Now, if Governor Willoughby had been OCing when Capt. Blood caught up with his ship, it would have looked dashing. Of course, any Errol Flynn movie with swords is automatically an OC movie. I'm talking about OCing a pistol.
Robin Hood with Errol Flynn just wouldn't have been right if he'd OC'd a pistol. No place to do it with the tights. Maid Marion would have looked kinda funny OCing with the big skirt, but maybe.
Lets see. There was plenty of OC in
Gone With the Wind. Of course, one of the more dramatic moments is when Scarlett O'hara momentarily OC's up the stairs, then transitions to CC (behind her dress), the goes to low ready just before blasting the evil, leering Yankee.
Oh! Wait a minute. How about this picture? Audrey Hepburn OCing in
Breakfast at Tiffany's?
Or, ....yes....wait for it. BO DEREK OCing during that beach-run sequence in THE PERFECT TEN!!!
