HIS BROTHER'S WIFE (1936)

Sunday, February 14 8 p.m. The Age of Innocence (1993). I know that for some this is the best Scorsese picture.

Interlude (1957)

MARTY CYRANO DE BERGERAC COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA AFRICAN QUEEN SAYONARA

TBS started running programs at :05 and :35 for two reasons. The first reason has to do with TV listings. Once upon a time, in order to find out what was on TV, you had to look either in a magazine called TV Guide, or perhaps a TV supplement in your local newspaper, or a daily TV column in your newspaper. Going back even further, before grid displays for TV programs were common, shows were just listed in columns, sorted first by time, then channel. If a show started at an odd time (not on the hour or half hour), that would ensure your program a separate line entry in TV Guide's columns. The theory was that it would stand out more. The other reason is that, in those ancient days before everyone had a TV recording capability, if your show ended at :35, that meant that you would have missed at least 5 minutes of some other show on another channel, and the thought was that you'd just stay on TBS, rather than join some other show in the middle.

The Greatest Show on Earth

I thank you for your kind words. I generally try to avoid scheduling many foreign movies because they are not the classic Hollywood which is so much loved. I relaxed my rules a little because they are so appropriate here. The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! (1975) was originally a two-part television movie which was liked so much that some theatres did arrange to show it. It was quite popular.

UH-oh............... A movie from the '90's ? SOMEbody's gonna be upset! Sepiatone

I watched the late 70s thriller CAPRICORN ONE (1977) last night. I'd never seen it before. Hal Holbrook has a supporting role and he delivers a great speech at the beginning of the film. After the movie ended I was reading user reviews and I came across this one, which I think is worth posting here: Hal Holbrook is really truly a very nice person. Back in 2000, when I was parking cars as a valet at the La Bohim restaurant in West Hollywood, CA. Hal Holbrook came out of the La Bohim restaurant, with his wife (Dixie Carter), and approached me while I delivered his car and opened the door for him. While he approached the door, he was nice to say Hi to me while raising his right hand in a greeting gesture. It made me feel good because he acknowledged me as a human being . His wife noticed the surprise on my face and had a warm smile for me as well. His wife also left a very generous tip to as well. The Holbrook family are very special to me in my book.

From February 13-16, 1921, the Poli ran Godless Men, featuring Russell Simpson as Captain “Black” Pawl, James Mason as “Red” Pawl, Helene Chadwick as Ruth Lytton, and John Bowers as Dan Darrin. The film was released in November of 1920, and is available on YouTube, running around 72 minutes. Brief Plot: Captain “Black” Pawl and his son “Red” run a schooner. Pawl is a bitter, angry man, who has brought up his son to hate everyone. The two are constantly at each other throats. When the schooner arrives at a tropical island, Pawl agrees to give passage to a missionary and a young woman, Ruth Lytton. Dan Darrin, who is the schooner’s second mate, falls for Ruth. Meanwhile “Red” eyes the girl with lust. Pawl confides in the missionary that he has abandoned God. In a flashback, we learn that years ago, shortly after Pawl went off to sea, his wife gave birth to a daughter and ran off with another man. Pawl and his son eventually found the man, and Pawl killed him in a fistfight. Now, a new conflict and a revelation await the Captain. How will it be resolved? Review: This is an entertaining but entirely predictable film. The big reveal towards the end is something anyone could have seen coming once the schooner had left the island. Yet, the film did keep my interest, partially because of the completely rotten characterization of “Red” Pawl by James Mason (not the James Mason, of course). Character actor Russell Simpson also does a fine job as the Captain, although a few of his scenes are overblown. Most of the scenes are filmed aboard the ship, so we get some fine views and a wonderful shot of sunrise on the ocean. The print I watched was deteriorated in a few spots, but overall, it was very watchable. Guinn “Big Boy” Williams, in one of his earliest film appearances, has a bit part as one of the crew (front, second from left): The film was adapted from a Saturday Evening Post story entitled “Black Pawl,” by Ben Ames Williams. A few years after the film was released, Williams published a novel entitled “Black Pawl.” Williams might best be known for his 1944 novel “Leave Her To Heaven.” Partial spoilers: Despite two murders at the end of the film, the movie was passed by the National Board of Review, and also listed first on the board’s list of exceptional photoplays. In watching the film, one might say that one of the murders was “justified.” But an unusual incident occurred when the film was screened for a group of two hundred clergymen at the California Theatre in Los Angeles. At the conclusion of the film, one minister stood up and asked indignantly “Is it true that we are to sanction murder in this country? This picture should be stopped this very hour!” Most of the ministers in attendance did not agree. The pairing of John Bowers and Helene Chadwick is a bit eerie. Bowers, whose career was pretty well washed up by the advent of sound, drowned himself in 1936. Bowers is thought by some to have been the inspiration for the Norman Maine character in A Star is Born. Chadwick was married to William Wellman, the director of A Star is Born, and has a bit part in the film. That was her last film appearance.

Nothing against Zack Morris – well, actually now that I think about it, he was a total sociopath- but Jessie Spano really needed a GAY FRIEND in the Caffeine pill addiction/Hot Sundae episode. “Girl what the hell is your deal? Oh, caffeine pills? (Sigh) Amateur. Here, Take some of these, I got them from my grandma’s medicine closet. They’re some old Quaaludes she never threw out from the 70s. In about 3 1/2 minutes you’ll be kissing God, And if that doesn’t work, I got some cat tranquilizers I managed to snatch the last time I took the dog to the vet, They’ll take your down to a 6 honey. Better? Good. Now, let’s do something about this FRIED MOP on your head, because, Honey, your ends arent just split, they are DIVORCED!”

I would have said Bruce Dern for "Marnie" and "Family Plot".

Yes! Jessie Spano's caffeine pill freakout from the "Jessie's Song" episode of SAVED BY THE BELL is perhaps the greatest scene in the history of television. In college, a friend and I performed that scene. My rendition of Zack's speech about he and Jessie riding home on their bikes after seeing E.T. was quite moving (if I do say so myself . . .)

Jerusha, played by Julie Andrews in "Hawaii"

SPOILER ALERT: Maybe it's been a while since you last saw D.O.A.. Eddie dies in the last minute of the film and we never see Paula's reaction to it. In fact, even though she knows that something is terribly wrong, he never tells her that he is dying. I agree with you, however, that their romance is a sweet one, including his doubts about marriage and then final realization of how good she is for him after he knows it's too late. Paula, by the way, suddenly shows up in the dark streets of Frisco towards the end to comfort Eddie. The fact that she can find him in those streets after arriving by plane remains one of those mysteries that falls into the "Don't question it, just believe it" acceptance of film plot implausibilities we all have to live with much of the time.

MURPHY’S ROMANCE (1985)

RHODA

I'd like to see this one again. I don't care for the song, though Jeff Beck and David Gilmour have both said the guitar break in it, played by Franny Beecher, was inspiring to them. Anne Francis is always fun to watch, and here she is less worldy-wise than in later roles. I always remember Julie Adams as the female teacher, but it is Margaret Hayes. I don't fault it for being a little melodramatic. There weren't many movies about delinquents then, so it probably seemed a little fresher than it does now. In fact this would be a good double bill with Jerry Lewis and The Delicate Delinquent. For contrivance though, it's hard to beat the use of the name Dadier to get to Daddy-O.

Princess, I'm going to give this one to you since it's true about Edmund Gwenn, however, I was thinking of another actor and 2 films. My next clue would have ruled him out but with the info in the first clue, he fits too. Good work your thread,

I come from a family of movie buffs, on my mom's side. There's something special about classic film. I don't know why exactly. I love all kinds of movies from different eras, but there's something romantic about a black-and-white movie. I love looking at the clothes they used to wear and the cars, and even the prices of things. To me age has no bearing on what's good. It will be good forever. I feel sorry for others my age and younger because many of them will never know how great "old" movies are. When I was in school some of the kids would spit on a movie if it wasn't in color. I would roll my eyes and think, "Idiot. What do you know?" My love for classic movies and actors, coupled with my age, makes me feel unique. I just looked over my fav actor/actress list and I think all of them are dead except for two. Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, and they're not exactly spry. I don't care for current actors as much.

FOUR'S A CROWD (1938)

I relate this to stage plays, especially Shakespearean works. Imagine if someone told Laurence Olivier, sorry buddy you cannot play Hamlet because it's already been done before.
