And I find that as a Douglas Sirk substitute when I've watched all of his films recently and am itching for something similar, Delmer Daves' late-'50s/early-'60s work will often scratch the itch. Kings Go Forth A Summer Place Parrish Susan Slade Rome Adventure

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! I was beginning to get genuinely concerned about the lack of early '30s films (my faves) on TCM lately, but what a complete turnaround in the month of December. Now my only concern is how much space I'll have on TIVO in case I can't watch them all fast enough. I can't remember the last time I was so pleased with the offerings while reading the monthly schedule. A very nice Xmas present from TCM indeed. There's a lot that I'm excited about, but I'll single out two in particular - So Big is a wonderful film with a great performance by Stanwyck, and We're Rich Again (although I think it's not very well regarded) is a movie I saw years ago (on AMC back when that was a channel I was willing to watch) and found very funny and enjoyable - Edna May Oliver is a hoot in it.

Tony Martin was also born in 1912, but not until December while Karl Malden was born in March. So unless someone else comes up with another that we haven't thought of yet, that would make Karl Malden the only famous actor born before the sinking of the Titanic who's still alive today.

Others born in 1917 include: Dannielle Darrieux Marsha Hunt Googie Withers Laraine Day Lena Horne Brenda Joyce Zsa Zsa Gabor Phyllis Diller

Cary Grant: "Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops!"

In addition to those mentioned, don't forget: Doris Eaton - 3/14/1904 Mary Carlisle - 3/3/1912 June Havoc - 9/18/1913 Grace Bradley - 9/21/1913 Patricia Morison - 3/19/1915 Dody Goodman - 10/28/1915 Dorothy Dare - 4/4/1916 Olivia de Havilland - 7/1/1916

Frankly I agree with you about the AFI lists. I just enjoyed providing some fodder that indicated that, not only does it not take the earth 365 days to make a full orbit around her life-giving light and warmth, nor did she rise from the dead on the third day to save us from our sins, but there are actually some out there who dare to claim that (gasp) she's not even the brightest star in the cinematic firmament.

The AFI lists Garbo at #5 (for women) and Cagney at #8 (for men). So she wins that round. Alas, Garbo is simply not as big a star as Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman who take the 1-4 spots. Cagney, however, must eternally bow down to Bogart, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Brando, Astaire and Henry Fonda.

Count me in with That Darn Cat! and Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Both of them "cat" flicks from 1965, too.

Paulette Goddard says that line ("where I spit") in The Women, I believe.

You say tomato, I say tomahto. Some guy appeared in a bunch of best picture nominees - I'll leave it to you fine folks to work out the details. If I tried to fix it I'm sure I'd no doubt change it to either John Heard or Mary Beth Hurt. Apparently the spark plugs controlling my synapses are overdue for replacement.

John Hurt had a nice run with: 1983 - The Big Chill (1984 he had no movies released) 1985 - Kiss of the Spider Woman 1986 - Children of a Lesser God 1987 - Broadcast News 1988 - The Accidental Tourist

Yes - thanks for catching that. I was actually typing that while I was checking to see if Now Voyager was nominated in '42 (it wasn't) and got myself all confused.

Bette Davis had a 4-year run: 1938 - Jezebel 1939 - Now Voyager 1940 - All This and Heaven Too 1941 - The Little Foxes

Fredric March had a 4-year run: 1934 - The Barretts of Wimpole Street 1935 - Les Miserables 1936 - Anthony Adverse 1937 - A Star Is Born

It'll be Rosemary's Baby for me. "All of Them Witches"!

Unclenched and extended for a conciliatory handshake here, with great appreciation to tcmprogrammr for offering the explanation. (P.S. I've never actually slugged anyone in my entire life, but it sounded kind of butch to posture about it, particularly in chilvalrous defense of Irene Rich.)

I assume you're looking for the Julie Christie/Terrence Stamp version? When I look on Amazon I see 15 different sellers offering the VHS - both new and used - for as low as $14.00. Perhaps you should take another look there.

...Love Me Tonight (at the Film Forum in NYC, not on TCM) and my cheeks still hurt from smiling so much throughout it. It was an absolutely perfect movie that I could have gone on watching for hours. Mamoulian out-Lubitschs Lubitsch, and his use of rhythm, rhyme and music is inspired. Chevalier, who I can normally take or leave is charming, sexy and funny. Macdonald is as beautiful and appealing as always, and Myna Loy steals every scene she's in. The character actors in supporting roles are all such incredible personalities and talents and everyone involved seemingly effortlessly keeps the movie floating like a bubble. If you haven't seen it (and I hadn't) don't miss it.

I believe this was being posted as a trivia question rather than a bonafide inquiry.

And believe you me I wanted to slug Mr. Osborne for rubbing salt in my open wound!

Curses - I originally thought the face was Judy Canova's, but the outfit is exactly like Ginger Rogers' so I ignored my original instinct.

I'm rich! I'm rich! I never thought I'd live to see that day. If only I had known years ago that all it took was my ability to enjoy widescreen versions of classics on my TV I would have begun enjoying the financial luxury so much sooner.

I guess "The Major and the Minor" and "Half Angel"
