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

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"

My apologies for the multiples replies. Each time I hit "post message" the page would clock for a while and then crash, so I assumed the post wasn't actually going through.

Well, one thing that's clear from these old schedules is that for those of us who love films from the early '30s, the squeeze is definitely on now. I looked at the February '98 schedule, and in that month alone TCM showed 65 movies made between 1929-1934. In October '07, there will be 22 movies shown from those years. In fact, for the three months from Sept-Nov '07 the total films for the early '30s is 62, still less than that one month in '98. Additionally, the selections today tend to be much more famous and frequently already on DVD than some of the lesser gems shown a decade ago, which could truly ONLY be found on TCM. I'm not usually one to whine and moan about the state of TCM today, it's still great, but it does sadden me to realize that my access to so many of these films that I'd love to see is minimal at best.

What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end.

And the kudos, of course, go to Ken123 for identifying Bing. I was merely the research assistant.
So, who's going to tell us who the other fellow is?
-
Well, if Herman Bing then the film is most likely His Family Tree which appears to be his only RKO picture that would carry a 1935 copyright (as seen in the small print at the bottom of the photo).

I'll chime in here too. I begrudgingly watched The Set Up earlier this year (I'm not a boxing fan at all, not a particular fan of the actors, and have limited interest in film noir) fully expecting to simply tolerate it. WOW! What an amazing film. I couldn't believe what a whallop it still packs to this day - every moment and every detail of the film is perfect IMHO. It now sits easily among my top 10 all-time favorites. It's further proof for me that you don't have to be a fan of either the genre or the subject matter to really appreciate a great, dare I say it "classic" movie.
Don't miss it!

Hmm - I'll take a stab. Is that Eric Blore and perhaps the film is Diamond Jim?
