End the bold by [/bee] (drop the two "ees," just use the "b").

Could the clip be June Havor singing 'Hello My Baby' in blackface from the film I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now?
Don't mean to critcize, but because of the above spelling, I'm not sure whether you're referring to June Haver, or June Havoc (you're caught right in the middle, between the spelling of the two -- very different -- ladies' names).

Thanks, Frank, you're very kind. I just posted another comment about CASABLANCA that you may wish to read:

As for OMAR KHAYYAM, I'm not saying it's a particularly good movie (how good was any Y. Frank Freeman, jr.-produced film?), but it's colorful and a bit different, though it descends from the aforementioned philosophizing into a standard melodramatic adventure story. It does have a first-rate cast and a very nice Victor Young score, though.

Oooohhh, that's clever! Thirteen years of education at public expense, and that's all you can come up with.
PS: It should be "deleted word," not "depleted."

When Kong climbs the first building and sees the woman with the dark hair sleeping, he reaches in and grabs her. Seeing it is not Ann Darrow, he lets her go and she falls. While I have seen this scene so often before, I never felt the real horror of the scene. I mean, here is a woman peacefully sleeping. She never suspects in her slumber that in a few seconds, she will be awakened as a giant ape's hand grabs her, will be pulled out of the window far above the street below and then will be dropped to her death. Could anything be so horrible as to be asleep, then wake to incredible fright, then die all in a few seconds, without a chance to even think about it? That was not only true horror back then, it still is today.
I couldn't agree more. The implications are indeed nightmarish and awful. Interestingly, the censors later cut some of Kong's mayhem against the natives on Skull Island (eating one unfortunate soul, and trampling another into the ground), but left in the last moments on earth of the Sleeping Woman. One might question the curious selectivity in their reasoning.
The second time I saw CHEYENNE AUTUMN I noticed something ... there is a scene where the Cheyenne are breaking camp, drums are beating, and Gilbert Roland (as a Cheyenne leader) is babbling something to Carroll Baker .. and while all this is going on, a horse walking in the background decides to relieve himself.
Hey, you can't buy authenticity like that.

You can type in the commands, yourself. The problem is, if I type them here, the form executes them, making the explanations bold, italicized, or underlined.
Suffice it to say that the commands b for bold, i for italics, and u for underline should be within brackets -- [], with the end-command adding a slash within brackets [/]

With me, it was OMAR KHAYYAM, still one of my guilty-pleasure movies (an Arabian Nights movie without genies, magic lamps or flying carpets, and a philosophical bent). If it's part of the post-1948 package of films TCM's leased from Paramount, I wish they'd finally
get around to showing it (it used to play all the time on the old AMC).

No, they didn't: the 1982 TV movie version had a score by British composer Laurence Rosenthal.

Devlin isn't a bad guy, he's just got an unpleasant job to do; the stakes are very high, and the consequences of his not doing that job as it needs to be done (Nazis with nukes) are too dire to allow the feelings, or well-being, of Alicia to enter into the equation.
It's the genius of Ben Hecht and Hitchcock to draw Sebastian so sympathetically in the writing and casting, making him a sort of red-herring that places Devlin's machinations in a deliberately stark and unflattering light. It is, in a sense, a kind of fake casting-against type.

Boy, are you sensitive. You know, I don't need an "ignore" feature on this site to ignore you; it comes naturally.

"Seven Brides for Seven Butchers" is obviously the musical adaptation of MARTY.
The film would've actually been far more interesting and dynamic if it had been "Six Brides for Seven Brothers."

You realize, of course, Metz, that in replying to your own postings, you're just like Cosmo Topper conversing with the Kerbys whom no one but he can hear.

I suspect that TCM will offer a high-definition channel when Warner's, and the other studios from whom TCM leases films, have done enough high-def transfers for HD DVD and Blu-Ray that TCM will have a large library to draw on. There's got to be a critical mass number here somewhere, at which point it becomes viable.
Remember that the new MGM and Universal movie channels are already high-def, and TCM surely has their eyes on them, so it's probably just a matter of time.

No, I'm not trying to communicate with dead seer and mentalist Edgar Cayce in the Great Beyond, I'm wondering why TCM never seems to show George Pal's 1960 ATLANTIS, THE LOST CONTINENT, an MGM film that, like Pal's THE TIME MACHINE, THE 7 FACES OF DR LAO and THE POWER, Warner's should own all rights.
Anybody have any ideas as to why the film's AWOL?
-
I dunno...in what movie is there a scene with a guy in a suit **** against an elevator door?
-
Except that you do see Philip Marlowe's (Robert Montgomery's) face whenever he looks into a mirror.

Well, that puts the kibosh on the whole silly idea of "Intelligent Design!"

Aaah, yes: Bush and the Saudis. I never liked that film.
You mean the one with the classic line, "Love means never having to say you're Saudi?"

They've got the Gabriel Pascal C?SAR AND CLEOPATRA up again; let's hope that it isn't dropped from the schedule like the last
time they announced it.

Mervyn LeRoy directed the bulk of MISTER ROBERTS, after Ford was let go by producer Leland Hayward and Jack Warner (under the cover of Ford's becoming ill during production). LeRoy re-cast several roles, including the doctor, bringing in veteran William Powell, and dropping the characterization of the doctor as a drunk).

Some of you are thinking I'm pushing the issue too far. But I've run across people who think Wisconsin is on the East Coast.
Wisconsin is, as everyone knows, on the Cheesed Coast.
