  1. Continued from the previous section: Movie crossover reference: In Woody Allen's 1986 comedy "Hannah and Her Sisters," his hypochondriac character Mickey contemplates suicide until he attends a movie screening of "Duck Soup." Expires July 12, 2015. 2. The Misfits (1961) -- Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, Eli Wallach, James Barton, Kevin McCarthy, Estelle Winwood. Directed by John Huston ("The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"), this bleak 1960s Western proved to be a star-crossed project behind the scenes. It was Gable's last film (the 59-year-old actor suffered a heart attack two days after finishing it, and died 10 days later, on November 16, 1960). It also was Monroe's final completed film before her death at age 36 of an overdose on August 5, 1962. The playwright Arthur Miller, Monroe's third husband, never again wrote an original screenplay for a film. Before the movie was released on February 1, 1961, he and Monroe had decided to end their marriage. Clift, who had serious health problems, appeared in only three more films after this one, and he died on July 23, 1966 at the age of 45. Ritter, who plays Isabelle Steers, would continue to work until her death from a heart attack on February 5, 1969. She is tied with Deborah Kerr and Glenn Close for the most Academy Award nominations by an actress without a win -- six. Wallach, the film's longest-living cast member, died June 24, 2014 at the age of 98. On November 13, 2010, he was presented an honorary Academy Award "for a lifetime's worth of indelible screen characters." The film stars Monroe as Roslyn Tabor, a recently divorced woman who enchants aging cowboy Gay Langland (Gable) and his friend, rodeo rider Perce Howland (Clift). Set in Nevada, the movie's title refers to a group of wild mustangs that Gay hopes to lasso and sell as dog food. Of course, the title has a double meaning as well. Memorable scene: Roslyn displays her prowess at paddleball in a bar, and wins $145 for her efforts. She also nearly ignites a brawl because of it. Memorable dialogue: These were the final lines ever spoken by Monroe and Gable in a film release -- Roslyn: How do you find your way back in the dark? Gay: Just head for that big star straight on. The highway's under it. It'll take us right home. Expires July 12, 2015. 3. The Thanhouser Studio and the Birth of American Cinema (2014) -- This documentary by Ned Thanhouser tells the story of his family's film studio, which produced more than a thousand pictures between 1910 and 1917. Expires July 12, 2015.
  2. TCM On Demand for July 6, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 4. West Side Story (1961) -- Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, Simon Oakland, John Astin. Based on the Broadway musical and derived from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," this movie won 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Co-directed by Oscar winners Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, it is the tale of rival gangs in New York City and how that rivalry affects star-crossed lovers Maria (Wood) and Tony (Beymer). This was the first of four films -- "My Fair Lady" (1964), "The Sound of Music" (1965) and "Oliver!" (1968) were the others -- to become Best Picture-winning musicals during the decade. After that, no musical would win the top Oscar award until the 2002 production of "Chicago." Oscars also went to Moreno and Chakiris for their supporting roles. The classic score (music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim) includes the songs "Something's Coming," "Mambo," "Maria," "America," "Tonight," "Gee, Officer Krupke" and "Somewhere." In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked this film No. 41 on its list of the 100 greatest movies of all time. When AFI updated the list in 2007, the film dropped several notches to No. 51. In 2006, the film placed second on AFI's ranking of the top 25 film movie musicals of all time. It finished behind "Singin' in the Rain" (1952) and ahead of "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), "The Sound of Music" (1965) and "Cabaret" (1972). It also landed three entries in AFI's 2004 survey of the top 100 movie songs of all time. "Somewhere" was No. 20, followed by "America" (No. 35) and "Tonight" (No. 59). One of 12: Moreno's Oscar was the first of the four major entertainment awards that she won. She became one of only 12 people to achieve EGOT status -- winning at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. She received a 1971-1972 Grammy as a cast member for the soundtrack album of "The Electric Company"; a 1975 Tony as Best Featured Actress in a Play for "The Ritz"; and late 1970s Emmys for guest appearances on "The Muppet Show" and "The Rockford Files." On December 6, 2015, Moreno was among the performers recognized at the annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C. Also named as honorees: filmmaker George Lucas, actress Cicely Tyson, singer-songwriter Carole King and orchestral conductor Seiji Ozawa. Reunion in Washington State: Almost 30 years after this film was released, Beymer and Tamblin co-starred in David Lynch's much-talked about 1990 television drama "Twin Peaks." Set in a fictional Northwestern town with a dark underside, the series is slated to be revived and updated for Showtime. No word yet on whether Beymer and Tamblin will return as their original characters. Continued in the next section:
  3. Continued from the previous section: Media crossover reference No. 1: In 2000, Gap began airing television commercials based on popular dance sequences from "West Side Story," including "Mambo" and "Cool": Media crossover reference No. 2: In a 2009 episode of his HBO comedy series "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Larry David becomes obsessed with the song "Gee, Officer Krupke" -- and it gets him into trouble. He even has a couple of encounters with a real NYPD officer named Krupke (Michael G. Coleman). Expires July 12, 2015.
  4. Thanks! Maybe it will happen. It would be nice to hear some of Robert Wagner's anecdotes about the making of the movie, too.
  5. The 1952 film biography of bandleader John Philip Sousa (portrayed with a no-nonsense flair by Clifton Webb) would seem to be an appropriate selection for each and every Independence Day. Could there be a problem in clearing it with Fox? The movie may be heavily fictionalized, but you can't beat Sousa's patriotic marches. I also love Webb's performance, although Robert Osborne apparently still cringes at the thought of the actor passing up a meaty role in "The Band Wagon" (1953). And I like Webb's co-stars: Ruth Hussey (as Mrs. Sousa), and Robert Wagner and Debra Paget as family friends. Oh, well! Maybe next year!
  6. TCM On Demand for July 5, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 1. 1776 (1972) -- William Daniels, Howard Da Silva, Ken Howard, Blythe Danner, Virginia Vestoff, Donald Madden, John Cullum, David Ford, Roy Poole, Ron Holgate, Ray Middleton, William Hansen, Emory Bass, Ralston Hill, Howard Caine, Patrick Hines, William Duell, Daniel Keyes, Leo Leyden, Stephen Nathan, Jonathan Moore, James Noble, John Myhers, Rex Robbins, Charles Rule. This film version of the 1969 Tony Award-winning musical -- about the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence -- was the last production by former Warner Bros. studio mogul Jack L. Warner. It was directed by Peter H. Hunt ("Give 'em Hell, Harry!"), based on the musical's book by Peter Stone and music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards. Many of the actors, including Daniels and Da Silva, reprised their roles from the stage version. Set during the sweltering Philadelphia summer of 1776, the film revolves around the Second Continental Congress, comprised of delegates from the 13 American colonies fighting to sever ties with Great Britain. The unlikely catalyst for the push for independence is the outspoken Massachussetts delegate John Adams (Daniels), who admits that he is ”obnoxious and disliked.” To Adams' dismay, he is asked to help draft the Declaration with delegates Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania (Da Silva), Roger Sherman of Connecticut (Myhers), Robert Livingston of New York (Robbins) and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia (Howard). The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography (Harry Stradling, Jr.). Among the songs performed are "Sit Down, John," "Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve," "Till Then," "The Lees of Old Virginia," "But Mr. Adams," "He Plays the Violin," "Mama Look Sharp," "The Egg," "Molasses to Rum" and "Is Anybody There?" Memorable scene: On May 8, 1776, Adams pushes the Congress for a vote on independence. His fellow delegates just want him to sit down and shut up. Memorable scene No. 2: The film re-creates the correspondence between Adams in Philadelphia and his wife Abigail (Vestoff) in Braintree, Massachusetts by having them "converse." From 1993 to 2000, Daniels starred in the ABC sitcom "Boy Meets World" as George Feeny, a teacher who eventually becomes the principal at John Adams High School in Philadelphia. He has reprised the character in episodes of the series' sequel, "Girl Meets World," now on The Disney Channel. Howard, who had served as president of the Screen Actors Guild/AFTRA union since 2009, died on March 23, 2016 at the age of 71. Expires July 11, 2015.
  7. TCM On Demand for July 5, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 2. The Music Man (1962) -- Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, Paul Ford, Pert Kelton, The Buffalo Bills, Timmy Everett, Susan Luckey, Ron Howard (billed as Ronny Howard), Harry Hickox, Charles Lane, Mary Wickes, Sara Seegar, Adnia Rice, Peggy Mondo, Jesslyn Fax, Monique Vermont. Uncredited: Rance Howard, Percy Helton, Max Showalter, Elaine Joyce, Barbara Pepper, Hank Worden, Ronnie Dapo. This Technicolor screen version of Meredith Willson's stage musical won the Academy Award for Best Music, Scoring of Music, Adaptation or Treatment (Ray Heindorf). It also received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, (Morton DaCosta, producer), Best Color Art Direction-Set Decoration (Paul Groesse, George James Hopkins), Best Color Costume Design (Dorothy Jeakins), Best Film Editing (William H. Ziegler) and Best Sound (George Groves, Warner Bros.). Preston reprised his 1957 Tony Award-winning stage performance as traveling con man Harold Hill, who comes up with a master scheme to bilk the good townspeople of River City, Iowa. But he finds himself ill-prepared for the resourcefulness of the local librarian, Marian Paroo (Jones), who smells a rat. He also begins falling in love with her. Among the memorable songs performed in the film are: "Ya Got Trouble," "Marian The Librarian," "Gary, Indiana," "Till There Was You" and "Seventy-Six Trombones." This was one of three films directed by DaCosta, who spent the majority of his career working on stage productions. His film debut was the 1958 screen version of "Auntie Mame." He also directed the 1963 comedy "Island of Love," which also starred Preston. Expires July 11, 2015.
  8. TCM On Demand for July 5, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 3. Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) -- James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Rosemary DeCamp, Jeanne Cagney, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning, George Tobias, Eddie Foy, Jr., Frances Langford, George Barbier, S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall, Walter Catlett, Minor Watson, Chester Clute, Odette Myrtil, Douglas Croft, Patsy Parsons, Captain Jack Young. After years of playing numerous movie tough guys, Cagney won his only Academy Award for playing real-life song-and-dance man George M. Cohan (1878-1942) in this Best Picture-nominated biography and musical. The production was directed by Michael Curtiz, who was nominated for an Oscar himself, but lost to Willliam Wyler of "Mrs. Miniver." Curtiz would win the following year for his work on "Casablanca," which was named Best Picture of 1943. The Cohan biopic was released on June 6, 1942, five months before the film's subject died at the age of 64. Despite his famous line in the movie's title song, Cohan actually was born on July 3rd. Among his other famous songs performed in the movie are: "Over There," "You're a Grand Old Flag," "Give My Regards to Broadway," "Mary's a Grand Old Name" and "Harrigan." In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked this film at No. 100 on a list of the top 100 movies of all time. Also, Cohan's traditional sign off after his stage performances with his family was ranked No. 97 on the AFI's 2005 list of the 100 greatest movie quotes of all time. The film also won Oscars for Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture (Ray Heindorf and Heinz Roemheld) and Best Sound, Recording (Nathan Levinson). Its other nominations were for Best Supporting Actor (Huston), Best Writing, Original Story (Robert Buckner) and Best Film Editing (George Amy). Memorable scene: After meeting with President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Young) in his office, Cohan literally dances his way out of the White House. Cagney again portrayed Cohan in the 1955 musical film "The Seven Little Foys," which starred Bob Hope as Eddie Foy, Sr. In an unforgettable moment, the friendly rivals Cohan and Foy compete at the Friars Club in a boisterous dance-off on a table. Leslie, who played Cohan's fictionalized wife Mary, was 17 years old when the film biography was released. She died on October 12, 2015 at the age of 90. Whorf, who appears as Cohan's longtime business partner Sam Harris, went on to direct numerous episodes of such television series as "The Beverly Hillbillies," "My Three Sons" and "Gunsmoke." Expires July 11, 2015.
  9. TCM On Demand for July 4, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 1. The Big Clock (1948) -- Ray Milland, Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Sullivan, George Macready, Rita Johnson, Elsa Lanchester, Harold Vermilyea, Dan Tobin, Harry Morgan (billed as Henry Morgan), Richard Webb, Elaine Riley, Luis Van Rooten, Lloyd Corrigan, Frank Orth, Margaret Field. Uncredited: Noel Neill, Lane Chandler. This film noir effort was directed by John Farrow ("Five Came Back," "His Kind of Woman") -- husband of O'Sullivan and father of actress Mia Farrow. The drama was based on the 1946 novel by Kenneth Fearing. Milland stars as New York crime magazine editor George Stroud, who becomes increasingly fed up with the meddling of overbearing publisher Earl Janoth (Laughton). For one thing, Janoth is obsessed with time, clocks and the minutiae of everyday life. For another, Janoth seems determined to block Stroud's plans for a long-delayed honeymoon with his wife of five years (O'Sullivan). The drama takes a serious turn when Janoth murders his mistress Pauline York (Johnson) in a fit of anger. Next thing you know, the publisher -- needing someone to blame for the slaying --arranges to have Stroud lead a search for a man recently seen with Miss York. As it turns out, Stroud is that man, although he barely knew the woman. The film was remade in 1987 as "No Way Out," a Washington, D.C.-based thriller starring Kevin Costner, Sean Young and Gene Hackman and featuring one of the great surprise endings of the decade. It was one of two summer releases that made Costner a major star. The other picture was "The Untouchables." Memorable quote: "Sit down, gentlemen. Sit down. I resent this. I resent this deeply. There are 2,081,376,000 seconds in the average man's life, each tick of the clock the beat of a heart. And yet you sit here uselessly ticking your lives away because certain members of our conference are not on schedule." --Janoth, when Stroud is late for a meeting in the conference room. Expires July 10, 2015.
  10. TCM On Demand for July 4, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 2. The Long Goodbye (1973) -- Elliott Gould, Nina van Pallandt, Sterling Hayden, Mark Rydell, Henry Gibson, Henry Gibson, David Arkin, Jim Bouton, Warren Berlinger, Jo Ann Brody, Stephen Coit, Jack Knight, Pepe Callahan, Vincent Palmieri, Pancho Córdova, Enrique Lucero, Rutanya Alda, Jack Riley. Uncredited: Arnold Schwarzenegger, David Carradine, Danny Goldman, Carl Gottlieb, Kate Murtagh, George Wyner. Director Robert Altman's 1970s take on the film noir genre stars Gould as the durable private detective Philip Marlowe. The movie's eclectic cast includes: a headliner from a notorious international hoax; a onetime major league pitcher turned controversial author; an accomplished director making a return to acting; and an Austrian bodybuilding champion who became an action-film superstar and then governor of the most populous American state. The film was derived from the 1953 novel by the great Raymond Chandler, who created Marlowe in the late 1930s. The screenplay was adapted by Leigh Brackett, who co-wrote the 1946 film version of Chandler's "The Big Sleep," which starred Humphrey Bogart as Marlowe. Set in the Southern California of the early 1970s, the offbeat drama follows Marlowe's connection to an apparent murder-suicide case involving a longtime friend Terry Lennox (played by former New York Yankees pitcher Bouton). The detective also is hired by Eileen Wade (Van Pallandt), the elegant-looking wife of a missing author (Hayden) who has been suffering from writer's block. Meanwhile, Marlowe is menaced by an impulsive mobster named Mickey Augustine (Rydell), who believes the detective knows the whereabouts of a large sum of money. The detective: Gould, who had worked with Altman in the hit 1970 black comedy "M*A*S*H," became one of several actors who played Marlowe onscreen. Among the others: Bogart, Dick Powell ("Murder, My Sweet," 1944), Robert Montgomery ("Lady in the Lake," 1947), George Montgomery ("The Brasher Doubloon," 1947) and James Garner ("Marlowe," 1969). After this film was released, Robert Mitchum played the detective twice -- in "Farewell, My Lovely" (a 1975 remake of "Murder, My Sweet") and a 1978 remake of "The Big Sleep." The femme fatale: The Danish-born Van Pallandt became part of a cause célèbre in 1972 when her lover Clifford Irving emerged with an autobiography of Howard Hughes purportedly written with the cooperation of the reclusive billionaire. Hughes and his minions declared that the story wasn't true. When the ruse was exposed, the February 21, 1972 issue of Time magazine featured a portrait of Irving by the infamous art forger Elmyr de Hory with the caption "Con Man of the Year." Van Pallandt helped expose the hoax by revealing that Irving was with her in Mexico during the time of his supposed collaboration with Hughes. She became a celebrity and went on to appear in several other films, including the Altman films "A Wedding" (1978) and "Quintet" (1979). She also appeared in "American Gigolo," (1980) "Cutter's Way" (1981) and "The Sword and the Sorcerer" (1982). The murder suspect: Bouton played with the Yankees from 1962 to 1968 and was a member of three World Series teams. In 1970, he caused a stir with the publication of his book "Ball Four," a tell-all chronicle of his career with the Yankees and a tumultuous 1969 season as a member of the Seattle Pilots expansion team (now the Milwaukee Brewers). The book might seem tame today. In fact, it is now considered to be one of the great sports tome of all time. But Bouton's revelations about high profile teammates such as Mickey Mantle and Joe Pepitone made him persona non grata in many baseball circles. For instance, he was not invited to participate in an Old Timers' Day ceremony at Yankee Stadium until 1998, when he was 59 years old. After his appearance in Altman's film, Bouton starred as Jim Barton in "Ball Four," a fictionalized 1976 CBS comedy based on his book. It lasted only five episodes. The mobster: This was the first acting role in years for Rydell, who had turned to directing such feature films as "The Fox" (1967), "The Reivers" (1969) and "The Cowboys" (1972). His film "Cinderella Liberty," which received three Academy Award nominations, was released eight months after Altman's film. Rydell went on to direct Gould in "Harry and Walter Go to New York" (1976) and Bette Midler in her Oscar-nominated performances in "The Rose" (1979) and "For the Boys" (1991). His greatest achievement as a filmmaker was "On Golden Pond" (1981), which was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. It won Oscars for Henry Fonda (Best Actor), Katharine Hepburn (Best Actress) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Ernest Thompson, from his 1978 play). The henchman: This was only the second screen appearance by Schwarzenegger, uncredited as one of Augustine's henchman. He had co-starred with comic actor Arnold Stang in a 1970 low-budget feature film titled "Hercules in New York." He was billed as "Arnold Strong." Schwarzenegger had gained a following through his prowess as a bodybuilder (he was Mr. Olympia seven times between 1970 and 1980). But he continued to appear in films, including "Stay Hungry" (1976), "The Villain" (1979) and "Conan the Barbarian" (1981) and its 1984 sequel "Conan the Destroyer." He attained superstardom in the 1984 sci-fi sleeper hit "The Terminator" which spawned four sequels. Schwarzenegger has appeared in three: "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991), "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" (2003) and the 2015 summer release "Terminator Genisys." From November 17, 2003 to January 3, 2011, Schwarzenegger put his acting career on hold after his election as California's 38th governor. He was elected as a Republican in a 2003 recall action that unseated the previous governor, Democrat Gray Davis. Expires July 10, 2015.

  17. TCM On Demand for July 2, 2015 The following features are now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 1. Jeremiah Johnson (1972) -- Robert Redford, Will Geer, Delle Bolton, Josh Albee, Joaquín Martínez, Allyn Ann McLerie, Stefan Gierasch, Richard Angarola, Paul Benedict, Charles Tyner, Jack Colvin, Matt Clark. Uncredited: Tanya Tucker. Sydney Pollack directed Redford in Western tale of a U.S. Army veteran who becomes a legendary mountain man in the Rocky Mountains during the mid-19th century. This was one of many film collaborations between Pollack and Redford, who met as young actors during the filming of "War Hunt," a 1962 drama about the Korean conflict. After Pollack turned to directing in the mid-1960s, he and Redford teamed up for other projects, including "The Way We Were" (1973), "Three Days of the Condor" (1975), "The Electric Horseman" (1979), "Out of Africa" (1985) and "Havana" (1990). In the following clip, Johnson fends off attacks by Crow warriors who make life difficult for him throughout the movie: Memorable quote: "These here is God's finest sculpturing. And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches except for this right here! And there ain't no priests excepting the birds! By God, I are a mountain man, and I'll live until an arrow or a bullet finds me!" -- Del Gue, the colorful trapper played by Gierasch, talking about life in the mountains.

Little Big Man (1970) -- Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Martin Balsam, Jeff Corey, Richard Mulligan, Aimée Eccles, Kelly Jean Peters, Carole Androsky, William Hickey, M. Emmet Walsh. This Western comedy by Arthur Penn ("The Miracle Worker," "Bonnie and Clyde") was based on Thomas Berger's 1964 novel. Hoffman stars as 121-year-old Jack Crabb, who tells a historian (Hickey) the colorful story of how he became the only white survivor of Custer's Last Stand in 1876. The film, which presents a sympathetic portrayal of Native Americans, earned the 71-year-old George an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He was a chief of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation in British Columbia. Dunaway, who became a major star in "Bonnie and Clyde," appears as Louise Pendrake, a minister's wife who goes through a personal evolution. General George Armstrong Custer is portrayed by Mulligan, the Emmy Award-winning actor probably best known for his years as Burt Campbell on the 1970s ABC sitcom "Soap." This was one of the earliest feature film appearances by Walsh, who would go on to become a solid veteran character actor. In the following clip, Crabb's tomboyish sister Caroline (Carole Androsky) teaches him to become a gunfighter: Expires June 8, 2015.

Be honest -- and unmerciful." -- Rock journalist Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman) in Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous" (1980), passing on words of wisdom to promising teen music writer William Miller (Patrick Fugit).
