TCM On Demand for June 18, 2015 The following features are now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: Kiss Them for Me (1957) -- Cary Grant, Jayne Mansfield, Leif Erickson, Suzy Parker, Ray Walston, Larry Blyden, Nathaniel Frey, Werner Klemperer, Jack Mullaney. Uncredited actors: Richard Deacon, Harry Carey, Jr., John Doucette, Kathleen Freeman, Nancy Kulp, Peter Leeds, Ray Montgomery, Frank Nelson, Maudie Prickett. This was the first of four collaborations between Grant, Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Month for December 2014, and director Stanley Donen. They also worked together on "Indiscreet" (1958), "The Grass Is Greener" (1960) and "Charade" (1963). The military comedy was based on the 1945 Broadway hit by Luther Davis, derived from the 1944 novel "Shore Leave" by Frederic Wakeman Sr. The play's original cast included several future film stars -- Richard Widmark, Judy Holliday and Paul Ford -- as well as Daniel Petrie, an actor who would become an Emmy Award-winning director ("Eleanor and Franklin," "Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years"). The film stars Grant, Walston and Blyden as Navy war heroes who are sent to San Francisco for a well-deserved four-day leave. They hatch a plan to host a wild party at their ritzy hotel, and try their best to ditch the Navy P.R. officer (Klemperer) assigned to them. Suzy Parker, who -- along with her sister Dorian Leigh -- was an early supermodel, made her film debut as the socialite who charms Grant's character. Parker's lines were dubbed by Deborah Kerr, Grant's co-star in another 1957 film, "An Affair to Remember" Mansfield's presence in the film inspired the British band Siouxsie and the Banshees to release the 1991 song titled "Kiss Them for Me." The song makes references to the sex symbol, who was killed in a June 1967 auto accident on her way to New Orleans from Biloxi, Mississippi. Mansfield's driver and her agent/boyfriend also were killed in the crash. Three of her children survived, including a 3 1/2-year-old Mariska Hargitay, now the Emmy Award-winning star of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit." Expires June 24, 2015.

Ladies in Retirement (1941) -- Ida Lupino, Louis Hayward, Evelyn Keyes, Elsa Lanchester, Edith Barrett, Isobel Elsom, Emma Dunn, Queenie Leonard, Clyde Cook. Directed by Charles Vidor ("Gilda," "Love Me or Leave Me"), this drama -- set in the London area -- was based on the 1940 play by Reginald Denham and Edward Percy. The film stars Lupino as Ellen Creed, housekeeper for a wealthy, onetime musical performer (Elsom). Complications ensue when Ellen is forced to find housing for her unusual sisters (Lanchester, Barrett). She arranges to bring them to the household for what turns out to be a fateful visit. The picture received Academy Award nominations for Best Black-and-White Art Direction-Interior Decoration (Lionel Banks and George Montgomery) and Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic Picture (Morris Stoloff and Ernst Toch). Lupino was married to Hayward from 1938 to 1945. Vidor and Keyes were wed in 1944 and divorced a year later.

Expires June 23, 2015. 2. The Night of the Iguana (1964) -- Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, Sue Lyon, Skip Ward, Grayson Hall, Cyril Delevanti, Mary Boylan. Uncredited: Fidelmar Durán, Roberto Leyva. John Huston's film version of the 1961 stage play by Tennessee Williams earned four Academy Award nominations and won the Oscar for Best Black-and-White Costume Design (Dorothy Jeakins). The film also was nominated for Best Supporting Actress (Hall), Best Black-and-White Cinematography (Gabriel Figueroa) and Best Black-and-White Art Direction-Set Decoration (Stephen B. Grimes). Burton stars as the Reverend Dr. T. Lawrence Shannon, a onetime American minister who was forced to leave his Episcopal church because of a scandal involving a younger woman. For two years, he has resided in the town of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and served as a tour guide. Temptation resurfaces for Shannon in the form of nubile teenager Charlotte Goodall (Lyon), who is a member of the defrocked minister's latest tour group -- a party of Baptist women. Charlotte's wary aunt and chaperone Judith Fellowes (Hall) is determined to keep an eye on the young girl's movements as much as possible. Gardner co-stars as Maxine Faulk, who has inherited a Puerto Vallarta hotel from her late husband. Wherever she is, her two maracas-shaking cabana boys Pepe and Pedro (Durán, Leyva) are not far behind. Kerr has the role of Hannah Jelkes, an American stranded in Mexico with her uncle (Delevanti). Burton was nominated for the 1964 Best Actor Oscar, but it was for his portrayal of England's martyred 12th century archbishop of Canterbury in the drama "Becket." The award went to Sir Rex Harrison, who reprised his Broadway role of Henry Higgins in the film version of "My Fair Lady." Despite being nominated for seven Academy Awards during his career, Burton never won an Oscar. Burton's soon-to-be spouse, Elizabeth Taylor, was on hand for the filming of this movie. Their notoriety after their highly publicized affair during the shooting of the epic film "Cleopatra" drew heavy media attention. Their presence also helped popularize Puerto Vallarta as a tourist attraction. Huston would work with Gardner in two other films he directed -- "The Bible" (1966, featuring the actress as Sarah, wife of Abraham) and "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" (1972, in which she appeared as the 19th century actress Lillie Langtry). In February 1964, the NBC series "Hollywood and the Stars" aired an episode titled "On Location: 'The Night of the Iguana'," about the filming of Huston's production in Mexico.

This masterful World War II drama was written directly for the screen by Alistair MacLean, author of two novels that became popular 1960s films -- "The Guns of Navarone" and "Ice Station Zebra." He also wrote a novel based on this movie's screenplay that was published before the release of the film. The film was directed by Brian G. Hutton ("King Creole," "Kelly's Heroes"), who died August 19, 2014 at the age of 79. The action tale stars Burton as Major John Smith, a resourceful British double agent assigned to head a seemingly impossible mission. He must lead a commando unit to retrieve a captured American general (Beatty) from an impenetrable Nazi fortress in the Bavarian Alps. Eastwood, who had just become a major star thanks to Italian director Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, plays Lt. Schaffer, an American Ranger brought along for the special mission. Once the commando raid goes into motion, Smith discovers that someone inside his unit is trying to sabotage the effort. Memorable quote: "Broadsword calling Danny Boy..." -- Burton as Major Smith uses this call sign whenever he tries to contact his British superiors by radio. Burton delivers the line each time with the fervor of an actor performing Shakespeare on stage. And Burton certainly did his share of that! Memorable scene No. 2: Eastwood's Lt. Shaffer tries to hold off advancing Nazi troops in a hallway of the fortress. Hiding behind a corner, he protects himself by sticking out a submachine gun with both hands and firing. Memorable scene No. 3: The surviving members of the commando unit flee the fortress in a tramway car, but their escape is threatened by a gun-toting Nazi force on the ground. Cast notes: Ure, who plays Mary Ellison -- Major Smith's love interest and confidante, received an Academy Award nomination for her supporting performance in "Sons and Lovers" (1960). The Scottish actress was married to British playwright and screenwriter John Osborne ("Look Back in Anger," "The Entertainer") from 1957 to 1963. She also was married to actor-playwright Robert Shaw ("From Russia with Love," "The Sting," "Jaws") from 1963 until her death from an overdose in 1975. Diffring, who co-stars as Colonel Kramer, played numerous German characters in American and British war films throughout the years. One of his best roles was as Hitler's real-life foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop in the 1983 ABC miniseries "The Winds of War."
