THE MONSTER AND THE GIRL (1941) and FLESH AND FANTASY (1943)

W.C. Fields in MILLION DOLLAR LEGS, TILLIE AND GUS, MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH, SIX OF A KIND, MISSISSIPPI, etc.

What is happening? Are there negotiations? When will we see titles like UP FOR MURDER, AFRAID TO TALK, SCANDAL FOR SALE, THE CROSBY CASE, HALF A SINNER, GIFT OF GAB, NIGHT LIFE OF THE GODS, the Crime Club series, ZANZIBAR, DRUMS OF THE CONGO, FLESH AND FANTASY, GYPSY WILDCAT and LADIES COURAGEOUS on TCM? Same goes for Paramount pre-Codes. Why aren't more people talking abouth this?

> {quote:title=calvinnme wrote:}{quote}Thanks for the input guys. I'm working on the schedule now. I have to travel soon, but I'll get as much done as I can. I can tell you that Spencer Tracy is star of the month in October and his night is Mondays. Totally unimpressed...unless they show his early Fox Films - which of course they won't.

> {quote:title=Swithin wrote:}{quote}I'm waiting for The Creeper (1948); and The Fall of the House of Usher (1949 version by Ivan Barnett -- my favorite version of the Poe story). Also a series of Mexican horror including Black Pit of Dr. M. (the dubbed version) and The Brainiac (one of the craziest movies ever made). How about THINGS HAPPEN AT NIGHT (1948) a British comedy and probably the first film to feature a poltergeist?

This doesn't bode well.

Oh the anticipation. Please don't let it suck.

Electro-shock therapy.

1939 is overhyped. Gimme a pre-Code year like 1932 or 1933 (and THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD was released in 1938).

Sorry johnbabe, this was NOT a B-pic. We know you love Garbo. Chill out.

I don't know about the worst film, but the worst programming decision was TCM showing Jacques Cousteau television specials.

I watched a soap back in the 70s called ANOTHER WORLD. Twins Michael & Marianne Randolph grew into adults, but their parents, John & Pat Randolph, never aged. Jamie Frame grew up too, but his mother, Rachel, never aged. Same with Dennis Carrington. He became an adult, but his mother Iris never aged.

> {quote:title=HomesoulM wrote:}{quote}I see some of those films on either Antenna TV or MeTV. TCM is much different than those networks because of no commericial interruption. I hope they will be back on TCM soon. They haven't been seen on TCM. I doubt if they've turned up elsewhere on the tube.

Prior to that time quite a few of the Columbia films from the 30's aired on TCM. Are you certain of that? 1930s Columbias were being shown this spring (THE MAN WITH TWO LIVES, IT HAPPENED IN HOLLYWOOD).

Bumping this up (it's been a year).

Won't be long before we know how good - or bad - the October schedule will be.

ZANZIBAR and DRUMS OF THE CONGO would make a neat double feature.

When will we see RETURN OF THE TERROR (FN, 1934) on TCM?

How about Bela Lugosi as SOTM in October?

And maybe restored versions of THE LAST WARNING (Univ., 1929) and SEVEN FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN (FN, 1929).
