Poor Columbia attempted to make a leading man out of Victor Jory in the 30s. Norman Foster had as much sex appeal as Slim Summerville. Stuart Erwin was neither attractive nor funny.

Yes, but he was hung like a...oh, never mind.

I'd like to know what month is currently being programmed. I've never seen that addressed here. If August is already programmed, then why bother making suggestions for SUTS? When should suggestions be made for October? Would it be June or July?

I'm all for it...especially those pre-codes with Constance Bennett. And it would be great if TCM could dig HALF A SINNER (1934) out of the Universal graveyard. It's a comedy and co-stars Sally Blane (Loretta Young's sister), Berton Churchill, Mickey Rooney and (in a bit) Walter Brennan.

That film also has two men dancing together, to which Jolson responds, "Boys will be boys!". I love WONDER BAR.

Suggestions.

I'm waiting for my fave, MASTER MINDS (1949)...three stars from Universal's HOUSE OF DRACULA...Jane Adams, Glenn Strange and Skelton Knaggs!

He was a real looker during the pre-code era, sans moustache.

I'm fairly certain this played on AMC back in the day.

The title is metaphorical. It's an anti-war drama starring Claude Rains, Joan Bennett, Lionel Atwill and Wallace Ford. Would be great to see it on TCM.

Oh my goodness! My first issue was #94 in 1972!

There has been talk (not recently) that TCM has signed a deal with Universal and that was the reason why I listed the 30 "graveyard" titles. TCM has shown rare Columbia titles that I never expected to see on television (e.g., THE BIG TIMER, CIRCUS QUEEN MURDER, BY WHOSE HAND?). Seems we should get some ultra-rare Universals as well.

The vast majority of that 78% is silent.

I would love to see THE BOWERY (1933).

What are the powers that be at TCM doing to bring these films to its audience? I don't know much about the inventory that was destroyed in that fire two years ago, but I don't think these rare titles were stored in that facility. Anyone have real answers as opposed to speculation?
