> Has nothing to do with Fox....the Fox studios' rights to the two Holmes films they made, as well as Universal's rights to the ten Holmes they made, ran out and reverted back to the Arthur Conan Doyle estate, which is why all 12 films were eventually picked up and restored and released on DVD by MPI, even though two different studios made the movies with Rathbone. Fox and Universal no longer hold rights to those Holmes movies they made.
I suspected that.

More Columbia Bs and pre-Codes please!

I remember HIMAN from AMC back in the day. Colin Clive was the husband (he's another favorite).
-
It seems many people are under the impression that TCM owns a library of films, and TCM isn't doing much to dispel that.
-
I want to see THE DEFENSE RESTS (1934).
-
A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951) is THE number one Christmas movie. The MGM version with Reginald Owen is also very entertaining.
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is like fruitcake...not especially palatable but a part of the season...Capra-corn.
I'm happy BEN-HUR (1925) is being shown this year.
-
I truly hope Claude will get a day next August (or before!) and his Universal pics will be included.

I gotta soft spot for Nat Pendleton too.

Gimme a Dwight Frye Day!

The highlight is Bogie's LOVE AFFAIR and BIG CITY BLUES. I bought the Rathbone-Holmes collection years ago because I love them and couldn't wait for them to be shown on TCM (it was worth every penny). BTW, I don't think these films are controlled by Universal (and haven't been for years). I'm disappointed that there is no Saturday serial or rare Columbias (except the aforementioned LOVE AFFAIR). An OK month, but it doesn't measure up to May, July or October.

The concept of TCM broadening its appeal by including more 1980s, 90s & 00s titles will, of course, leave less room on the schedule. Be sure not to miss your favorites when they do air, because it could be years before they are shown again. Imagine next August...Mel Gibson Day; Kate Winslet Day; Debra Winger Day; Michael Douglas Day; Gwyneth Paltrow Day. The mind reels.
-
We need to see more of them on TCM!
-
In terms of movies, definitely Bing Crosby.
-
Let's not forget the ever-elusive RETURN OF THE TERROR (1934).
-
Marion Davies, Miriam Hopkins and Jean Arthur were the highlights of August.Where were the Bette Davis pre-Codes?
-
HEROES FOR SALE

MURDERS IN THE ZOO (1933) is scheduled in October...a fab pre-Code.

LOL...the curse of the pentagram!
-
I think May and July were the best months this year.
-
An occasional Paramount title makes it to TCM. TEMPLE DRAKE would be a good one.
-
I don't buy the argument that Gene Hackman will lure fans of more contemporary fare to TCM, where they will suddenly discover Marion Davies and Wheeler & Woolsey and become fans.
-
**** Seymour. OMG. He had a ton of interesting stuff. Too bad it was all crap!
I remember the Universals on WOR-TV when they played weekday afternoons at 4:30, circa 1971-72. It was called Thriller Theater. I keep checking youtube for the intro, but thus far it hasn't appeared. THE MAN WHO RECLAIMED HIS HEAD was part of that package.

Better snarky than Snorky!

There is no reasonable excuse for ISLAND OF LOST SOULS to not be available on DVD. And I think WHITE WOMAN would make a perfect extra.
