But I'm sure the majority of those directors and screenwriters felt terribly constricted. Husbands and wives couldn't even sleep in the same bed.

Reminds me of a joke......
What's the best thing about being Catholic?

I would be in favor of an early sound tribute month featuring hybrids and talkies from 1928-29.
I would also be in favor of a Monogram month; a Fox pre-Code month; a Republic month; and a Poverty Row month (Liberty, Mascot, Majestic, Chesterfield, Victory, etc.)

The dubbing of those K. Gordon Murray imports was awful. But the films were dripping with atmosphere. I'd like to see the Spanish language versions (with English subtitles) of some of the better ones on TCM Underground.

August is not as bad as February.

They made one film for Columbia, SO THIS IS AFRICA (1933). It's a definite pre-Code and I hope TCM plays it.

She began her career as "June Vlasek" and she appears in CHANDU THE MAGICIAN under that name.

Please tell me Will Smith is not playing Matt Dillon.

Does anyone know if this WB pic has ever played on TCM? I was hoping it would be shown in October...not to be.

> TCM is my favorite channel but in the past few months I have become annoyed by some of the scheduling. I am not opposed to Star of the Month, day, etc or linking by theme or word inside the title. However, all day of Marion Davies is too much. Same for Ma & Pa Kettle. And let us not forget Jungle Jim! It is Turner CLASSIC Movies. Just because it is old does not make it a classic. There is a place for these films on TCM but not a large block of the schedule.

I disagree with this poster's taste. However, I would be happy to see "31 Days of Oscar" jettisoned.

Yesterday was great. I wish more of her contemporaries were represented this month...John Gilbert; William Haines; Ramon Novarro; Wheeler & Woolsey; Lupe Velez...

It's been years since TCM has played it.

Clearly the best day of the month.

Here are 10, off the top of my head...
1. THE LAST WARNING (Universal, 1929)
2. RETURN OF THE TERROR (First National, 1934)
3. DECEPTION (Columbia, 1932)
4. TRICK FOR TRICK (Fox, 1933)
5. Evelyn Ankers @ Universal
6. Olsen & Johnson @ Universal
7. THE GREAT IMPERSONATION (Universal, 1935)
8. NIGHT LIFE OF THE GODS (Universal, 1935)
9. Fay Wray's three 1934 Universal releases
10. Paramount pre-Codes (Bow; Carroll; Wray; Powell; Chevalier; Fields; et al)

Back in 2004, they showed TRICK FOR TRICK (1933) a rare Fox title I'm dying to see. Wish TCM could get their hands on it.

July was a great TCM month.

LOL...that had scam written all over it!

Anyone have a list of his extant silents?

For 20+ years, the classic Universal monsters were on television (supplemented by magazines such as "Famous Monsters" and "Castle of Frankenstein"). Most people were familiar with Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney, Jr. Many even knew John Carradine, Lionel Atwill and George Zucco. Around 1980, these films (and black & white films in general) began disappearing from the general public. The result: little demand for something unfamiliar.

The Gloria Jean post inspired me. Here are 20 leading ladies closely associated with Universal Pictures during the "Golden Age" and the number of Universal features each played in. Wouldn't it be great to see these titles on TCM?...
ANNE GWYNNE = 40
NAN GRAY = 29
EVELYN ANKERS = 28
CONSTANCE MOORE = 26
ANNE NAGEL = 26
PEGGY MORAN = 22
DEANNA DURBIN = 21
MARIA MONTEZ = 20
IRENE HERVEY = 19
PEGGY RYAN = 19
GLORIA JEAN = 18
GLORIA STUART = 18
LOUISE ALLBRITTON = 17
MARTHA O'DRISCOLL = 16
JANE FRAZEE = 14
ANDREWS SISTERS = 13
ELYSE KNOX = 11
VALERIE HOBSON = 10
RAMSAY AMES = 8
ACQUANETTA = 5

Why are you starting with 1935?
-
I don't think Lugosi's NIGHT OF TERROR (1933) has ever played on TCM.

You're not likely to convince me that censorship, repression and suppression are good things. By the way, my favorite movie era is 1929-45, with a particular fondness for the pre-Code era.
