> It would be nice if TCM could show BAD COMPANY (1931), STATE'S ATTORNEY (1932) and maybe they could even get A BEDTIME STORY (1933) from Universal (since it was a Paramount film) to do a Helen Twelvetrees tribute.
All of those played on AMC back in the day, as did IS MY FACE RED? (1932), A WOMAN OF EXPERIENCE (1931) and MILLIE (1931).

We need to see Universal's Carl Laemmle-era talkies (1929-36) on TCM. I would venture to say that many of these features have not been seen since their original release (e.g., Fay Wray's 1934 trio...MADAME SPY; THE COUNTESS OF MONTE CRISTO; CHEATING CHEATERS).

Don't make me list 50 titles!
-
I'm disappointed Lupe Velez didn't get a day in August. She deserves Star of the Month. Ditto Ramon Novarro.
-
I support this 100%! And let's get those rare Universals, PRIVATE JONES (1933) and I'LL TELL THE WORLD (1934), as well as CARNIVAL (Columbia, 1935) co-starring Sally Eilers and Jimmy Durante!

I would be more surprised if a young actor in the repressed 50s in LA or NY did not have a variety of sexual experiences, be it Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Sal Mineo, John Derek, Kevin McCarthy, Tony Curtis, John Saxon, Rock Hudson, George Nader, Jeff Chandler, etc., etc., etc,

Sheer madness!

No one suffered like Helen Twelvetrees. We need to see more of her on TCM!
-
When does TCM's agreement with Columbia/Sony end? There are many Bs and pre-Codes which haven't been shown yet (PAROLE GIRL; FOG; BLACK MOON; THE MISSING JUROR). And several worthy of repeat (THE BIG TIMER; BY WHOSE HAND?; NO MORE ORCHIDS; ATLANTIC ADVENTURE). And what about Columbia serials???
-
Boring, predictable choices. ARRRGGHHH. The bright spot is Marion Davies Day, but a single rose does not a summer make! Looking forward to July, which is sandwiched between two humdrum months.
-
Who cares if Paul Newman (or Dean or Brando or Clift or Mineo) was gay, straight or bisexual? What does it matter? Would anybody care if he was Protestant, Catholic or Jewish?
Remember those lurid HOLLYWOOD BABYLON books? They were a fun read, but totally trashy (apparently, Jayne Mansfield was scalped, not decapitated and Lupe Velez did not die with her head in the toilet). Just enjoy the movies.

What? No SON OF FRANKENSTEIN?!

It seems that for a couple years in a row a few years back, TCM aired a full day of Lee Tracy films, to honor his birthday. I didn't see one film or performance, even his latter 30's/40's bargain-basement budget film stuff was enjoyable to see. But his heyday certainly the pre-code era. > I'd like to see another marathon of his flix, hopefully SUTS???
Ditto.

For something ultra-rare...PRIVATE JONES (Universal, 1933) co-starring Gloria Stuart.
-
Let's see Tracy's CARNIVAL (Columbia, 1935) with Sally Eilers and Jimmy Durante.
-
Fab line-up!
-
Conservative Christian groups would probably cry foul..."TCM supports Islam"; "TCM hates Israel"; ad nauseum.
But I'd love to see Turhan Bey as Star of the Month.
-
The late William K. Everson spoke highly of this film. I'd like to see it for that reason alone.
-
I hope Lee Tracy earns a day in August.
-
A couple of years ago, the Fleming novels were reissued with really cool covers. I bought YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE for the voodoo theme and enjoyed it. They are still in print.

4. TCM Underground
5. Silent Sundays

Enjoy the movie.

Bela Lugosi as Ygor in SON OF FRANKENSTEIN and THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN.

Let's not forget Esther Williams. She stated in her book her he-man boyfriend Jeff Chandler had a fondness for women's clothing.
