It really couldn't be that much fun when they have to watch all or most of the movies that come out, including those they know are going to be really bad.

I enjoyed the book, too. But as far as adaptations go, I'd go with this one over any other.

This: http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?threadID=97932&tstart=0 is a link to a web page. You just click on it and it takes you to the page, without your having to type in the address on your browser. Hope that helps. P.S. "web" is short for WorldWideWeb, the Internet.

TCM probably couldn't get the rights to Laura, which is a Fox film. Most of Gene Tierney's films show on Fox Movie Channel 'cause that's where she made a lot of them. One exception is The Mating Season, which was a Paramount movie IIRC.

A long link meaning a long web link...

Oh, believe me, Marty's adaptation is one heck of a lot better than the original RKO version. Way better.

Easier to just post a link, no? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060882/

I'd love to watch those, too!

Probably right.

Yeah, those won't be out a minute too soon!

I don't have a clear favorite. I'm still waiting to screen the movies in the set, plus one that I TiVo'd from the FMC (Little Old New York). At this time, what I'd like to see most is The Gang's All Here but properly restored to its original Technicolor beauty!

I'm not even sure who if anyone could rescue it from PD hell... who would have access to the original negative, if any still exists?

More breathtaking than some of Eleanor Powell's numbers from the 40's?

Any one of those movies would be awesome to have.

So anyone else have a chance to watch it yet?

Well I guess they're about the same as some Broadway shows... heh, well Broadway shows not including The Producers maybe. Come to think of it I don't think I've watched any Broadway shows since Mamma Mia.

I love it, too but haven't seen it in a while. Might give it another viewing but first I need to watch my Alice Faye set!

He did a good job. It's just a very charming musical, and very well cast, too.

I'll give it a try next time I post a long link

I saw Hay Fever with Judy Dench this summer in the UK. How much are tickets over there these days?

Never knew anything about Julie and der Bingle. Surprise for me! Same here!

I'll see if the library has it!

I agree!

Norma Desmond was right! Amen to that!
