TODDFAN

Oooooops!!! That's right. Must've been half asleep...

The Letter 1929 w/Jeanne Engels which was remade as Dark Victory is finally available as an official release by the Warner Archives!!! [www.wbshop.com|http://www.wbshop.com]

This must be too good to be true!! Arguably, the greatest Pre-Code of all time, The Story of Temple Drake is scheduled on TCM on 9/14 @8pm est.

Heads Up!!! TCM is saluting Hal Roach every Wednesday in January: Highlights are 33 Silent Our Gangs, all 6 Harry Langdon Roach shorts, 13 Charley Chase shorts half of which have yet to air, all 40 Laurel & Hardy sound shorts along with most of their features, 6 Taxi Boys shorts, most of which I believe have yet to air and much, much more!!! Thank you TCM!!! This is truly a holiday gift from heaven!!!

Thelma Todd Day was great!!! Thank you TCM. Dollar Dizzy and Hi C's were nice surprises. My only suggestion would have been that instead of showing the Joe E Brown features, Horse Feathers, Monkey Business and Bohemian Girl (Thelma only had a quick cameo) because they've aired some many times lately, would have been to show more shorts like Love Fever with the Boyfriends, a Harry Langdon or two, the other 3 Chase shorts and more Pitts/Kelly. But all in all this was a real gift from TCM!!!

Finally!!!! An entire day on Thelma Todd! Shorts with Charley Chase (Dollar Dizzy, Hi C's, Pip From Pittsburg and more!), Zasu Pitts and Patsy Kelly. Features. Everything! Clear out the DVR! All I can say is, "It's about time!". Love you TCM!! Edited by: TODDFAN on May 25, 2010 9:10 AM

The TV movie on Thelma Todd starring Loni Anderson was a travesity. Don't waste your time or money. It was based on a book that didn't have one word of truth in it.

On closer examination, these won't be out until summer and fall. On well. I've waited this long.....

It doesn't look as if they're available to order yet, but I'll keep checking. Thanks.

They look great, but are these German sets with another region code and how would you go about ordering them?

Apparently, it must have been my cable company. This is the 3rd time I've missed my chance on this film. Can't win.

Just great!! God knows when and if this'll air again......

Did anyone else notice a black out signal about 18 minutes in on today's showing of Between Two Worlds? I've been waiting for this film to air again because I missed it last time and I get a several minute blackout!!!

Finally watched Vol 1 and while I'm thrilled to finally have these films, the only true noir was Two of a Kind and did enjoy that one. I would definitely recommend Vol 2 over Vol 1 hands down. Hopefully more of these volumes will follow, especially if they're with Cleo Moore!
