Kudos to you path for this wonderful summary of the films of the master Alfred Hitchcock. Well done. Of course my top 10 Hitchcock films are included here since you didn't leave an essential pearl unturned. In any event my top 5 Hitch films are: 1. "Psycho"2. "Shadow of a Doubt" 3. "Notorious"4. "Strangers on a Train"5. "Frenzy" Is there any particular reason you left off "Lifeboat"? Mongo

Kudos to TCM for the showing of the wonderful movie "HUD" shown in letterbox (might I add). It's always a pleasure to give credit where credit is due. Mongo

Thanks for the info moira regarding the lovely Miss Dowling. Indeed she was wonderful in "The Lost Weekend" and "The Blue Dahlia" and its just too bad that she wasen't used to better advantage by the Hollywood studios. May she rest in peace. Mongo

Coffeedan congrats to you on your purchase of the DVD and those fabulous movies. I have the two Jolson movies and you will love the color in these films plus the stunning performance of Larry Parks as well as the rest of the cast. Mongo

So glad to hear that your up and about birchkitty. The two movies that you mention "The Apartment" and "The Goodbye Girl" are terrific and also favorites of mine. And remember if you ever want to discuss a movie, most of us here on the boards we'll be happy to oblige. It was certainly nice hearing from you again. Mongo

For your information slappy, Patricia Neal won the Oscar for Best Actress in "Hud" and Melvyn Douglas won for Best Supporting Actor. Also "Hud" is my second favorite Paul Newman role with top honors going to "Cool Hand Luke". Mongo

Julee I'm afraid this will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I recall seeing some of these newsreels at the movies from three major studios, Paramount which I believe had the caption "The eyes and ears of the world", 20th Century-Fox and Warner Brothers which I believe had a rooster crowing. Between the 3 they made countless newsreels during the 1940s which leads me to believe that your search will be difficult. However there should be archives for such material perhaps even at the library. If I get a lead on anything I will be sure to let you know. Mongo

YES feaito, you nabbed it. Congratulations! It's your turn to play. Mongo

Clue # 2 A betrothed maiden

Wow, I can't believe it either lolite. Here goes... Clue # 1 The Caribbean

"Wait Until Dark"?

I'll go with "From Here to Eternity", "Suddenly" and "Young at Heart". Mongo

Although Garland had her fair share of hits last night (including #1 "Over the Rainbow") I was surprised she didn't make the list with "You Made Me Love You" singing to the Gable photograph. Also missing "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing", "Circle of Life", "Lullaby of Broadway", "Born Free", "All the Way", "Be a Clown", "You'll Never Walk Alone" etc. etc. And where did "Suicide is Painless" come from? And "Road to Morocco"?, "Ain't to Proud to Beg"?, "Come What May"? "Springtime for Hitler"? etc. In any event CBS did a good job and the brief clips were worth the trip. Mongo

You hit the bullseye path. Congratulations! It's your turn to play. Mongo

"Madame Curie"?

The movie is indeed "Lili" (1953) with Leslie Caron and it is available on VHS. Mongo
