If it was Chet Baker he did a great job of impersonating Mel Torme. If it was Mel Torme singing he did a great job impersonating Mel Torme. If it was Frank Sinatra we have a brand new ballgame!

The saddest "Movie" I ever watched was my home movies of Christmas 1963. Most are gone but some laughter remains, the rest is painful. Well you asked the saddest "movie" you didn't specify theater release!

I really didn't know! I really thought it might have been "Chet Baker" I didn't mean to be sarcastic. Now I'm surprised that Mel Torme does a great Mel Torme impersonation!

The first movie that I thought of was Andy Griffith screaming his lungs out from a penthouse balcony at night to Patricia Neal "MARCIA COME BACK" in "A Face in the Crowd" Message was edited by: aftermath

I listened to it what seems forever as I was changing the bedding and it played on and on and on. It made me think of the movie One Two Three when they were playing "Itsy Bitsty Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" to Hurst Buchholz to brainwash him. They should have played "The Third Man Theme" instead. Now whenever I change the sheets I will use the "Third Man Theme" as "Sheet Music! ( Bad Pun?)

As an afterthought to my previous response to this thread I forgot to mention how hilarious it was when Dickie Moore revealed that he didn't know how to dance and in one of the scenes with Shirley Temple his character had to dance almost as good as Gene Kelly. He said they made a rubber mask of his face and used a real dancer to do the scene wearing Moore's rubber masked face. When they showed that scene I almost fell off the couch with laughter and realized that if I watched the entire movie and it came time for that scene I would not have been aware of the rubber masked dancer with Shirley Temple without hearing Mr. Moore's story before watching it.

I think Joseph Cotten and Trevor Howard were a great combination of the characters played in The Third Man. Although Welles had a smaller part than his usual starring roles, he was far superior with his performance than the dreaded "Touch of Evil" to for me is and will be a nightmare to watch. It's funny how to me Welles either is hit or miss with his movies. The fact that he did not direct this film probably made it better than if he did. I never tire of the movie and sometimes have a surrealistic impression while watching it. A classic in every sense of the word! Message was edited by: aftermath

At first I didn't think the blend of actors would be as interesting as it turned out. I appreciated Darrell Hickman's and Dickie Moore's candid reply's about who their favorites and not so favorite Hollywood people while being a child star. Jane Withers stories about Shirley Temple were interesting and Margaret O'Brien's insights were just as interesting. Moore's story on DeMille was very revealing as well as Hickman's story on Tierney. Robert Osborne once again proved just what a first rate interviewer should be. He has a way of making his guest's relax and probably reveal more than they intended at the start of the interview. A very good show, and the hour and a half flew by and left me wanting more. I hope to see more of this style of show on TCM in the near future!

I liked Lover Come Back made in 1961. I like the parts with Tony Randall checking to see how the product called "VIP" is coming along and coming out of the lab after an explosion with a different colored face each time.

Getting Straight - 1970

I know it wasn't a great bio-pic but when the narrator in the Babe Ruth Story with William Bendix said about the new serum the Babe was going to have experimented on him for his throat cancer said "That night Babe Ruth hit his sixty-first home run" with the boys choir singing in the background and Babe being wheeled to the operating room always makes the waterworks run full blast for me!
