They must not run it more 10-12 times a day! Don't get me wrong, it's very interesting, but I don't think I have ever seen a clip run as often as this one! It's after every film I record! It can't just be me, is it???

That's what I get for not remembering the titles!

Hi! There are two versions of the film . 1930 is called *Outward Bound* (the title of the play, I just read) and stars Leslie Howard, Douglas Fairbanks Jr and others http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021225/ The 1944 version with John Garfield and many others is *Between Two Worlds*. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036641/ I have both, but have only seen the later version. Need to watch the earlier version one of these days.

Well, I see some now, might as well post the info! Tonight, (11th)After the Long, Long, Trailer at 10 PM EST 11:40pm [short Film] *Desi Arnaz And His Orchestra (1946)* The multi-talented Desi Arnaz displays his love of music in this fun short.

The first 3 minutes of this Vitaphone Melody Master feature Phil Spitalny's orchestra playing popular music. The band's singer then fantasizes about her experience when she first arrived in America, looking for "Uncle Phil." As she wanders through the various ethnic neighborhoods of New York City (the Bowery; Hester Street; Mott Street; Harlem), music associated with each area is heard. She finally hears music from her homeland being played in a restaurant and is united with her relatives.

I remember seeing the film years and years ago...I recall Edward Everett Horton never said a word! Is that correct??? I think he had a stroke near the end of his life, I don't know if that's the reason, or that was the way the role was "written"

> {quote:title=lzcutter wrote:}{quote} .... > I liked Rose. I thought she did a good job as the *Essentials* co-host. In fact, since they changed the format to a co-host with Robert O, I think Rose is my favorite so far. I think she did a much better job of talking about the films and engaging with Robert O about the films then either Molly Haskell or Carrie Fisher did.... Exactly! The other two almost seemed to think it should be a Siskel and Ebert adversarial kind of thing.

> {quote:title=phiz50 wrote:}{quote} > I am surprised that no one has mentioned "A Kiss Before the Mirror". This classic pre-code directed by James Whale has been difficult to find and TCM has it scheduled. Three very big cheers!!! Wow, Nancy Carroll and Gloria Stuart! One reviewer on imdb back in 1999 said..."Gloria Stuart(who has a brief,surprising nude scene-we see her back as she strips) Well, her back ain't exactly nude, but still, makes it all the more interesting to see....

OMG!!!! She voted for McCain????? Now I am really sorry to see her go! From dating Marilyn Manson to voting for McCain....some people do wise up with age! Seriously Kim, I don't know how you can say she didn't know anything about classic films, that Miley Cyrus would be better...she may not know what Robert does(but then who does?) but she has a love for classic films, and they worked well together. Lucky for Robert, Alec only screams at Women and little girls....

> {quote:title=hamradio wrote:}{quote} > I noticed the "Grindhouse" double feature movie posters behind her. I noticed something(s) else. I thought she was surprisingly good, she knows her classic film, and I thought she was pretty good from Robert, much better than Carrie, or the snippy critic who's name escapes me right now. Alec...I just think of him as the guy he screamed at his daughter for forgetting to have her phone turned on for a call....he so clearly wanted to scare the ___ out of her. Not someone I care two sh*ts about so, I won't bother watching essentials this year.

Had to back up a few pages, but that is a truly amazing photo of Carol Lynley! She looks older than Eva Marie Saint. And what is more amazing, is that when she was in her mid 40's she looked at least 10 years younger

And nice to not see the films only going back 10-15 years like most weekly mags would do. To pick only 10 films is in it's way silly and pointless, but...a list like this is still interesting. And It's a Wonderful Life should be there, and Red River shouldn't! Had to edit because I hit the space bar before tying the 3rd line, which meant it disappeared on me!!!

> {quote:title=filmlover wrote:}{quote} > If you didn't get to order them, don't worry. I have these from when they came out originally and they were for the most part very bad disc pressings. The discs usually had scratched from being double-sided and pressed into poor packages. Often the films would freeze or not play. I don't know about now, but Universal suffered for a long time with very poor package quality control. All of the Legacy series they produced back them with multiple titles in them suffered. I have the Dracula set, don't recall having problems with it, but I sure did with either volume one or two of the Abbott and Costello sets that were double sided. Of course I discovered that months after buying them. I think I read a bit about that "issue" on amazon awhile back. Its sad that Universal has skimmed on sets, or didn't bother to restore films at all(Like the Marx bros set) They are sitting on a lot of good films.....

I don't even recall how I found the sale on amazon, but they are $23 now....

Chip, thanks for that info, will definitely check them out!!!

I guess like others here, if you like Pre code, you have seen these movies already. I think everyone of them ran during William Wellman month earlier this year, well, last year. (go ahead tell me it was really 2007!) OTHER MEN'S WOMEN is an interesting movie in more ways than one, good beginning, bogged down middle, then Grant Whithers is less annoying, and ***Spoiler Alert*** Regis Toomey's final scene on the train, that look of relaxation as he is about to cross the bridge, almost makes up for the bulk of the film, IMHO. Wish they would toss us a bone in one of these sets....

Thanks Pat! Lets see if I can remember in a few days! Funny how the next few days lineup showed up later the same day!

> {quote:title=ChipHeartsMovies wrote:}{quote} > Over the holidays I picked up what appeared to be a cheapie budget 3-fer (at a supermarket) for about $10 that included *Born Yesterday, His Girl Friday* and *The Awful Truth* .

Imagine my surprise on opening the box to find three separate, fully loaded with extras, DVDs! > > They are all Hi-Def DVDs, which are apparently being cleared out as Blu-Ray won the war. Play fine on regular DVD players, though. Shoot, even if they're not HD-DVDs, that's an amazing price for Columbia films that not too long ago they tried to sell for over $20 each!!! Wish I could find them for that price at a supermarket in Atlanta!

Well, I cannot be trusted to remember to keep up with this, but perhaps myself and a few others can get back in the swing of this???? Jan 1st After the 9 PM 9:00am showing of Libeled Lady (10:40am Short Film: One Reel Wonders: *A Day At Santa Anita*, (1937) A Sybil Jason short. According to IMDB reviewer, several guest stars show up including Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler, then Olivia de Havilland with Edward G. Robinson,Frank McHugh, Bette Davis, Hugh Herbert, and Allen Jenkins. On the DVD Each Dawn I Die as well. But, being in color, sounds like one to catch! A top thoroughbred race horse, Wonder Boy, responds well only to a child. After the girl's father is killed in an accident, she inherits Wonder Boy and becomes his owner, but child authorities threaten to take custody. A familiar story that still holds its sentimental value.

There was a point where he said he let the people of America down, and he looked like he was about to cry, and David Frost looked like he was about to cry too. It was dramatic TV, but it wasn't like what TCM has been advertising for this movie. I don't know if I saw the interview back in 1977, or in a later broadcast(I seem to recall PBS making a big deal about running them again) but you are right, this looks to be close to an Oliver Stone re-telling of history....not many clips on youtube of the original interview(They were probably knocked off because of the movie) and what's there are just 1-2 minute clips...Here is a whole 2 1/2 minute clip via the NYT website... http://video.nytimes.com/video/2008/10/31/movies/1194829436782/the-frost-nixon-interview.html And I'm sure Ron Howard had access to the tapes....and Langella may be a fine actor, but my God, that's the worst impression of Nixon I have ever seen!

Lots of people up pretty late considering the night it is! Well, or on the west coast I guess.(Not me though) I had several questions pop up watching this film for about the 3000th time...forgot most of them after seeing the making of clip, and the Frank Jr rememberance...but, I remembered oneGeorge has to stay on as the secretary of the bank, otherwise the board will side with Potter. Ok...but, supposedly Harry will take it over when he comes back from college. Why would the board trust him??? Just something that happened off screen??? And what happened if they raised more than the 8 K needed, did George and Mary get to take a round the world trip??? Braces for the kids??? A contract put out on Potter???
