I also got introduced to Ride Lonesome last night which I liked very much.
From what you described, I have a sense that you mean RIDING SHOTGUN. There were no town scenes in RIDE LONESOME but I suire could have ridden away with the woman in there also.

First off, Maltin is just the editor and has a whole bunch of others doing the actual writing. Sure, he has the ability to veto what's been written and has the knowledge to correct mistakes, but at this stage I think his biggest concern is the size of his picture on the cover. I like the guy and when I was an adolescent I knew him rather well since we moved in the same circles and did for about the next 15 years. But I expect that he just gives it all a quick once-over and sends it off to print.
Before the IMDb, I used his book and its predecessor, "The TV Key Movie Guide" by Steven Scheuer as a reference source for casting info and year of production. Also the running time - if something on TV was likely to be cut too much to fit a time slot, I didn't bother watching. I haven't bought a Maltin volume in over a decade and I have yet to look at one of his on-site reviews.
I grew up on what were considered B movies so I had long ago realized that too often what I liked was not getting recognition. The credits and storyline were the key criteria for my viewing, not the star ratings or commentary. If I saw that Billy Wilder was attached to a film, I had a different level of expectation than if I saw that his brother W. Lee Wilder was directing. It's the same thing with the Oscars, I must have been still in single-digits when I realized that what I liked was never going to be nominated. The Academy loves drunks, whores and the afflicted, but I knew that one of Christopher Lee or Vincent Price's tormented characters were never going to be announced just prior to the envelope being opened.
Awards and/or critical praise does little to influence me so thus I spend little or no time to develop counter-arguments for those with whom I disagree.

LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON is another rather prestigious title for AA. Walter Mirisch talked a bit about both when he was on Private Screenings. AA was doing its best to upgrade the industry's perception of itself. Getting Cooper in Wyler and Wilder films was a considerable feat. You didn't see that happening at American-International.

I've sprung this on the IMDb boards and some are having great luck with it and others are asking questions about how to use it.
I think the big issue is centered around "Is your character still alive?"
Now if you're going for Clark Gable, you naturally should say "no." But if you're going for Rhett Butler, then since he's alive at the end of the tale, you answer "yes." Granted there is no one left alive who was alive during the Civil War but it appears that the program is only interested in the details relative to the source material.

There have some such as the whole of the Bowery Boys titles and some Joel McCrea westerns. Also AL CAPONE has aired along with INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and SHACK OUT ON 101. There were a few others recently such as QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE and FRANKENSTEIN 1970 and I believe that TICKLE ME aired last month.
I suspect that print quality may be an issue, a couple of the McCrea westerns looked faded and at least two were in full screen. Additionally, AA released a lot of films from indie producers and those rights may have reverted back to them or their estate.

*"NETWORK"* is one of my favorite films. It doesn't get old. It comes on in July? I'll try to be there.
Well, I hope that you remembered. I just love this film. I love the way that Faye Dunaway nods her head up and down rather than to say yes in a couple of scenes.
What we need is a bobbing-head Faye Dunaway doll.

Now try the Akinator's power to figure out the person of whom you are thinking:

Just be warned - it's addictive.

I remember Zeppo Mark picking up a hankerchief in MONKEY BUSINESS.

I would like to see how many clowns come out of the gondola though.

Both star Kevin McCarthy and director Don Siegel show up in the 1978 remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS.
-
Martin Balsam also shows up in the CAPE FEAR remake.
Jane Greer has a small role in the remake of OUT OF THE PAST titled AGAINST ALL ODDS.
Lewis Stone shows up in two versions of SCARAMOUCHE.

You're welcome. There was another code "<img src=PLACE_YOUR_LINK_HERE>" (except for quotes) but that one seems to only work now when it feels like it.
I gave up trying so perhaps now it doesn't work at all. Who knows, things change from day-to-day here and not usually for the better.

It just looks like a bad color process to me, TruColor doesn't always mean true color. Never has. It's only slightly more accurate then Super Cinecolor and for both hues change within a scene.

IMDb must also be "improving" their site. I'm sure they will fix it pronto as that's a feature that aids the bottom line.
Right now they have to finish the work on the message boards which have been inaccessible since this morning.
-
It did serve to prove that while they may not be watching the film, they are doing these things unscripted. I have to admit, I'd have responded by saying something that starts with "What the" and then demanded another take just so the other guy wouldn't diminish all of the points he's earned to date.

Since they were giving Russell a special Oscar anyway, I think they should have excluded him from the main competition.
But the thing was that they gave Russell the special Oscar because they didn't know the outcome of the voting for the supporting Oscar and they thought that he should go home with something. When he needed money in the early 90s for his wife's medical bills, it was the Supporting Actor Oscar that he had auctioned.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking on you. It just seems that whether they got it right or not, describing her even as a secretary says less about her than it would to describe her as a spinster. The story revolves around her losing a certain status, and that would be irrelevant of her occupation.
-
They should just change it to "a spinster" and let it go at that. Why should her occupation matter in the first place when it comes to describe her character?

To post a photo, put an exclamation point at each end of the link that you are using. Just don't use "wallpaper" sized images.
This won't work in the General Discussions folder - nothing works there but don't worry, several years ago we were told it would be looked into.

That's the one that I had in mind. Thanks for coming up with that, the inquiries that I sent out haven't been responded to yet.
Now let's hope that it's the one the OP had in mind.

I'm ashamed - I know this movie, TCM aired it a couple of years ago. I can't remember a single cast member.
However, there's a good chance that it may have been covered in an ongoing thread on this site:

Meanwhile I'll try a few other cyberfriends who may know this one.

Sounds like the Bette Davis film DARK VICTORY
25 minutes into "The Sea Hawk" and nothing has happened yet.

I've seen it already and once I remembered that it has one of those annoying organ scores, I came back to the PC.
