The RIN TIN TIN series was shot on the old FORT APACHE set, probably used a lot of the same wardrobe also. There's even a connection to the Scott films we're discussing since Rand Brooks was also a series regular - he was in COMANCHE STATION and also GWTW (where Scott should have played Ashley
)The RIN TIN TIN series airs on weekend mornings on Antenna TV so I watched a couple of them not long ago. The music has been changed, must have been a rights issue, but the show is just what I expected and all the better for it. The dog always has the last word.

Yes, you can do that at the IMDb, but I do it a different way.
I just go to the page for any Paramount movie, scroll down to where they give a link to the studio, and then I'm provided with a list like this:
http://www.imdb.com/company/co0023400/
It's just a matter of scrolling down to the year that you have in mind.
But there is a search function there that does allow filtering by many different criteria.

Wondering? The daily and weekly schedules for July 5 have been available since early April. The listed guest programmer is Spike Lee.
Wise guy.
I don't go past the message boards to look for the promo stuff or announcements. Life is short, so I try to enjoy today without worrying or getting excited about what's airing in two or three months. If someone hadn't posted the link, I wouldn't have been here concerned that It's now May and I don't know what's airing in July.
Not a knock on those who do, but I dealt with that kind of thing for years when I was in the biz. I was using history to do scheduling and make audience estimates up to a year in advance. I was zipping through time so much during the day that it was easy to forget just what was the present day or even month.
But at least you've confirmed that my hunch was correct.
Are you suggesting that you have found evidence that Mr. Lee’s chosen films will air without his introductions?
If I were suggesting that, then I would not have referred to it as possibly being a Guest Programmer night since they need a guest by definition.
-
Maybe it was the Cinecolor process, but Macready's eyes never looked so blue to me before. Here's this cold villain, with what were among the warmest blue eyes I've ever seen.
I grew up with Joe Sawyer playing Sgt. O'Hara on THE ADVENTURES OF RIN TIN TIN. So, I was used to him being something of a buffoon before I was exposed to his tough guy roles.
At one point, the show's sponsor, Nabisco, was advertising face masks to be found on the back of every box of Shredded Wheat. I was five or six years old, I wanted to be Lt. Rip Masters, or even Rusty, but the store in my neighborhood had nothing but boxes with Joe Sawyer's face on the back to be cut out and worn as a mask.
That was equivalent to expecting a kid to be happy dressed up as Perry White on Halloween.

I'm wondering if July 5 is Guest Programmer night. The sked has:
ACE IN THE HOLE
NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
ON THE WATERFRONT
A FACE IN THE CROWD
Those titles seem to get a lot of play on such occasions.
It's nice to see:
TOO MUCH, TOO SOON
A FEVER IN THE BLOOD
VOLTAIRE
THE SEA GULL
THE EASIEST WAY
BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK
THE SOLITAIRE MAN
OUTWARD BOUND
CAPTURED
YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW
BERKELEY SQUARE
THE GREAT JEWEL ROBBER
Plus a bunch of Stanwyck pre-Codes on the 20th and some with Joan Blondell on the 31st. All in all, a nice diverse group of infrequently aired films that may or may not be considered "classic" but they bring some relatively fresh meat to the table and for me that's always good.
Your mileage may vary, some titles not available in all areas. Check your local listings, running times, aspect ratios and your temperature. The opinions expressed in this post are those of the author, and do not reflect in any way upon the opinions of TCM Programming, Management or Janitorial departments, fan clubs or any affiliations.

I love that leather jacket of his. Even in his last, you can see him wearing it.
When I finally caught up again with BUCHANAN RIDES ALONE after about 40 years, I was so distressed that Stardust was being ridden by a differrent character in the film. That's all resolved at the end, but it was a concern of mine. What a magnificent mane that horse had.
Somewhere during the years, I read that Scott would visit the horse between films and after retiring, just to bring him some treats. You can almost chuckle during THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN in a scene where Scott and Lina Romay are supposed to be sweet talking each other and Stardust is nudging Scott as the scene is progressing. I'm sure it wasn't intended.

McCarthy had nothing to do with Garfield.
Fred, I feel for ya guy. You keep correcting this one on that info, but hey, at least "Cohn" was spelled properly this time.
-
And thank you VX. I'm on a fairly new PC, my last one had a hard drive failure and there went my TCM schedules going back to January 2001.
I wonder how many airings I could have found going back that far.
-
Shame on TCM for never showing this, but I'm sure the sycophantic number crunchers here who defend TCM programming will tell me it was shown at 3:30pm on Dec. 15th in 1982 and swear that TCM is still a classic station.
And shame on you for saying that TCM "never" shows it.
It aired in December 2009, April 2010, March 2011 and of course, April 2012 - tonight. I only have skeds going back to January 2009, but that still gives a result of three times more than "never" without counting tonight.
I'll spare you the exact dates and times, lest I be called a sycophant. There are those around here who prefer to call me a nag for jumping on errors in the "facts" cited on air or for picking on the substitution of pan-and-scan prints for widescreen movies - I'd hate to be accused of having two faces. I just prefer accuracy when "facts" are given, no matter who gives them.

Other than the Boetticher films, and the one Peckinpah film, HANGMAN'S KNOT is probably my favorite of the 50s-60s Scott westerns. A way station features prominently, sort of a glimpse ahead to several of the Boetticher titles. Amazingly, this was the only film that Roy Huggins would ever direct, although he would go on to create the TV shows MAVERICK, 77 SUNSET STRIP and THE FUGITIVE.
HANGMAN'S KNOT also gives us a very nice supporting cast with Donna Reed, Richard Denning, Claude Jarman, Guinn Williams and of course, Lee Marvin. This was the first Scott title that I bought on DVD, this being before the two Warner three-packs and the Boetticher titles became available.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
-
Lots of women in this western, I like that.
Sally Eilers, the actress playing Della, the character who hires Scott to protect her interests, was the ex-wife of producer Harry Joe Brown. Maybe that saved the guy an alimony check that month.
Previously she was married to Hoot Gibson.
Harry Joe Brown had some career, with stints as producer, director, writer and cinematographer. The last shot of Randolph Scott that I saw for many years was his visiting Brown and Glenn Ford on the set of A TIME FOR KILLING in 1967. That's about the only thing that film has going for it in my estimation. Easily one of the worst post-1960 westerns I've seen.
The pic was a reunion as Scott, Ford and Brown were all connected to the 1943 western THE DESPERADOES, the first Columbia film in Technicolor.
The last shot of Scott that I saw was one of him standing aside longtime friend Fred Astaire at the funeral service for some mutual friend, circa 1986. In less than a year, both Scott and Astaire were gone.

Glad to hear that you liked it and that it gave you something to keep your mind off your ailment. I hope that you're feeling better soon.

I just input the title into the YouTube search box. It may be one that demands absolute accuracy, like the one on these premises which doesn't always make suggestions if you happen to input one wrong letter or number from the title.

Well, why didn't I think of that? I found CORONER CREEK on YouTube and it's a nice looking print for a Cinecolor film. I haven't watched it, just spot checked it. Now I'm going to have to figure out how to download this so I can burn it and watch it on my TV.

Macready has a great time as the villain of the George Raft film JOHNNY ALLEGRO. The beginning of the film isn't much but the last twenty minutes or so are a variant on THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME with Macready hunting Raft and Nina Foch on an island with a bow and arrow.
"I never miss with a silver arrow."
Coincidentally, he was the villain the previous year in the Louis Hayward film THE BLACK ARROW.

Billy Brown / 3rdManTheme / gatester - is that you again?

They were in some of the other forums, such as "Films and Filmmakers" and "Your Favorites" as I recall. I bounce around the board a lot, lurking in most but commenting in just a few. When I thought that I saw some duplication, I checked by clicking on the user name of the OP but as they were deleted, they will no longer show up in his/her profile.
Either the admins noticed, or someone could have reported him. That kind of behavior is called "spamming" and is frowned upon on most message boards.
It's not as if the idiosyncratic typing style doesn't make him stick out in the first place, but it was the same post verbatim in multiple forums.
-
Just how many forums has this thing been posted in today? I could swear that I've seen this in four different forums and it is barely worth putting up once.
I'm responding to myself as the observation I made earlier of multiple threads on the same subject has been agreed with by the admins as being delete worthy.
Thanks guys.

Too bad it's never on DVD. Warner needs to release EVERYTHING they've got sitting in their vaults collecting dust and turning into grape jelly.
That's funny - I have a Warner Archive copy of THE BREAKING POINT two feet away from me in a pile of recently purchased films from the Archive during the last 5 titles/50 dollars sale.

Most likely, it's not the average viewer paying three dollars, but the average cable household. That's not the same thing as not every household has someone in it who is watching TCM.
We're all paying for channels that we don't watch. I've never even seen five minutes of the Lifetime channel, but the ability to reach my household is factored into the fee that they demand from cable carriers.

Well then, in the absence of other evidence, I'm only too glad to credit lzcutter with the compilation.
I hesitated to post the list at first as I'm not the type to take credit for another person's work. So, the compromise was to post it and hope that the original author would appreciate my sincerity.
