Well, it's not that I'm not as sharp on a Sunday afternoon, but it took me a while to figure this one out! You can't tell me that TCM programming isn't looking at all the clever ideas that come up in the Program Challenge. "Starring Terry" - I had no idea Terry had all these credits!

Kyle, I love the movie and I love this poster. The drawings around the border are very '50's and remind me (again with the books) of some drawings in some older Little Golden Books that I have.like this one - hope you don't mind my visual.

JackF - She looked and sounded good this morning on TCM! You know what I notice most about vintage attire in these ads and in mongo's photos? The shoes! Some look so stylish and comfy. Comfort is where it's at in shoes, and if they look good - way better.

filmlover - growing up with 4 older brothers, I was able to read their MAD magazines, and one of my favorite parts was their movie parodies.

I missed it because I didn't when it was going to be on and I don't if it has aired since. It was on right after *Four Wives* and right before *One Reel Wonder - Miracle at Lourdes*. I think they had an extra 6 minutes or so to fill in right before 11am PST. But I was glad to see you. I still see Cinemaven's once in a while. If anyone sees SueSue's and lzcutter's pieces, let us know whenever they start showing.

Hey Filmlover - I'm not usually near a tv at this hour of the weekday, and I just caught your Fan Perspective from last year. It is timeless and your love of movies shines through. A younger member of my family was here and I looked up and said - "Hey, I know that guy!" Then it got to the part where you talked about *Casablanca*, and this young person had me look up a picture of "Bogie sitting at the bar" for him. He told me that he was to meet a friend for dinner after his recent graduation, and found him sitting at the bar in just that pose.

As you can see, there are many posters interested and waiting for your response. Thank you, cinemafan*

Maven, Hope it's not too late for me to recommend *The Naked Spur*. Why? The cast (don't forget Ralph Meeker), and the psychological tension going on between James Stewart and Robert Ryan. And, the scenery is beautiful. I always wondered about the title and never watched it, until my brother recommended it. Here's a peek -

I think Peck shared that > the author, Harper Lee, sent him her father's watch in tribute to his wonderful performance > What a charming, captivating man he was in real life. And so darn handsome to the end *rohanaka said* - > I do not know much about his life, and to be honest.. I never really noticed his career much until about the last 25 years or so... I dont' know why... but he just never stood out much for me before that. But the way you have described him fits the impressions that I have of him now, for sure. I saw Now Playing the Show for July, and Gregory Peck will be the star of the month (I'm pretty sure that's accurate) with many of his movies shown on Monday nights. I think they will also be showing the documentary MissG speaks of. I can never see too much of *Duel in the Sun*.

> {quote:title=MissGoddess wrote:}{quote} > A rare film by Director Anthony Mann, Men in War, is on tomorrow night at 8 (Eastern). > I've never seen it and though I'm not a fan of war film, I am willing to watch this one on the > strength of the cast and director. Don't miss it if you're a fan, too. MissG - this also has Aldo Ray, Vic Morrow and Robert Keith (Brian's dad). And music by Elmer Bernstein. I'll be there.

*Love those up-dos. Esther Williams had beautiful hair. I'd describe it as luxuriantly big.*

I wanted to get my thanks in here before too much longer. Filmlover, thanks for taking the time and effort to add to the Challenge with your wonderful covers. They are always an extra treat to see.

I didn't mean to cast a pall over your thread! No, he just watches the news and in particular, one station. He never was interested in sports, either. Just worked a lot and kept busy. I guess I'm trying to say this is part of the 24/7 news scene out there - where every little and big thing is a big deal, and there's no escape, unless you turn off the plug-in-drug. It can be depressing for retired people who don't get out as much, or live in a rural area.

Bronxie - I still get the newspaper, though it's getting thinner and thinner every day. I'm a reader and it's an old habit. My dad, who lives in your state, has never been a reader. Now it's hot and he's stuck in the house watching news all day. He was never a movie lover like I am, so he doesn't even have that to fill his world. I like my habits - they serve me well.

I don't have the time this morning to cut and paste the part that concerns me. In a nutshell, it prohibits using false information when registering on this site. *Renee - your response to us is long overdue.*

filmlover - funny, I was just thinking of how much movie stuff is in my head. I'll have to think of some examples, but I know that I am quite often dating myself among the younger people around me. Like your example, sometimes, it's an expression that says it all, like "okie dokie".

*An oldie*

MissG - I got to see Gilbert Roland the other night in *Underwater.* The focus was on Jane Russell, of course, but from what I could see, he was quite a dancer - dancing to Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White played by Perez Prado http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjAN8sKb1A He sure had the moves. Cha cha, mambo, I don't know, but it sure looked good. I almost forgot Richard Egan, looking at him. Here are a few photos I found. *Gilbert Roland and Norma Talmadge*

SueSue - I finally had time to sit and read about your adventures. Very enjoyable, and I will be looking for that *Star is Born* promo and your dress!

Or, I'll just have to file it away with my *"Whatever happened to Henry Nakamura?"* inquiry.

*Now, I have to make it up to Dorothy Lamour - a very beautiful woman.*

I asked this in Info Please, but I will ask it here also. What is the name of the song sung in Spanish? I have looked it up, but had no luck. This song is on in the background when the two desperadoes are in the hotel in Mexico. A man is singing it and it has, to me, a very pretty melody. Thanks in advance.
