I thought Robinson's character was in what we'd call the payroll department nowadays.
I have a memory of there being a cashier's office at John Lund's workplace (an engineering firm) in The Mating Season since he has to take an advance on his salary, but I'm not certain.

"Go Naked in the World" (1961)
Does anybody actually go naked?

Morgan is so appealing that you can put up with most of the nonsense that occurs for most of the film (like his singing in the police glee club).
No he's not. I tried watching this once, and bailing on it 20 minutes or so in when all the horrendous Irish singing started in earnest.

Did they come back to the five and dime?

Disney's copyright-lengthening lobbying doesn't help either. Before 1976, things were under copyright for 28 years, and could be renewed for another 47. If that were still the case, then the films of 1942 would be entering the public domain this year.
But the blankety-blanks at Disney are worried that people are going to make hardcore Mickey-on-Donald action or something if Steamboat Willie ever goes out of copyright. Never mind that trademark would be perfectly accurate to protect popular characters like them.

To be fair to Ben, the British can't pronounce English names right, either. Look at how they pronounce Derby or Clerkenwell, for example.
One of my favorites was a BBC report about the two careers. I had no idea what the reporter was going on about, until he mentioned "North Career" and "South Career".

Then this must be the reason Trebek, in that rich and resonant voice of his, seems to so often nail almost every pronunciation of names, words and phrases on that quiz show of his, and regardless the language of their origins, eh Swithin?!
I speak German and Russian, and I can tell you your comment is decidedly not true.

Hey Fedya. Did ya see that short TCM showed just last night? The one circa the mid-'60s where they showed this one famed Hollywood makeup artist using plaster casts and then latex to recreate the faces of actors?
"King of the Duplicators" with Fred Tuttle (I believe that was his name)? The one where he makes the interviewer bald? I've seen that before, but was watching stuff off my DVR last night.

It is because a man had an artist take photographs and make a mold of his wife's face when she was in hospital and she was not expected to survive.
The death mask is a thing too.

And that clip was followed by...
The Mike Curb Congregation. And you can really blow their minds by pointing out that Mike Curb was the acting Governor of California.

Show them Glen Campbell and try to explain to them the phenomenon that was Minnie Pearl:

Have you seen the one Cary Grant wore in The Howards of Virginia?One of the worst movie wigs of all time............

The research Einstein did that won him the Nobel Prize (not e=mc^2) was started all the way back around 1905, and Einstein won the Nobel in 1921.

I can't say what movie I'd pair with Never Give a Sucker an Even Break, because the moderator would have an apoplectic fit.

Penny Serenade and The Baby.

In that case, how about The Lost Weekend (1945) and Leaving Las Vegas (1995) ?
The Lost Weekend and Less than Zero.

Psycho, followed by Les diaboliques.

Many years ago in a TCM Programming Challenge, I did a double feature of Our Daily Bread followed by Soylent Green.

Technically, shouldn't "Montand" have a pair of nasal vowels in it?
And have fun pronouncing the Czech Ř that appears in the names of two key crew members of Closely Watched Trains: Producer Jiří Menzel and star Václav Neckář.

ask CLAUDETTE COLBERT who draws on her eyebrows?
I'd tell her I only want to photograph the right side of her face.

Maybe something else was used in the Move the Planter scene.
Planter's Peanuts, no doubt.

There's the Lemmon/Matthau movie Out to Sea, and as I posted in the "I Just Watched" thread, Georges Méliès made a 1907 film called "The Eclipse".

If you haven't heard, there's a solar eclipse today. L'Éclisse is not French for "The Eclipse", so instead I watched some Georges Meliès:
That's one homoerotic eclipse.
The worst movie I have ever seen!

I assume you're talking about Mrs. Brown? I was also reminded of The Mudlark from 1950 with Irene Dunne as the Queen and Finlay Currie as John Brown.
