That's the one, Edythe. The third in Barry Levinson's semi-autobiographical four "Baltimore Films" set in his hometown. Thanks
-your thread.....

thanks starlite
next:
(the director) through film, and (composer) through his haunting musical score did a magnificent job of recreating a world that has all but disappeared. A time when family was the center of our lives, children respected the adults and were expected to behave in a civilized manner, people didn't spend Sundays running all over town to football, soccer games etc, and the elder members of the family were revered instead of ignored or worse, placed in a home.

hint: 1990s (recent TCM airing)

Tonight under Beatrice Lillie:
8:00 pm ET80 mincomedyOn Approval (1944)Dir: Clive Brook Cast: Clive Brook , Beatrice Lillie , Googie Withers .Two wealthy Victorian widows are courted tentatively by two impoverished British aristocrats.
LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Clive Brook. Beatrice Lillie, Clive Brook, Googie Withers, Roland Culver.
"Minor British gem showcasing the hilarious Bea Lillie as woman who decides to give her prospective husband a trial run, with unexpected results. Drawing-room comedy par excellence. Leading-man Brook also directed, produced, and co-wrote script (from Frederick Lonsdale's play)--the only time he ever worked behind the camera!"

12:00 am ET78 mindramaWithin Our Gates (1920)Dir: Oscar Micheaux Cast: Evelyn Preer , Flo Clements , James D. Ruffin .In this silent film, a black schoolteacher finds the battle against racism is everywhere when she goes North to raise money for better schools.
LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Oscar Micheaux. Evelyn Preer, Flo Clements, James D. Ruffin, Jack Chenault, William Smith, Charles D. Lucas.
"Controversial, no-holds-barred racial drama, which, along with Micheaux's THE SYMBOL OF THE UNCONQUERED, counterpoints Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION. Story focuses on light-skinned Preer's various entanglements and efforts to raise money for an all-black school. Despite the melodramatic and sometimes confusing narrative, Micheaux pointedly lambastes not only white racism but blacks who forsake their roots. The lynching scenes are undeniably powerful. Restored from a print found in Spain, with one sequence missing."

"I didn't feel like Osborne's commentary was needed on Labor Day. The programming did not exactly relate to the holiday."
-it was necessary to explain why the shown films related to the Telluride Day tribute. Only wish he'd started earlier to comment on "Russian Ark", which may have been confusing to viewers without any background on the film. (or could've shown the 'how it was made' short)

1st thought was It Started With A Kiss ('59)

Apparently it's showing in the Telluride Film Festival this past week. I haven't read anything about how it was received.
