Please let me know if you are having difficulty, I will repost everything if need be.

On a brighter note, this isn't affecting EVERYONE. I have a PM vote for nicoley13's schedule, making this a 4-way tie! The race stands at: CineMaven 1 Fedya 1 ILoveRayMilland 1 Nicoley13 1

Hi all... Due to TCM.com's new rules allowing you to edit your previous posts only for 24 hours, I am unable to change the posts now. I'm not having trouble accessing the pages this morning on any of the browsers. Is the trouble still preventing any of you from getting to them, or was this just one of those temporary wonky TCM moments that seem to happen more and more often? If necessary, I will repost all of the schedules and notes without formatting (meaning no boldface type, no italics, etc.) and without those dire emoticons. Let me know if you still can't access and I will repost in that manner.

Just one week left to cast your votes!

I have received a PM vote for ILoveRayMilland's schedule. So, right now we are at: CineMaven 1 Fedya 1 ILoveRayMilland 1 (in alphabetical order) I've also received several PMs telling me how difficult it is to choose among so many good entries. It's anybody's game, right up to the wire, so get your votes in!

And indeed, I overlooked Fredmill38's programming notes. The lovely authoress Donna was kind enough to let me know, and here they are...and my apologies all around for my goof. _______ Fredmill38's Programming Notes: Hello everyone! I'm sorry for not being around here for the past few days and being able to post my schedule until the eleventh hour. I've been busy with work, spending time with family and other things. From what I've read so far, the schedules that have been posted are great. Anyways, in regards to my schedule, here is some background about it. Each of the themes for the days either relate to song titles, something that is common within the theme of each of the films or pertains to something that the actors had in common with one another. For the TCM Spotlight: Lucky 13, since some of the ideas that I was thinking about were already done, I decided to do several films in which the actors themselves had 13 letters to their names minus the spacing. I know this seems kind of corny, but this was the only idea I could think of. Some of the folks we have that fit the category are William Powell, Carole Lombard, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman and Melvyn Douglas. For the TCM Spotlight: Location! Location!, I chose the state of Florida as the focus, since there are some great films that take place in many of the well known cities down there. I also chose Florida partially because my brother goes to school down there and as a race fan, Daytona Beach is the mecca for anyone who follows the sport of NASCAR. In regards to the Star of the Month, I chose Lloyd Nolan as the Star of the Month for March. I had purchased the Michael Shayne DVD box set Volume 1 about a few months ago and really enjoyed them. I have watched several of his films that he was in and I am appreciating more of his work that I have seen recently. On Tuesday during the day, I have a block of films devoted to some famous actors and individuals behind the camera who are actually siblings. While some of us are familiar with the fact that Joan Fontaine and Olivia deHaviland are related, I wanted to take a look at some other folks who people did not expect to be related but are. I also have a day set aside devoted to some famous actresses named Shirley from Jones, to Temple to MacLaine and to Eaton as well. Some other themes that I included films which have films that deal with the rise of individuals in the public eye, people seeking revenge for those who have wronged them and individuals who look out and do what is in the best interest of their kids. The Essential for the week is the film "Abe Lincoln in Illinois (1940)" and the night is built around Raymond Massey as well. The TCM Silent Sunday night movie is "Leaves from Satan's Book (1919)" with Helge Nissen and Jacob Texiere and the TCM Import is the film, "Faust (1963)". The TCM Underground films are "The She-Creature (1956)" with Chester Morris and "The She-Beast (1966)" with Barbara Steele. The TCM Premieres include "Madison Avenue (1962)" with Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain, "Alias Nick Beal (1949)" with Ray Milland and Audrey Totter, "Michael Shayne, Private Detective (1941)" with Lloyd Nolan and Marjorie Weaver, "Sleepers West (1941)" with Lloyd Nolan and Lynn Bari, "Moon Over Miami (1941)" with Betty Grable, Don Ameche and Robert Cummings, and "Man on a Tightrope (1953)" with Fredric March, Terry Moore and Gloria Grahame. I hope that the schedule I have created is okay. I enjoyed doing each of the schedules that I have participated in and I figured that it would be great to do this again.

And the voting has begun. I have received two votes via Private Message... one vote for Fedya and one vote for CineMaven. Thus the tally stands at CineMaven 1 Fedya 1 It's officially a contest!

All removed, and I am now able to access on Firefox. Did this clear up the problem for everyone? (Thanks, Lynn. I never would have thought of IE, I have a Mac and they no longer support. I had to download a 5 year old Mac version!)

I'll try with IE.

Although earlier I had no trouble accessing the page I am now unable to do so as well. I have been having difficulty accessing the boards in late afternoon every day since I returned from Europe, so I'm not sure what to do. I'll keep trying over the next couple of hours and if I am still unsuccessful I will repost all the schedules and notes, clearing the notes of all emoticons. Either way, by 5:30 PM ET I will either have cleared the emoticons (if I am able to get in) or begun to repost. Sorry for the delay, all!

Also, Patful has requested that you not vote for his schedule -- he entered for the fun of the game, but asks to not be part of the competition.

This thread is now closed. Please head over to THE TCM PROGRAMMING CHALLENGE #13: THE VOTING THREAD to continue any discussion started here --- and to vote!

And that is it, folks. If I am correct, there were no Programming Notes from helenbaby and Fredmill --- if I missed them, please let me know so they can be posted. Again, please everyone who entered check to see that your schedule posted in its entirety. Having just formatted all of the schedules, I literally reread every single line, and you all should be very proud of the fantastic job you've done. Hopefully TCM Programmr is reading over my shoulder. Now, it's up to you to select your favorites. Not only does the winner get a prize --- but the winner also moderates Challenge #14. Best of luck to all.

CINEMAVEN PROGRAMMING NOTES *LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!* *Arrivederci Italia!* My sister and I took a visit to Remini and Venice about twenty-five years ago. Beautiful. So why not revisit this country with four films that shows its effect on people. We?re introduced to a future icon, a supernova of beauty, the pathos of a father and son, and a movie where Katharine Hepburn is actually very sexy. And all this is brought out by Italy. I?m so happy that Gable lived long enough to work with BOTH Marilyn and Sophia. How many actors can say THAT?? Vino, anyone? *TCM IMPORT* You?ve got to catch this film. And I mean NOW! ?QUAI DES ORFEVRES? is wonderful!!! *ADOLPHE MENJOU* I was looking up some piece of information for Valentino and saw Menjou had appeared in a film of his. Adolphe Menjou?? I said to myself, "he was in that film too?? It spurred me on to think about all the movies he has appeared in. I think he had a blessed film career, always working and in good films too. His eruditness and urbanity and accent made him an asset in any film. And nobody wore a mustache better, not Gable or Taylor or Powell. Okay, maybe Groucho has him beat. *ELLA RAINES* There was a thread posted on this Message Board asking what actor makes you smile. Well she most certainly does. Check her out with John Wayne in ?TALL IN THE SADDLE.? Yes, Gail Russell might have had that haunting vulnerable beauty, but Raines is the tomboy side of the coin, which suited the Duke just as well. This brunette with the pageboy and smoky voice didn?t have too long a career but she definitely was a lovely creature for the 1940?s. Yes, a bit Bacall-ish (though that was more the pouty Lizabeth Scott than her), Raines was not the damsel in distress in many of her films. She was generally the competent, confident, direct and independent-type; and I think lovely to watch. I hope you do too. *AND A TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA TO YOU TOO!* Thirteen. Just saying the number strikes fear in the hearts of mortal men. But why? We Americans started off thirteen strong with thirteen colonies and we didn?t seem to do so badly by it. Though I have read some fantastic uses of the number thirteen, I shall go the patriotic route, and share with you some movies that take place in one of our original thirteen colonies. *MARGARET LINDSAY* There?s something about Margaret Lindsay that just gets me right here. It?s visceral and I can?t explain it. So let me just go the imdb route for all of you good voters out there: As described in IMDB:?picture-pretty brunette Margaret Lindsay was one of a number of pleasant, sweet-natured ing?nues who could do no wrong in 1930s stylish pictures.? You all have favorites that you could describe as perhaps not having the high-powered wattage of a Davis or Blondell, Margaret Lindsay was no less capable of shining brightly albeit a bit more subdued. She supported many a 1930?s leading man including James Cagney and Paul Muni and leading ladies like the volcanic Bette Davis. She had a smart sophisticated look and one of the great speaking voices; the camera might have followed the star of the picture but you always wondered what was going on with the handsome, intelligent and believable Margaret Lindsay. For a full mini-biography, please check out: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0512267/bio Lastly, check out this comment from an imdb contributor: "I was absolutely knocked out by Margaret Lindsay's (NOT Lockwood !!!) bravura performance in this film ('THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES'). It is inconceivable that she wasn't nominated but 1940 was one of the most competitive Best Actress years ever. She ran the gamut from lovely young girl to pinched spinster. Her range was worthy of Bette Davis (with whom she co-starred many times). I loved the film itself also, and was inspired to read the book, which I loved as well. Miss Lindsay should have received more comment from students of good acting in all these years since the film. She definitely gave one of the finest performances I have ever seen by an actress in the movies and I'm63!? - fguerras (10/27/2006): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032610/ And yes, Ms. Lindsay has done a slew of films that could fill up a month?s scheduling. *DON?T TAKE HIM FOR GRANTED* Ahhh, Cary Grant. The most perfect name, and the most wonderful voice and the most handsome and sophisticated man. What more d?ya need? Okay okay, he?s the consummate dreamboat ...er...actor. He can be sophisticated or screwball and more than a little dark too. He worked with the creme de la creme of leading ladies who brought out different things in him with each one he worked with. He?s a little different with Hepburn than he is with Dunne, than he is with Loy, than he is with Kerr, than he is with Ginger, than he is with Sheridan, than he is with Eva Marie, than he is with Lombard, than he is with...Hepburn. But I think his best leading lady and the one where they generated the most heat was with Ingrid Bergman. ?NOTORIOUS.? Enough said. Cary Grant is perfect. Even Cary Grant wanted to be Cary Grant. *DEE-LIGHTFUL, DEE-LOVELY FRANCES DEE* Marrying one of the most popular actors in Hollywood and being one of the most delicately beautiful women of the entire 1930?s, who wouldn?t want to spend a day with Frances Dee. This is a chore? She chose marriage and family over a career in Hollywood and Joel McCrea?s gain is our loss. But at least for today we can bask in the luminosity of Frances Dee. And I promise you...there is a shot of her in ?So Ends Our Night? that will take your breath away. She is absolutely, unequivocably and utterly beautiful and quietly talented. And now...Frances Dee. ?It was refreshing to see such a twisted sexuality portrayed so cheerfully by an actress this attrractive (sic) in such an old movie. The masochistic gleam in her eyes at the end was worth the price of admission by itself.?-somebodyfamousjr. (5/14/2006): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023818/board/nest/43316048 The movie that the poster was referring to: "BLOOD MONEY." *WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN* When you see the names, you?ll know what I?m going for. Celebrities whose lives ended too soon. Some had careers that looked promising. Makes you wonder, sadly, what might have been. *SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING...VICE* Dastardly Donlevy, Wicked Widmark, Cunning Conte. What can I say...I love the bad boy. Well, maybe, loving him from afar since I?m kind of a good girl. Handsome, bad and makes you want to be bad with him. Yeah. Yeah. *Lethal Ladies* Whether she?s thumbin? a ride, droppin? her lipstick case, showin? her ankle bracelet, pullin? the trigger herself, gettin? a big lug to do it for her OR walking in out of the sunlight, remember this: SHE IS LETHAL!! The prerequisites for a lethal lady: heartless viciousness and beauty. Being a damsel in distress can?t hurt. Being a blonde is not necessary. (Especially if the wig is baad). It?s okay...you?re a big strong man. She?ll let you think it?s your idea. After all, women are the weaker sex. Right? P.S. I don?t know if Claire Trevor should officially be in this category, but hell...that voice and her quintessential 1940?s look and the fact that she?s referred to as a ?big league blonde? is enough in my book. Make up your own schedule. She should always have a gun in her hand. *EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE* Is there a touch of nepotism in Hollywood? Ya think? Probably more on the studio-end of things a la the Kordas or Warners or Zanucks, not so much on the stardom end. But there were many relatives who were film stars; kind of like a family business. We?ve got sisters and brothers and fathers and daughters in this bunch. And there were some stars who worked with those siblings or progeny. Some even worked with both in the same film as is the case with Deborah Kerr (John & Hayley Mills) or Jack Nicholson (with Angelica and John Huston). Now I know you won?t think ?Basic Instinct? with Sharon Stone is a classic though I think that her role as Catherine Tremaine is one of the great female roles in history (yes Katy Scarlett O?Hara, I do) of cinema. Well, imagine this cinemaven?s glee when I saw the movie in the theatres and gave a low squeal. My friend gave me a soft shot in the ribs. Friend: ?WHAT?!? Me: ?Dorothy Malone!? Friend: ?Who?? My friend?s younger, so I went with something she might know: Me: ?Dorothy Malone! ?Peyton Place.?? Friend: ?Sssh!? Me: ?Michael Douglas gave a part to Dorothy Malone.? Friend: ?So?? Me: ?She worked with his father in ?The Last Sunset.?? Friend: ?Oh.? Movie Patron Behind Us: ?Ssssh!? My favorite sibling link is Bogie working with all three of the Lane Sisters AND including a separate movie with Gale Page. Let?s see if talent runs in the family. *I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR* I don?t know about you, but I could watch a bad B-movie over and over and over again. I love watching these women transform. Why. Schlocky, bad acting, fake-looking sets, day-for-night shots. Not the mark of classic filmmaking. But Allison Hayes stomping around this little town and that fake papier mache hand of hers coming through the roof to get Harry, is worth a Friday night of dinner, drinking and dancing with my friends. There are some serious topics tackled (infidelity, scientific research, ageism) in the midst of the tacky settings. And I LOVE these film for it.

Norma_Desmond Programming Notes *My week is for July 1-7, 2010* *?13? as Theme: First PG-13 films* July first was the date the MPAA started marking qualifying movies with a ?PG-13? rating, so for the evening theme I scheduled a showing of the first three films to be labeled as such, followed by the two films that pushed the ratings board to establish the logo. The bulk of my premieres were drained on this night, a testament o their classic status *Star of the Month: Larry Olivier* I was disappointed with this years? birthday tribute (it should have lasted a week, with my favorites on a loop) so I decided to make him my SOTM, going against my original choice of George Sanders who I instead gave the b-day tribute to (July 3). *TCM Underground: Dolls Double Feature* Valley of Dolls and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls: two films unrelated save for their titles and delightful fun *Essential: The Wind* Lillian Gish. Victor Sjostrom. Enough said *Silent Sunday: Foolish Wives* The Erich von Stroheim classic, which I believe is a premiere *Import: Orpheus Descending* Two films interpreting the Orpheus/Eurydice myth, the first by Marcel Camus, the second by Cocteau. *LOCATION! LOCATION! - India* I went for a country instead of a city to work in a few more of my favorites Also, as always with my schedules I?m sure to include A Streetcar Named Desire, the Red Shoes, Hamlet and few other titles that anyone following these challenges knows I?m fond of programming. Oh and my ?Stolen Goods? theme closely mirrors nicoley13?s ?thievery amongst the rich? night, an unintended coincidence.

Fedya's Programming Notes NOTES ON A SCHEDULE This schedule, in conjunction with my previous one, will answer the eternally vexing question: Is chocolate better than sex? Easter falls on Sunday, April 4, 2010, so the schedule starts the Sunday before Easter and runs through the day before Easter (as the contest called for a Sunday-Saturday week). We start off with the movie *The Chocolate Soldier* , followed by a slightly less candy-related theme. Since one of our themes had to be related to the number 13, the closest think I could think of that still fit an Easter sweets-related schedule was baked goods. The "baker's dozen" came into being because of laws fining people selling a dozen items that were less than a dozen -- the legend goes that bakers responded by putting 13 items in when they sold a dozen, so as to make certain they had a dozen. So, we have an entire day of movies about bakers of one sort or another. Charlie Chaplin has to pose as a baker in our first short; one of the Nazis in *49th Parallel was a baker before being drafted; there are several people named Baker, and even* the Baker Street Irregulars. (As for *Hud*, there's a scene with Patricia Neal talking about baking a pie. The day includes an Italian version of Cyrano de Bergerac (one of the characters runs a bakery), and two foreign films. Monday morning brings Junior Mints, starting off with a bunch of people named Junior. (WS Van Dyke II of course also qualifies as a Junior.) It's followed by minting. If the federal government mints money, it's called fiscal policy. If you or I do it, it's counterfeiting and a crime. We have four movies in which counterfeit money plays an important role. Monday night, and into Tuesday morning, is the Clark Bar, with people named Clark. This leads to some movies set on the moors with the Heath Bar, and an afternoon of movies about life savers. Betty Hutton saves Barry Fitzgerald in *The Stork Club* ; Spencer Tracy saves bratty Freddy Bartholomew in *Captains Courageous* , and James Stewart pulls Kim Novak out of San Francisco Bay in *Vertigo* . Of course, you can't have life savers without a Mae West, so she shows up too. Belgium makes fine chocolates, so on Tuesday night we satisfy the "series of movies with a common setting" requirement with a night of movies set in Belgium (and one movie with a prominently Belgian character). Vincent Van Gogh spent time in Belgium as a priest, and the short is on Belgian-born Joseph Deveuster, who became Father Damien. Gobstoppers are a type of candy, but a gob is also a slang word for a sailor. So what can stop a sailor? We've got a giant octopus, a reef, Polynesian beauties, Nazi torpedoes, and a Nazi iceberg stopping all sorts of sailors. I was going to do a day of movies on M&Ms, until one of the other entrants did a theme of women with the initials M.M. There went my day of Muir Mathieson movies. :-( So, I turned the M&Ms around 180 degrees, and got W&Ws! Here you'll find one of my premieres, Wilson, about US President Woodrow Wilson. Yes, I know Walter Winchell isn't actually in *Sweet Smell of Success* , but he was the template for the character. I didn't want to do a full 14 hours of movies with "Kiss" in the title, but I was stuck with two mornings/afternoons to program, and only three candies left, so one of them had to get the 14 hours. (Well, I could have used Sugar Babies if somebody hadn't taken the golddigers theme.) Baby Ruth is a candy bar, which makes it an obvious choice for using somebody named Ruth as Star of the Month. And so, we get Ruth Hussey as Star of the Month. Friday morning brings Milk Duds. Joan Fontaine plays a maid who falls in love with a milkman (who's actually the son of the dairy owner); Judy Garland and Robert Walker do James Gleason's milkman route; a maid claims a milk bath would be just the thing for a sick girl; and Harold Lloyd plays a milkman. All-Day Suckers, of course, doesn't last all day, largely because I couldn't find enough different ideas and didn't want to do 14 hours of vampire movies. So, we get a sucker, a vampire, leeches, a tornado sucking a house off its foundation, vacuum cleaner salesman Joe McDoakes, and a man getting sucked out of an airplane. Benny Goodman referred to his clarinet as his "licorice stick", so we get a night of two clarinetists, Goodman and Artie Shaw. This leads us into TCM Underground. Since it's Easter week, I figured two religious-themed movies would be appropriate. *The Passover Plot* purports to tell an alternate history of how Christianity came into being. As for *Reggie's Prayer* , it proves the adage that while everybody can make a movie, not everybody should. This was produced by, and stars, famous football player Reggie White, who used a bunch of his NFL colleagues in the movie. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. We start off Saturday with Almond Joy, and some "nutty" movies: *Cocoanuts* , a nuthouse, a short on George Washington Carver, and Spencer Tracy's love of peanuts being a major piece of circumstantial evidence. If Almond Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't, so we've got three regular "hill" movies, and one about intrigue on Capitol Hill. On the night before Easter, we have bunnies and rabbits, starting off with the TCM Essential, *Bunny Lake is Missing* . Our next movie may or may not have a rabbit in it; Fred MacMurray is doing research on rabbits; Mickey Rooney's rabbit becomes dinner; Ernest Borgnine sets a rabbit trap; and greyhounds chase a "rabbit".

ILoveRayMilland's Notes _My Notes:_ First off, this challenge was tons of fun! My thanks go to Chip! With this schedule I tried to do a little more branching out than the last one. And consequently there are several films I have never seen before. Whereas, my last schedule was almost exclusively films I had already viewed. I ended up finishing the schedule yesterday, which was quite a feat, considering I was babysitting my two younger brothers the ENTIRE day! It was pretty hectic. I was simultaneously cleaning the house, doing the dishes, cooking lunch, then dinner, doing a blog post, trying to finish my math book, working on this schedule, and attempting to keep my brothers from either killing each other or burning down the house... Anyways: Sunday: My first theme (Carriage theme) came about because I watched all three of those films for the first time within a month of each other. And a definite pattern emerged, namely, each of the three female characters wait for a carriage to arrive that promises love and happiness. But, it never arrives/stops for them. I absolutely ADORE Pat Hitchcock. Seeing her on film always brings a smile to my face. She was a very gifted character actress. It's a pity she didn't do more. BTW, I wrote a simple note to her last summer and received back a personalized, handwritten note thanking me for my letter! Cyd Charisse is a continuing theme throughout my week. I wanted to program "The Band Wagon", but I ended up needing it later on in the week for my little brother's films. Both Silents Sundays and TCM Imports are films that are new to me. Both imports were nominated for an Oscar. Monday: The Redheads theme is pretty easy to understand. I tried to show only color films, but then just gave up. I completely forgot about Deborah Kerr until too late! Another Cyd entry... The Robert Benchley short was Oscar nominated. My star of the month is Walter Slezak. I know it is rather unusual choice, but he is great character actor, adept at drama and comedy. He is simply amazing. And, I wanted to honor him. Tuesday: "Never Before" is just a fun (well it's supposed to be) little theme. The exact quotes are: *Now Voyager* = "No member of the Vale family has ever had a nervous breakdown." -Gladys Cooper *Pillow Talk* = "We'll go to Mexico. I've never been married in Mexico before. -Tony Randall *The Lady Eve* = "That couch has been there 15 years and nobody ever fell over it before!" -Eugene Pallette I needed something to fill the space so I schedule these nice, mind-smushing entertainments for my summer theme. I didn't realize until later why I had done that. It was because Hawaii Five-O had been playing in the background while I worked...hahaha! I do believe Washington is the most beautiful state in the USA. I jumped at the chance to program films set here (although there sadly aren't many). My favorite choice was probably *The Egg And I* . The movie is a fun little story, but really everyone should read the original book by Betty MacDonald. Simply Hilarious! I would have programmed some Ma & Pa Kettles, but those are Universal's and I didn't feel like using up a theme. BTW, *Roll On Columbia, Roll On* is an actual song title. It is Washington's state song and was written by Woody Guthrie. Wednesday: I randomly happened upon the info that this day was Wilfrid Hyde-White's birthday, so I threw in a few films in which he appeared. I didn't have any premieres left though, so I had to use whatever I could get. Joel McCrea NEVER gets near enough of the attention and recognition he deserves, so here is a little for him. I mean, seriously, he was AMAZING! *GUEST PROGRAMMERS:* I was trying to think of a good guest programmer, when he suddenly it came to me. I would use Sarah and Harley (a.k.a. Sarah1493 and Harlowcutie11). Two of my dear, fellow teen-aged, classic film lovers. They have both been members of these boards for some time now. They are also on practically EVERY other classic film site out there. It is difficult for me to find a place where they are not (not that I'm trying to). We have fun together here, on Blogger, at Miss-Vintage, Vintage Style Network, The Golden Age Of Hollywood, Ambitiously Audrey (hehehe remember that, Sarah) etc, etc..... They also both have stupendously amazing blogs, which you NEED to check out: Sarah at _Cinema Splendor_ Harley at _Dreaming in Black and White_ Anyways, I asked them both if they could choose two films and answer the question, "Why did you choose this film?" for each of their choices. Here they are: Harley's choices: *Guys and Dolls* and *Indiscreet* . Alternates that weren't used: Laura and Gentleman's Agreement. Me: Why did you choose *Guys and Dolls* ? *Harley: No, I'm not a big fan of musicals. Quite frankly, I hate them. But when one musical happens to be from Old Hollywood and stars no less than the Frank Sinatra, you should know I'm going to make an exception in my no musicals ever policy. I know Marlon Brando got top billing in this film, but I was a little wary in seeing him singing. Stanley Kowalski singing? Uh, ok. Well, I gave it a shot and I fell in love with the movie and the lead stars. This film was so enjoyable to watch because of it's plot. I watched this film and fell in love with the character of Nathan Detroit, wanted very much to be his fiancee of fourteen years, Adelaide, and found the songs were all stuck in my head, and I can proudly say, they're stuck permanently. While watching Guys and Dolls, it struck me that it takes a real man to sing and dance while shooting dice, and their "proper" way of speaking really endeared itself to me. They were all so natural. From Sinatra's absolutely gorgeous renditions of the songs to the hilarious lines they used, it was the making of a brand new love affair, which had me singing: "Sue me, sue me..."* Me: Why did you choose *Indiscreet* ? *Harley: Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. It doesn't matter what the genre, I will watch whatever these two appear in. And how fortunate was I to see them in this charming romantic comedy from 1958. Who ever heard of a movie about a man pretending to be married, all so he can have a secret affair with an actress? In France? I guess one reason why I love this film is because of the natural quality of both Cary and Ingrid. As you watch them, it's hard to tell if they really are acting. Everything about this film is sophisticated, and indiscreetly amusing as well. You can't help but fall in love with Cary and Ingrid, and with the movie as well.* Now, onto Sarah! Sarah's choices: *The Three Faces of Eve* and *Wait Until Dark.* Alternates that weren't used: *Bye Bye Birdie* and *The Sterile Cuckoo* Me: Why did you choose *The Three Faces of Eve* ? *Sarah: I could pick it for the cinematography. I could pick it for the great performances of the supporting cast. But ultimately, I picked it for Joanne Woodward. She plays a Georgia housewife with multiple personality disorder, based on a true story. She portrays three different personalities; Eve White, a shy housewife, Eve Black, a saucy single woman, and Jane, a happy mother and wife. I?ve done some acting myself, so I cannot imagine playing 3 personalities in one show. Just for that, Joanne could possibly be a film goddess. In the end, it?s Jane who takes over Eve White?s life, and I was glad it was her. Jane loves Eve?s daughter, and marries a cutie after divorcing her skeevy, uncaring husband. Although, my favorite personality is probably Eve Black; whose isn?t? Eve Black is liberated, flirty and wears fancy cocktail dresses. She smokes, drinks, sings and dances, and loves to have a good time.* Me: Why did you pick *Wait Until Dark* ? *Sarah: Wait Until Dark is what I would call one of the greatest thrillers ever made. Alan Arkin?s performance as a gangbuster is easily Oscar worthy. He makes his character seem smooth and sophisticated, although he is carrying out a huge crime plot. Since all of Audrey Hepburn?s other films were comedies, romances or musicals, this movie completely sticks out in her career. She was nominated for an Oscar and totally deserved it. She plays a blind woman so convincingly, I wondered if they did something that wouldn?t make her see. All of her movements and glances were perfect and true to the character. Being in almost complete darkness, the last 10 or so minutes of the movie were so suspenseful and freaky.. I would recommend this movie to anyone with a love of thrillers.* Thank you so much Sarah and Harley! You did more than I ever expected! Next, I programmed *Funny Face* , simply because if there's one thing we agree on it's our undying adoration of Audrey Hepburn (in fact, that's what brought us all together in the first place...) Thursday: Marcel Dalio is one of my favorite character actors. I first recognized him by name around the 56th time I watch *Pillow Talk* . But, I knew him long before that. He always pops up on film (take a look at his filmography some time and you will understand), usually wearing some disguise. To me, he's like the French version of Thomas Mitchell. Never known by name, but instantly recognizable. Besides those in his tribute he is in 4 other films in my week's schedules. And that was NOT on purpose. (Films are: *Casablanca, How To Steal A Million, Pillow Talk* , and *Lovely To Look At* ). Another in my Cyd Charisse theme... Lucky 13 was a rather unlucky challenge for me. I had my schedule all but wrapped up, when Nicoley posted her's. Quite depressingly, I discovered she had the same exact idea as I (the 13th film released of a particular actor). In fact, we had both scheduled *The Gunfighter* . I needed to think of something else fast, so that was it. Not very clever, but it was something. BTW, I saw *Pillow Talk* for the very first time on my 13th birthday. (My mom and I watch a movie I have never seen every year for my birthday.) Since then I have seen it 89,732 1/2 times. Friday: In *AYITRAF* Tyrone Power plays an American who enlists in the RAF during WWII. In *WFTP* Tyrone plays a Brit in the RAF in WWII. This is just an interesting little sample of Mr. Powers chameleon-like abilities. He played many different characters and nationalities over the years: Spanish, British, Mexican, Irish, American, etc. Yet, he is completely believable in each role. AMAZING! Three films, with major themes dealing with how a father's love (or lack-thereof) affects their sons. I wanted to do an entire theme about films, featuring dances turning into fights, but one of my favorite examples ( *Guys and Dolls* ) was already on the schedule. So, I just decided to program these two little beauties. I j'adore Bobby Darin (a.k.a. My Darlin' Darin). I picked this week just so I could include a birthday tribute! Sadly, I couldn't do much, because most of his films were either indies or made at Universal (and as usual I had run out of premieres). I chose his Oscar-nominated role (he totally should have WON!), his famous debut (yes, I know I already showed it on my Walter Slezak day...), and a lovely gem of him and his wife Sandra that I own and have seen approximately 6 trillion times. I will confess, the Underground has always been a difficult one for me to program, because I simply don't watch many films that actually qualify for it. But, after a little research I decided to schedule these films (with the ageless theme of the Juvenile Delinquent). I found it particularly interesting to learn that *WAYC* was considered one of the very first JD exploitation films. Saturday: My final day is just a joyful day. There is not an unhappy ending in the entire line-up. I started off with a group of films/performers my youngest brother adores (this is the brother who dressed up like James Dean for fifties day at his co-op, drew a drawing of Cary Grant in his art class, likes to watch old musicals (particularly if they were choreographed by Kidd) with me and dance around the kitchen to the music, and a million other things he would kill me if I told you....). Bob Hope is too amazing for words for him (I started him on the amazing Hope, when he was VERY young). Michael Kidd rules his little world (another favorite person of mine, my little brother would have preferred *Guys and Dolls* , although he loves *Band Wagon* ). My bro has a strange adoration for Jack Lemmon (surprise, surprise...one of my top ten actors). *The Great Race* is the only one of Jack's films he's allowed to see, but it made a big impression on him. Also, Ross Martin has a small part in that film. Ross Martin's most famous role was probably that of Artemus Gordon on the TV show, *Wild, Wild West* , a show my family adores. Ross is an absolute genius! A genius with acting, costumes, accents, comedy...everything! My brother more has a thing for the movie than for Tyrone Power. But, he did enjoy him in it. My brother truly idolizes Donald in *SITR* . Cary Grant didn't often play unsavory characters, but when he did, he played them with so much charm you can't help but like him. A lot of people probably don't consider *HTSAM* an essential, but I do. It has a great witty script, superbly directed by William Wyler. It stars Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. And enlists the supporting help of such greats as: Charles Boyer, Hugh Griffith, Eli Wallach, and (guess who?) Marcel Dalio. This is a must-see film that only gets better with each new viewing! I love musicals (especially those big splashy MGM ones) and I love Howard Keel. Howard Keel musicals are things deserving of adoration. Just for fun (I'm swiping this idea from another participant, hope they won't mind!): 1920's = 2 1930's = 5 1940's = 25 1950's = 38 1960's = 17 Hitchcock's (my favorite director): 6 Minnelli's (not even in my top 10): 6 Donen's (I don't even include him in my top 15): 6 Audrey Hepburn's (2nd favorite actress): 7 Ingrid Bergman's (favorite actress): 3 Thanks so much, for sticking with me throughout these long notes!

nicoley13's Programming Notes PROGRAMMING NOTES/RAMBLES First of all, some general things. The week this is supposed to be doesn?t really matter, although the way I set up one theme it should probably be the first week of some month or another. Taking advantage of the ?not required to? bit, I didn?t include shorts and such; it?s all features. And I hope you like the thirties, which as you can probably tell from my schedule is my favorite decade. So to start off the week we have more submarine movies than you ever wanted to see in one place. I?m not crazy about war movies generally but I do like sub movies. It?s the ocean and the claustrophobia I guess. This theme is pretty well self-explanatory, but the last film here (The Enemy Below) is my first premiere for the week. It?s a cat-and-mouse game between American destroyer captain Robert Mitchum and German U-boat commander Curd Jurgens during World War II. Excellent film, one of my favorite sub movies, and note who directed it (Dick Powell). For Sunday night?s double feature the theme is Coping With Old Age, aka An Excuse to Schedule Leo McCarey?s Make Way For Tomorrow. I haven?t seen it but it sounds fantastic. For a somewhat lighter follow-up I added The Sunshine Boys, with Walter Matthau and George Burns as old vaudeville partners who team up again but can?t stand each other. For Silent Sunday Nights and TCM Imports I chose a couple movies I haven?t seen and would like to. The silent is Clara Bow in It and the foreign film is Jean Gabin in Pepe le Moko. I almost changed it after helenbaby?s Gabin films, but hey, it?s a different movie. Nice choices, by the way. To follow that up I included a couple more movies with French stars, but this time Hollywood stars in Hollywood movies. So we have Charles Boyer and Maurice Chevalier, both in films also featuring Claudette Colbert, who isn?t as ?French? as the two guys but WAS born there. I know, I know, Pepe le Moko should be followed by Algiers, but we?ve seen that one enough already, right? Then to start off the fun-filled work/school week I scheduled several bad movies with big stars. I?m not quite sure if this concept would really make anyone feel better or if sitting through these duds would just make things worse. Oh well. Apologies if you think any of these are better than their reputations, but they?re at least not exactly the best movies in any of the stars? filmographies. So you get the King and Queen of Hollywood in Parnell, Humphrey Bogart?s favorite movie, skating stars James Stewart and Joan Crawford, John Wayne as Genghis Khan, and Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant dragging an enormous cannon (and Sophia Loren) around Napoleonic Spain. Following patful?s example, instead of doing the usual birthday tributes, for my week I picked a couple of people born during February instead. Actually I didn?t realize patful does this, but it?s a swell idea; sorry for stealing it. So anyway first up is Madeleine Carroll (born February 26, 1906), an actress who became very popular in her native Britain before coming to Hollywood and signing a contract with Paramount. She?s best remembered as arguably the first Hitchcock blonde in The 39 Steps and Secret Agent. Although I LOVE The 39 Steps, I opted instead to include Secret Agent, along with the Bob Hope spy spoof My Favorite Blonde and a comedy I dug out of the Columbia vaults, It?s All Yours with Francis Lederer. Monday night is my thirteen theme, which I?m sure needs some explaining; I?d be amazed if anyone figured out what on earth these movies have in common. You see, I set out on a mission to prove that the number thirteen is in fact lucky. To do this, I took a completely scientific, random sample of various stars? thirteenth-released feature films, and surprisingly enough, I came up with half a dozen very good movies! Well anyway, I came up with them eventually. So then Gregory Peck?s thirteenth-released feature was The Gunfighter, Kirk Douglas?s was Detective Story, Paul Newman?s The Hustler, Joseph Cotten?s Portrait of Jennie, Rosalind Russell?s Craig?s Wife, and Katharine Hepburn?s Stage Door. The Gunfighter, a great western directed by Henry King, is a premiere from over at Fox. I figure these movies also make up for the morning?s awfulness. On Tuesday we again have a theme that sorta makes up for another theme, this time because I feel a little guilty about not using my home state or a city therein for my location theme (see Tuesday primetime). So instead I?m saluting film people born and/or raised in the great state of Wisconsin, known for its dairy products, beer, and slightly nutty football fans. These people include Dennis Morgan (Prentice), Jack Carson (born in Canada, raised in Milwaukee), Pat O?Brien (Milwaukee), Carole Landis (Fairchild), Orson Welles (Kenosha), Nicholas Ray (Galesville), Don Ameche (Kenosha), Fred MacMurray (born in Illinois, raised in Beaver Dam), Fredric March (Racine), and Spencer Tracy (Milwaukee). Not bad, eh? The Spencer Tracy movie (Me and My Gal, costarring Joan Bennett) is a premiere from Tracy?s early days at Fox. So Tuesday primetime is dedicated to films set in a New Orleans long before Hurricane Katrina. First up is another premiere, Panic in the Streets (1950), which was shot entirely on location in New Orleans. It stars Richard Widmark as a doctor trying to trace everyone who came in contact with a plague-infected murder victim so he can keep the disease from spreading. Next is Elia Kazan depicting the Big Easy again (A Streetcar Named Desire), and this is followed by another adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play (Suddenly, Last Summer). Finally we go back in time to pre-Civil War New Orleans with Bette Davis in Jezebel and back even further to the eighteenth century with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy?s first film together, Naughty Marietta. The second person born in February gets their tribute Wednesday morning: the charming Mr. Ramon Novarro (born February 6, 1899). Here we have four of his talkies, including his first (Devil-May-Care) and a couple musicals from a few years later. Turns out he could not only talk but sing as well. If you haven?t seen The Night Is Young (Novarro?s last movie for MGM), it comes highly recommended from me. Next is a very unoriginal amnesia theme featuring four of the usual suspects, but it allows me to schedule several films I really like. (Okay, so I?m actually rather fond of the silly plot device.) Random Harvest is wonderful (but you knew that); I Love You Again is probably my favorite Powell/Loy movie (well unless Libeled Lady counts, but let?s call that a Powell/Loy/Tracy/Harlow movie); Spellbound isn?t my favorite Hitchcock but it?s hard to resist Bergman and Peck; Love Letters is a lovely film (screenplay by?Ayn Rand?!). Wednesday primetime is my star of the month, Joan Blondell, whom I just adore, as I?m sure a lot of you do. (I had Ronald Colman until countessdelave used him; don?t worry, I managed to include a few Colman films throughout the schedule anyway.) I started out the evening with Lawyer Man just cause I haven?t seen it (and it costars William Powell!!). All eight of these movies were released in 1932 or 1933 (and there are TEN more), which I think shows nicely how Warner Brothers worked their actors half to death in those days. I purposefully left out movies with James Cagney and with Glenda Farrell, thinking it might be a good idea to show them as a group some other night. (Question: Am I allowed to schedule Convention City? No? Oookay.) Much of the day Thursday is Movies So Exciting Their Titles End in Exclamation Points! I just always think this looks tacky, no matter how appropriate the annoying exclamation mark might be. I used this as an opportunity to unearth a couple of Columbia movies, a Roz Russell romantic comedy called What a Woman! and a Joe E. Brown comedy called Beware Spooks! I was also sure to include a couple of early Goldwyn talkies, Eddie Cantor in Technicolor in Whoopee! and Ronald Colman in The Devil to Pay! (very cute movie). For a month-long spotlight I?m showcasing the silver screen?s biggest entertainment rival in those pre-television days and how it was depicted in movies. I started out the month with Woody Allen?s Radio Days and followed that with two premieres. The first of these is Paramount?s radio musical The Big Broadcast (1932), which started a series of Big Broadcast films and features a bunch of radio stars (Bing Crosby, Burns and Allen, the Mills Brothers, the Boswell Sisters, Kate Smith, Cab Calloway, etc.). The second is Love Thy Neighbor starring Jack Benny and Fred Allen, they of the famous radio feud. I also included the noirish thriller The Unsuspected with Claude Rains as a radio personality (Claude Rains, with that voice, on the radio ? I?m for that!), the Red Skelton comedy Whistling in the Dark with Skelton as a radio detective, and Twenty Million Sweethearts, WB?s version of a radio musical. Friday starts out with several movies involving Scotland Yard detectives solving various mysteries. In the first one Scotland Yard gets a little help from Sherlock Holmes. Next is a tribute to Ruth Chatterton, who was not born in February but rather was born on Christmas Eve, and since I?m not much interested in ever programming Christmas, I thought I?d just sneak her in here. Chatterton had her pick of melodramas over at Paramount until Warners grabbed her in 1932. She made half a dozen movies there before her career mostly fizzled out (Dodsworth notwithstanding). So here are several of her WB movies. Friday night?s theme I came up with because I wanted to do something related to finance/economics/the current situation in some way. So these are three movies depicting banks and bankers way back in the thirties. The first is a premiere and a film I really like, House of Strangers, starring Edward G. Robinson (whose character runs a bank), Richard Conte, and Susan Hayward. (It?s from the late forties but is set mostly in the thirties.) I also included American Madness and the Marie Dressler movie Prosperity. Interesting that all three bank presidents in these films are good guys (the Robinson character is iffy, but he?s hardly Mr. Potter). For TCM Underground I scheduled Mommie Dearest basically because I couldn?t come up with much else (not too interested in cult movies, sorry). In an attempt to make it up to poor Joan, I followed this with a film from probably the high point of her career, at Warners after her Mildred Pierce Oscar. Your Saturday morning western theme is in the vein of westerns for people who don?t like westerns. (Not that I don?t like westerns?) It?s several comedians doing western comedies: Buster Keaton and Brown Eyes the cow in Go West, Laurel & Hardy in one of their best, the Marx Brothers in one of their worst (at least it?s not The Big Store), and Bob Hope and Jane Russell in The Paleface. Abbott & Costello also went west; so did Martin & Lewis, and Bob Hope a couple more times; there?s also W.C. Fields and Mae West in My Little Chickadee?twas used a lot. Saturday afternoon is a tribute to the great lyricist Johnny Mercer, who would?ve been 100 this year. The first two films feature songs he won Academy Awards for, ?On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe? from The Harvey Girls and ?In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening? from Here Comes the Groom. (Had to get Bing in here somewhere; they were friends and Bing sang a lot of his songs.) He also won Oscars for ?Moon River? (Breakfast at Tiffany?s) and ?Days of Wine and Roses? (movie of same title). The Sky?s the Limit includes Fred Astaire?s introduction of ?One for My Baby? (also ?My Shining Hour?); Blues in the Night features the title song and several more collaborations with Harold Arlen; Hard to Get introduced the Mercer/Harry Warren song ?You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby.? Finally (it?s almost over!), for The Essentials I picked Trouble in Paradise because it?s marvelous and Lubitsch is marvelous, etc. etc. Then I programmed a bunch of pre-Codes about jewel thieves and the like. What?s nice about these is that you could get away with it without being sent to jail or something. (The ending of the 1939 version of Raffles?no fun at all.) If this is any good it?s because it?s my first time; I think I used up the sum total of my classic film knowledge in this one schedule, ha. Actually I have a few ideas left over, but I can?t imagine doing more than a couple more of these. I have no idea how those of you who?ve done so many of them manage it.

*Patful's Challenge #13 Notes* No explanations necessary on most of my themes, as usual. My schedule features the week of *March 7-13, 2010* . Other than my *Star of the Month* , none of the themes consist of more than four films, excluding shorts. With some of the posters on the Message Boards whining about overly-long themes, which I actually enjoy, I found that it was a huge challenge coming up with so many for one week. That's one aspect of the programmers' jobs I don't envy. And I apologize to Chip for not thoroughly reading his rules regarding free silent films. Three of my premieres are silents. Oops. If anyone is curious, *La Mort du Cygne* appeared once on TCM in October, 1996. I found that tidbit in the comments on the movie at IMDb. For my *Sunday Family Night* I chose to feature child actress *Sharyn Moffett* , who oddly co-starred with dogs in six of her thirteen movies and shorts. I again linked my *Silent Sundays* and *TCM Imports* with a common theme, this time post-war Europe. Nothing like a night of refugees, hunger, depression, and a lost kid to cheer you up, no? I again included a birthday salute for stars born in February, TCM's *31 Days of Oscar month* , this time for the lovely and talented *Merle Oberon* . My Lucky 13 theme is a bit of a stretch. It is regrettably titled *Double-M-Named Silent Film Actresses with Hard-Luck Stories Portraying Hard-Luck Characters* . Really. I spent my entire first week coming up with the idea. No, I wasn't drinking or smoking anything. As filmlover has previously noted, M is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet, so I figured two M's has to be even more unlucky than one, if you believe that sort of thing. As I went through all the actors with those initials and their biographies, I noticed that these four silent actresses had a pretty rough time at some point in their lives. My info came from TCM's Database, IMDb, and Wiki, so its validity is uncertain. Since I normally don't delve into stars' private lives and can't back it up, I'm leaving out the details. I picked movies in which they played down-on-their-luck women. No, I won't explain it again. Serious headache. My *Star of the Month* is the lovely and talented *Marsha Hunt* . She was already my choice before that thread started a few weeks ago, and I was terrified that someone else would choose her. Whew! My *Location! Location!* theme features movies shot around the beautiful *Jackson Hole, Wyoming* area. And no, the short wasn't filmed there. I would have liked to give a nod to my hometown, but only two big-time movies have been filmed here. No, I didn't misspell anything in my *Glenn Ford* night! I worked very hard on my *Underground* picks for a change. I'm a hick, and I love it when people make fun of us. Hope you enjoy, or gag! My *Essentials* choice was *Bride of Frankenstein* . A good movie, and it features the lovely and talented *Elsa Lanchester* . I followed it up with *Young Frankenstein* , of course, and *Rocky Horror* . And what better way to get Chip's tie-breaking vote? Thanks again for taking over this Challenge, Chip. I am eternally grateful.
