Happy birthday, Laraine Day!
I'm looking forward to watching The Locket for the first time. I also wish Foreign Correspondent could be shown today.
Fedya--It's going to be hard to watch I Married A Communist again without mentally recasting it with actors from The Godfather and The Sopranos. Fun! Thanks!

I'm happy to read that TCM is producing a Val Lewton documentary.

I know people--people very close to me--who hate these films, but I love them. These might not be what you mean by the term--but they wouldn't fit my idea of good mindbenders, if they weren't also heart-crushers. I experienced an intense emotional reaction to all these movies at different times in my life--and I'm still trying to figure them out.
Vampyr 1932
Meshes Of The Afternoon (1943)

The Innocents (1961)
if.... (1968)
Don't Look Now (1973)
3 Women (1977)
Pi (1998)

I like this movie, too. But I don't understand about the "35mm print material". Is this something that would prevent a good DVD version from being made? I'm sorry if that's a silly guess. If you don't mind, could you explain, please? Thank you.

Hello. I know it's difficult to find new movies suitable for the whole family. Not everyone would agree, of course, but I think most of TCM's programming is "safe" for families. These are--for the most part--movies well worth discussing at the dinner table.
TCM has a Family Films Forum:

There are many websites where you can get advice on family films. Here's a sampling:

This is one of my family's favorite movies:
Stars In My Crown (1950)

Ahhh. Even this version makes me teary. Thanks.

Interesting how hard it is to tell John and Lionel Barrymore apart in some photos. I'm guessing Lionel Barrymore in:
The Thirteenth Hour (1927)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018480/
?? Barrymore (1927, 29???)
CineSage jr---You don't happen to have a photo of John Barrymore in Mad Genius, do you? I've looked and looked for one because the descriptions I've read of the movie make me wonder. That Google image is supposed to be of Lionel, but it could be mislabeled.

You're welcome. I'm still learning my way around here.
I just discovered the EMBED THIS VIDEO feature (by moving cursor to the right of the screen) in the media room, but haven't been able to make it work to send a link for a single video.
Using SEND A LINK results in the address for the whole media room index:
Shortcut to: http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/index/#player_area'>http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/index/#player_area
which is almost the same as a simple copy of the address:
http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/index/
Could somebody please explain how to send a link to a particular video? Thank you.

I'm sorry. I forgot you wanted to know about the newsletters. When you log out you get a page called MEMBER SERVICES. Under PRODUCTS you'll see TCM NEWSLETTERS. Click that for an order form. (If you get the MEMBER SIGN-IN page, the newsletter info is on the right side.)
I also forgot about the feedback page! You can get answers there as well. This website is stuffed full of goodies.

FrankG--Why, thank you. That's very kind. (I've been told before that my tastes are too eclectic, but I can't figure out what's wrong with that.)

Hi. For years I thought I was the only one who loved Cat People, Curse of the Cat People, I Walked With A Zombie, and The Leopard Man; so, it's been great fun reading other posters' takes on these movies. There's a Curse of the Cat People thread in the Film & Filmmakers forum, if you haven't seen it already. (BTW, I saw Lewton's odd comedy Please Believe Me for the first time earlier this week. Not in the same league with the best Lewton films, but Deborah Kerr and Peter Lawford were amusing, at least.)

It's a shame Theresa Harris didn't get bigger, more glamorous roles, but, fortunately, she was always really good, held her own against the stars. The most honest relationship in Baby Face was the one between Stanwyck's Lily and Harris' Chico.

This is the cutest thread. The 39 Steps, It Happened One Night, They Live By Night--great movies. Being chased by reporters and police officers. All swell, exciting stuff.
However--may I suggest you kidnap your parents (or favorite family member), take them along for the ceremony? I know a few couples who eloped, and their only regret is that they didn't include their immediate families (not creepy, freeloading distant relations or annoying co-workers) in the wedding. Someone has to witness the legal proceedings. Do you really want it to be a bored stranger with a cold? It wouldn't quite violate the whole elopement mystique if you put handcuffs on your loved ones! The wedding pictures--everyone in cuffs--would be adorable. Just saying.

Lisatake--Hello and welcome. You can also use the TCM database. Click on DB HOME at upper left of this page under the changing home logo. On the database page, at the search engine screen on the left, select TITLE from the drop menu, enter the title, click GO. At the next page, click on the brief description for Five Came Back (1939) and you'll get this page:
http://www.tcmdb.com/title/title.jsp?stid=151
On the right side of that page you'll find the scheduling information. At the moment it reads: "Title is not currently scheduled." (I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie on TCM within the last year. Should be on next year's schedule.) It's fun to explore the database, entering a lot of different titles and names, reading the synopses and articles.
You can get emails reminding you when certain movies will be playing by clicking the appropriate place on the right side of the schedule page. You have to be logged in to do this. (There was a board update last month and some people here had trouble with multiple emails from TCM, but I think that's not a problem anymore.) My apologies, if this isn't clear.

madeleine2322---That's so nice to read! Thank you.

Happy birthday, Mongo! Thank you for your wonderful contributions to these boards.

All those ladies were lovely, but there were more. I don't think anyone's mentioned Patricia Medina or Theresa Harris yet. Both were beautiful, gifted, and not properly showcased by Hollywood.

Loyalty, words of encouragement, manicures. The best monsters respond to simple respect and kindness. The others are as unrelenting as Mitchum's Preacher in The Night of the Hunter--or, um, those cabbage-headed saucer-men.

guppy--Hello. My family and I enjoy the media room very much. There's something for everyone. In addition to trailers, you can watch the featured film (currently Way Out West--1937), play movie clips, promos, featurettes and short subjects. (I recently watched Flying Padre--a Stanley Kubrick short from 1951 about a New Mexican priest/pilot.) You can scroll down to the lists of 177 video pages, or click BROWSE on the right and select by genre from the drop MENU, or type in a title (or name) in SEARCH. It's easy to add items to your playlist by clicking ADD at the bottom of each video description or to change what's playing by clicking PLAY. Hope this is of some help to you.

Any Spencer Tracy Fans?
in Your Favorites
Posted
Thank you for starting a Spencer Tracy thread. I loved Tracy in 20,000 Years In Sing Sing, The Murder Man, Fury, Boys Town, Northwest Passage, Inherit The Wind, and, especially, Libeled Lady and Bad Day At Black Rock.
Even in his most benign and comically-befuddled roles, he comes across as smart, tough, and tormented by some secret pain. His mannerisms--the popped eyes, double takes, hands over the face--can irritate in movies I don't like. But, oh well. He could phone in a performance with so much steely presence and mischievous stage business, that I can't take my eyes off him. This might be the minority opinion, but I'd rather see him playing against Jean Harlow and Myrna Loy than Katharine Hepburn. (I like her a lot in other--non-Tracy--movies.)
