I would like to see 1962's "Walk On The Wild Side" with Barbara Stanwyk, Capucine, Lawrence Harvey, Anne Baxter, & Jane Fonda. The setting is the French Quarter in New Orleans and the story involves the redemption of a prostitute with tragic consequences. The acting is great and who could forget the opening and closing credits with that beautiful black cat strutting across the screen to Elmer Bernstein's beautiful musical score.

I sure would love to see TCM air the 1962 Jules Dassin film "Phaedra" starring the wonderful Melina Mercouri and Anthony Perkins. I remember seeing the movie in the late 60's at LSU and leaving the student theater spellbound by the sheer artistry of this modern day classic. In case you haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing it, the film is a modern day version of the Euripides tragedy and is high drama at its best. This is one movie that deserves a comeback.
