[Help with name of Red Skelton movie, please]

 

Can someone help me with the name of a Red Skelton movie? It's one where Red and his ladyfriend are trapped by the bad guys in a military surplus warehouse and to call for help they start using some walkie-talkies they found. The signals break into radio shows and into the audio of a late-forties or early fifities tv broadcast. I saw this in the sixties on tv and can't recall the title.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

[A Big Thank You To TCM!]

I'm not quite sure where to post this, but I want to thank the programmers at TCM for showing the East Side Kids movies. Not because they're great cinema, or even fundamentally watchable, but because they are part of film history. TCM has made available to us everything from Ben-Hur to Lawrence of Arabia to (now) Mr. Wise Guy. This is an amazing service TCM provides- commercial free, remember!- and we are fortunate to see even those zero-budget East Side Kids romps.

 

Thank you, TCM!

[Across the Pacific]

During the post-broadcast notes n' news for Across the Pacific, Robert Osborne spoke of a scene in which Bogie is tied to a chair in the house near the Panama Canal. Director Huston set up the situation, which was not in the script, and then left to do Signal Corps films. I don't remember that scence in the broadcast: I recorded the movie on my DVR, and searched it a couple of times but can't find the scene.

 

Can anyone help? Thanks,-

This thread seems a little comatose, so I thought I'd re-ignite it.

I agree with many of the comments I've read here: TCM would meet the needs of many viewers and their children if there were a regularly scheduled block of "family" films. Great stuff such as The Yearling does air, but I think many TCM'ers would like to see maybe a Saturday morning round-up of family films, cartoons and even a chapter of a serial play out over tweleve, thirteen or fifteen weeks.

Just my .02 cents
