The following thread my interest you, regarding Cooper: http://forums.turnerclassicmovies.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?messageID=7787964

Ivanhoe?

Thanks, What role in what film was changed from a lewd clergyman to a more "respectable" government official for fear of censorship?

Rear Window?

Unless I missed it, I wanted to add Margo to this list of single screen name actresses. I just saw her in Winterset (1936), which was Burgess Meredith's screen debut.

That's correct, you are MrRightLA;-)

Which film was the director preparing when he got that fateful bid (a wire, actually) to come to Hollywood (from producer David O. Selznick)?

That's right, thanks for the remind;-) One could also count the many silent pictures that were remade as sound era pictures by the same director.

It does, and I haven't seen Farrow's remake Back from Eternity yet either. The only other directors I know of who have done this are William Wyler (These Three & The Children's Hour) and Alfred Hitchcock (The Man Who Knew Too Much 1934 & 1956).

William Holden, who was a pretty fair tennis player himself!

I must have missed the speculation to which you've referred, and I agree with you that any future challenge threads belong here on these boards.

Not a channel I receive, unfortunately. Please check your private messages again, thanks allie!

I'll guess Shadow of a Doubt (1943) as the favorite, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941) as his least favorite.

This week's TCM Picks have been posted: http://www.classicfilmguide.com/index.php?s=tcm#apr20 and Thursday begins with a birthday salute to the great silent comedian Harold Lloyd, including perhaps his best sound era feature The Milky Way (1936) followed by a pretty good compilation documentary (produced & directed by Lloyd himself); that evening's lineup features five SOTM Deborah Kerr films from the 1950's; on Friday, writer Norman Panama's birthday is celebrated; Sunday's schedule is full of great films including the TCM premiere of Anthony Quinn's career performance in Zorba the Greek (1964); next Monday is Shirley MacLaine's birthday, and several of her films (and a Private Screenings) follow several Glenn Ford features before the evening gives way to "Same Director Remakes" during which the original "Survivor" movie Five Came Back (1939) and the essential comedy Ball of Fire (1941) will be shown before director John Farrow's and Howard Hawks's, respectively remakes are aired; Tuesday will be the last day dedicated to James Wong Howe's cinematography and next Wednesday features guest programmer Illeana Douglas's great picks.

Brief Encounter (1945)

allieharding, send me an e-mail or a private message with your choice of prizes and shipping address so that I can have your TCM Challenge award sent to you. Thanks!

You are correct. For the record, it's a clip from the Silly Symphony cartoon Who Killed **** Robin?, shown (as always by the director) at a particularly unfunny time. One of the things I've always loved best about Hitchcock is his sense of (dark) humor. Your turn MrWriteLA ...

Welcome, glad you've joined us. Each of us, at one time or another, "found" classic movies and were enriched by the experience. It's something wonderful, of course, something to be shared, certainly. As for myself, pre-code films were a late addition to my classic film education, and I've been relishing in the genre ever since. There are a lot of knowledgeable people who participate on these forums that are willing to share what they know freely and joyfully with those who are willing to listen. I encourage you to read the wealth of information already posted to these message boards, although sometimes the threads have gotten older than the search's ability to find them, and you may have to weed through some noise occasionally. But believe me, it's worth it.

It aired February of this year, already, and was shown three times (February, August, and October) in 2005.

Thanks, btw, "we" failed to name the color used in Spellbound ... it was red. Next question: Which film directed by Alfred Hitchcock includes a sequence from a Walt Disney cartoon?

GWTW? No, of course not, it was Titanic!

Correct, your turn ...

Which B&W Hitchcock film has 1/12 of a second interposed with a single Technicolor? Which color and why?

Yes, you just didn't read deep enough into this folder to find our earlier discussion: http://forums.turnerclassicmovies.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?threadID=74051&tstart=30

The Wrong Man (1956)
