Here is the November schedule: http://turnerclassicmovies.com/Schedule/Print/0,,11-2003|0|,00.html Based upon your description though, I couldn't find it.

catcarson, I want to thank you for clueing me in re: these studio books. Unfortunately, our library system only had The United Artist Story. However, I just finished it and LOVED it! I'll try to find the others somehow, seems both B&N and Amazon have copies listed used from various dealers. Has anyone ever purchased a used book this way? I'm not sure if it's safe or risky;- )

Stella Dallas with Barbara Stanwyck and Alan Hale

A quick search of the schedule yielded only these two: Heavenly Body, The / 1943 CAST: William Powell, Hedy Lamarr, James Craig. An astronomer's neglected wife takes up astrology and a handsome astrologer. BW 95m. CC Comedy. D: Alexander Hall. PLAYING ON TCM: 12/15/2003 06:00 PM Come Live With Me / 1941 CAST: James Stewart, Hedy Lamarr, Ian Hunter. A Viennese refugee weds a struggling author platonically so she can stay in the U.S. BW 87m. CC Romance. D: Clarence Brown. PLAYING ON TCM: 12/16/2003 08:00 PM Perhaps antar can tell us if either is worth watching; -) Maltin's guide give two stars to the first, three stars to the latter.

I wonder what he (or TCM) showed on his 60th birthday earlier this year? I guess they ignored it or, if they did "celebrate" it, no one else here saw it and remembered.

Her name was familiar, but I couldn't offhand think of a film she was in that I'd seen. So glad I looked her up: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0580916/bio I've seen a handful of her films. Ironically, she wasn't nominated for an Oscar until practically her last film after more than 30 years of working. Thanks!

In This Our Life ... also with Bette Davis ;- )

Yes stella, you're right (first) ... and YES, I after starting the game at 1:25 PM and little participation over the next 5 1/2 hours, I finally did go away. Sorry. Won't be around much today until maybe later this afternoon. Have fun!

stella, I couldn't agree with you more! I think that there are many social problems in our society today because women (the final arbitor!) settle for less. This leads men to behave worse and worse. Women who have settled for a man, any man, knowing full well his character defects and then BREEDING MORE of them have foisted untold numbers of problems on society. I believe that "our" standards collectively have been lowered too far for this (and obviously other) reason(s). I understand being lonely (believe me!), but I think the Heiress's father was RIGHT!

No and No, Clue #10 - a movie with the same name was done with Bill Murray (of SNL) in the past 20 years

Clue #10 - another woman, referenced in clue #1, causes the widow to "fall off the wagon" with her jealous acts

Clue #9 - the widow gets "on the wagon" thanks to the newly enlightened man

Another one I saw recently ... the "bad guy" has got a machine gun and he's always a step behind the "good guy" no matter which way the "good guy" goes or for how long, especially if there's glass. It makes for a good visual, but in practice, I'm thinking the guy with the machine gun can move it horizontally faster (or skip ahead?) than the guy running.

Clue #8 - social climber dies near the end

Not Lost Horizon ... Clue #7 - the widow became a drunk and bar singer

Clue #6 - he went to the mountaintop to gain knowledge

Three's are wild (this is post 3,333!) Clue #5 - a widow who also lost her child

Make that "No one HERE made them", having trouble today.

Clue #4 - financial ruin

classicsfan, the statements were made by someone on a different internet website where movies are discussed and on which I participate. No one hear made them. WRT to my inconsistencies, sorry ;- ) I am really not sure what my thoughts are about the first of the two statements (hence, my "wishy-washyness"). However, I am adament about the second statement being misguided.

No, Clue #3 - an important search

Clue #2 - social climber

Obviously I meant "There AREN'T nearly as many films made/year these days as there were 40 years ago".

I agree slappy, but I think the comment had to do with production primarily. 40 years ago films were made at an astonishing rate, "stars" made half a dozen/year in some cases, many older films look like the fact that they indeed just rolled off the assembly line. Today, most films are made "on location", more technology is available (for good or for bad; -), and because of TV etc. there isn't a huge built in audience which demands a new film every different week. There are nearly as many films made/year these days as there were 40 years ago. So, while I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the statement, I understand what "he" was saying.

Yes, it's hard. I'll try now: Clue #1 - unrequited love
