Welcome, glad to be of help.

It's "Take One False Step" (1949).

Every Sunday with Deanna Durbin?

I don't know if they did a market research before entering their different overseas markets (France, Spain, Latin America et al), but TCM Latin schedule's mostly comprised of TV Series such as Emergency, Bewitched, I dream of Jeannie, Night Gallery, Chips, etc. As for the movies, they repeat the same films all over again and again, always. As I've said before, most of them are showed in those colorized versions that were popular in the 1980s. I've come to think that the schedule's limitation may have something to do with the fact that everything is dubbed in Spanish (although you have the chance of choosing a Second Audio Program in English).

I have read on these boards that this film is entangled in some legal litigations that prevent the general audiences of seeing it.

The film you are talking about is "Imitation of Life" (1959) and the parts of the black maid and her white daughter, were played by Juanita Moore and Susan Kohner, who resembles Natalie Wood. Others in the cast are Lana Turner, Sandra Dee and John Gavin.

As far as I know the first widescreen (Cinemascope) film was released in 1953 (I know there were some experiments previously). "The Red Shoes" (1948) wasn't filmed in widescreen.

I'd love to, but sadly TCM Latin has almost no Pre-Codes in its schedules

Anne Baxter

Thanks Scarlett....I'm just a lucky Classic Film Fan!

I have only seen him three times on film: in the great Silent "The Garden of Eden" and in the amusing farces "Bachelor Apartment" & "The Royal Bed", and he's really, really gifted. He was also a very talented director

Clifton Webb?

I think it's "Berkeley Square" (1933) which was remade with Power in 1951 as "I'll Never Forget You".

Sounds like an Ed Wood movie!! Message was edited by: feaito

You know Dan, I have never seen "It's a Date", only "Nancy Goes to Rio"...and now I realize something else, I'm almost 100% sure that Joe Pasternak, who guided Deanna Durbin's career at Universal and produced many of her films, also produced "Nancy goes to Rio" at MGM. When he left Universal for MGM he formed his own unit there producing musicals for Kathryn Grayson, Mario Lanza, Jane Powell, Ann Blyth, among others. So maybe it was his idea to buy the rights to "It's a Date". And concerning "The Animal Kingdom" and "Of Human Bondage", I read that piece of info in Daniel Bubbeos' book "The Women of Warner Brothers", where he stated that Warners got the rights to both stories from RKO in exchange for the services of Joan Leslie in "The Sky's the Limit" and John Garfield in "The Fallen Sparrow". I also remember that Warners bought the rights to film the remake of Paramount's "One Sunday Afternoon" with Gary Cooper and Fay Wray, which I've read is excellent, as "The Strawberry Blonde" with Olivia de Havilland, Jimmy Cagney and Rita Hayworth, which was remade again by Warners in 1948, under its original title, with Dennis Morgan and Janis Paige.

Just a guess: Joel McCrea?

A random guess...Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

Dan, sorry to intrude here , but "It's a Date" is a Universal Picture. I do know that MGM remade the film in 1949 as "Nancy Goes to Rio" with Jane Powell and Ann Sothern, so maybe then MGM acquired the rights to both the story and the 1940 Universal Feature. I think that something similar happened when Warners bought from RKO the rights to film "The Animal Kingdom" and "Of Human Bondage".

Yes Shaina! Way to Go!! Your turn now...

I don't know...I'd like to...I also miss home

A rhedosaurus?

I've seen some of the nude/porn pics attributed to Joan Crawford in some books and I must say that I doubt seriously that they are really photographs of her. If you ask me, I think those pics are not of her. As for Montgomery Clift, one of the greatest actors ever, I've read that, sadly, he was, psychologically speaking, a very tortured man, and even more so after the terrible accident he suffered in 1957? I have also read that he was gay but that he did not accept his sexual orientation, because he was so fond of women and loved them, and, thus, could not understand why he was sexually attracted toward men. I think that now he must be in peace and happy in another much better stage of evolution in the afterlife. As a footnote, I have read about many actors' lives, but what I've read about Monty Clift's life has been specially sad, because it seems he was a wonderful human being and he just suffered too much.

Maybe "The Mortal Storm"?

Red Skleton?

Good guess and good movie...but no Clue # 4: A young lady pretending to be a woman of the world
