No, it's not you. It's me! (Not trying to make this sound like a relationship breakup thingie). I am just slowly beginning to re-examine this thread after being its most active guesser in the early days. Post whenever you like. I will respond or fail to respond depending on whether I actually check this website or not.

I had written a long paragraph speculating what films might constitute a George Segal day but leaving it for a few seconds to read the above post, I've returned to see my text has vanished. Very deflating. Anyway, there are many interesting choices, and I will be interested to see what they do.

I hadn't considered documentaries, but I think he's in that Newport Jazz Festival one, maybe.

I was too slow to guess on these. Probably the only one I could have identified without being told the answers is Valley Girl, which I'm actually not entirely sure I've seen all the way through. I think I rented it from Blockbuster around 1991 or so, but I don't think I finished it. I just listed The 13th Letter as a movie I'd like to see included for a potential Linda Darnell SUTS day after reading a plot description on imdb, but I haven't seen it. The only one of these movies I'm absolutely sure I've seen from beginning to end is Jacob's Ladder, a really depressing head trip of a movie. Even after the big twist was revealed, the movie didn't jolt me out of the funk it had put me in. So, I guess I've just seen one. MAYBE I saw Ladder 49 in the theaters. It stirs up some deja vu feelings when I read the plot description on imdb, but I'm truly uncertain, so I won't list it. The transformation of Anthony Hopkins in that last picture is truly uncanny.

Hepburn has been featured nine times, tied with Cary Grant for the most ever. Basically every other year.

Hibi, who is "Livvy"? Liv Ullman? I've already forgotten who was featured last year.

Louis Armstrong day is likely to feature High Society, A Man Called Adam, Paris Blues, Cabin in the Sky and The Strip. Less likely to air (but they'll need something to fill out the rest of the day!) are Hello, Dolly! (Fox), The Glenn Miller Story (Universal), Here Comes the Groom and The Five Pennies (both Paramount, I think), though all these movies have aired on TCM before, I'm pretty sure. Don't know where else I would have seen them. In many of his movies, he's largely limited to onstage musical appearances. May not be too disimilar from Lena Horne day.

Very happy to see this list finally posted, though I note with some irony TCM's shameless pandering to Twitter and utter disregard for these message boards. I will be even more excited when programming lists are actually posted, and I can see what films are showing. I will particularly pounce on "out of library" films and highlight them in this thread. If you're going to devote a full day to Tyrone Power, you are presumably going to have to air I would think at least five or six Fox films, although TCM may work with intensive, passionate intensity to reduce that number. I would think Marie Atointette, The Rising of the Moon, The Eddy Duchin Story and Witness for the Prosecution are all 100 per cent absolutely guaranteed to air because every one of them means one fewer Fox film TCM has to commit to paying for.

Been quite a while since I've seen it. Thanks.

Joanne Woodward Count Three and Pray (Columbia, 1955) - A pastor with a shady past (Van Heflin) moves into a rural town just after the Civil War. Woodward plays a young orphan who fancies herself a budding Calamity Jane who moves into the parsonage and won't leave. TCM airings; 6 No Down Payment (20th Century Fox, 1957) - In California, four couples who have bought homes and are neighbors (Tony Randall & Sheree North, Cameron Mitchell & Woodward, Jeffrey Hunter & Patricia Owens and Pat Hingle & Barbara Rush) face money problems, alcoholism, racism , promiscuity and discrimination against lack of education until a tragic event forces them to reassess their lives. TCM airings: 1 (in June 2018) The Fugitive Kind (United Artists, 1960) - A trouble-prone drifter trying to go straight (Marlon Brando) wanders into a small Mississippi town looking for a simple and uncomplicated life but finds himself embroiled with problem-filled women (Anna Magnani, Woodward, Maureen Stapleton). TCM airings: 14 Paris Blues (United Artists, 1961) - Two American expatriate jazz musicians living in Paris (Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier) meet and fall in love with two American tourist girls (Woodward, Diahann Carroll). TCM airings: 27 Signpost to Murder (MGM, 1965) - An escapee from an insane asylum (Stuart Whitman) takes refuge in the house of a woman (Woodward), but she has dark secrets of her own. TCM airings: 10 A Big Hand for the Little Lady (Warner Bros., 1966) - In the Old West, a traveler (Henry Fonda) bets more than he can afford in a poker game, and unusual events follow. Woodward plays Fonda's wife. There's a surprise involving her character near the end of the film. TCM airings: 16 Winning (Universal, 1969) - A rising star on the race circuit (Paul Newman) dreams of winning the big one - the Indianapolis 500 - but as he ruthlessly moves to get there, he runs the risk of losing his wife (Woodward) to his rival (Robert Wagner) and strains his relationship with his son (Richard Thomas). TCM airings: 6 Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams (Columbia, 1973) - A middle-aged New York City homemaker (Woodward) finds herself in a mid-life crisis, which forces her to reexamine her relationships with her mother (Sylvia Sidney), her eye doctor husband (Martin Balsam), her alienated daughter (Dori Brenner) and estranged son (Ron Richards). TCM airings: 10 The End (United Artists, 1978) - A man (Burt Reynolds) who discovers he doesn't have long to live bungles his attempts at suicide. Woodward plays Reynolds' inattentive ex-wife. TCM airings: 2 Mr. & Mrs. Bridge (Miramax, 1990) - During World War II, an upper-middle class family begins to fall apart when the conservative nature of the patriarch (Paul Newman) clashes with the progressive values of his children (Margaret Welsh, Kyra Sedgewick, Blythe Danner). Woodward in I believe her last on-screen collaboration with husband Newman plays the wife and mother caught in the middle. TCM airings: 0 Even if a Hundred Ogres ... (???, 1996) - There's no information about this movie on either imdb or Wikipedia, other than it's animated, and Woodward provides the narration. I wonder if it's an English-language overdub of a foreign-language film. Gayby (Wolfe Releasing, 2012) - A straight woman (Jenn Harris) and a gay man (Matthew Wilkas), best friends since college now past 30 and both single by choice decide to fulfill an old promise and have a child together the old-fashioned way. Woodward appears off-camera and uncredited, I assume by telephone, as the voice of the woman's mother.

Yes, I saw it on YouTube maybe the same week I saw Slattery's Hurricane. That may be the only outlet for it ... if it's still there. One imdb poster titled his/her review "Meet Me in Philadelphia-Louis", and it definitely has a similar vibe.

No mention of that, and I only caught the first 15 minutes, where her appearance is limited to comforting Ladd in the hospital. I did see it once before, though I guess I didn't find her acting egregious enough to stick in my long-term memory!

Linda Darnell Brigham Young (20th Century Fox, 1940) - In 1844, after Mormon leader Joseph Smith (Vincent Price) is murdered by an angry mob in Illinois, the Mormons choose a new leader, Brigham Young (Dean Jagger), who leads them to a new promised land in Utah. Tyrone Power is top billed, although he doesn't play Young. He plays a young Mormon farmer, and the movie focuses on him during the Mormons' travels, and Darnell plays his sweetheart, who I think isn't a Mormon, at least to start with . TCM airings: 1 (in August 2011) Blood and Sand (20th Century Fox, 1941) - An illiterate peasant (Tyrone Power) experiences a meteoric rise to fortune and fame in the bullfighting ring only to sow the seeds of his own fall. I think Rita Hayworth has gotten more attention in the intervening years as the sultry "other woman", but Darnell plays the noblewoman Power marries. TCM airings: 20 City Without Men (Columbia, 1943) - A man (Edgar Buchannan) is sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. In order to be near him and to help him try to clear his name, his young wife (Darnell) moves into a boardinghouse near the prison where all the residents are wives of inmates. TCM Airings: 0 Buffalo Bill (20th Century Fox, 1944) - Biopic of the legendary Westerner (Joel McCrea), from his start as an Army scout to his later days as the owner of a Wild West show. It's Maureen O'Hara who plays the woman who becomes Mrs. Buffalo Bill, but looks like Darnell also makes moves on him in a "culturally inappropriate" casting as a Native American maiden. TCM airings: 1 (in July 2014) The Great John L. (United Artists, 1945) - A look at the women in the life of the prizefighter John L. Sullivan (Greg McClure). Darnell's entertainer is a complete work of fiction, according to more than one imdb poster. TCM airings: 0 Centennial Summer (20th Century Fox, 1946) - In 1876 Philadelphia, two sisters (Jeanne Crain, Darnell) compete for the affections of a Frenchman (Cornel Wilde) who's come to town to prepare the French Pavilion for the Centennial Exposition. TCM airings: 0. The Walls of Jericho (20th Century Fox, 1948) - The district attorney of Jericho, Kansas (Cornel Wilde), helps a woman (Anne Baxter) with her shiftless father (Henry Hull). A few years later, the new wife (Darnell) of his best friend (Kirk Douglas) begins making a play for him, much to the displeasure of his hard-drinking wife (Anne Dvorak). Returning to private practice and eyeing a career in the senate, he takes on the case of a woman who killed in self-defense (Colleen Townsend) and the Baxter character returns to work with him. TCM airings: 0 Slattery's Hurricane (20th Century Fox, 1949) - I just watched this one on YouTube about six weeks ago at 4 am during a night of insomnia. Looks like it may have been yanked since then. Sorry. A former World War II naval pilot now working for a Miami civilian company (Richard Widmark) reminisces about his past and present sins as he flies into a hurricane. One of the present sins revolves around Darnell, a former lover from the war years, with whom Widmark becomes obsessed, even though she's now married to his friend (John Russell) and he himself is married (to Veronica Lake). TCM airings: 0 The 13th Letter (20th Century Fox, 1951) - Respectable citizens receive anonymous letters revealing their adulterous relationships. Michael Rennie is a London doctor who's transplanted to Canada. Darnell is a charming seductress who feigns ailments to lure him up to her rooms but is highly sensitive when he discovers the club foot she's taken pains to conceal. She's one of many characters who fall under suspicion as the letters continue to come. TCM airings: 0. Island of Desire (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1952) - In 1943, an Allied hospital ship is sunk by the Japanese in the South Pacific, and a nurse (Darnell) and a Marine (Tab Hunter) become stranded on an island that's been abandoned by the natives. TCM airings: 0 Second Chance (RKO, 1953) - The girlfriend (Darnell) of a mobster (Jack Palance) is in hiding in Mexico. She's willing to testify before a US Senate investigation committee, if she can make it back alive. A local prizefighter (Robert Mitchum) helps her out. TCM airings: 15. It Happens in Roma (Dist. in the US by Compass Film, 1955) - A woman and a man (Darnell and ... Vittorio di Sica???) compete for the same apartment, then agree to enter into a marriage of convenience so they can share it. She makes it clear from the beginning that she be allowed to continue to seek out true love, but he ridicules all her suitors. Things get more challenging, however, when a more serious rival her own age (Rossano Brazzi) begins making a play for her. TCM airings: 0

I noticed in his intro to 13 West Street, Ben says Alan Ladd runs out of gas "on a street. West Street", and then 15 minutes into the movie we learn West Street is actually the street he lives on when one of the teenage assailants reads his driver's license.

Tyrone Power Tom Brown of Culver (Universal, 1932) - A boy (the actor and the character are oddly both named Tom Brown) who thinks his father (H.B. Warner) was a war hero finds out he was a deserter. At 18, Power makes his film debut as Brown's fellow military academy student. TCM airings: 0 Flirtation Walk (Warner Bros., 1934) - A US Army private stationed in Hawaii (Dick Powell) gets involved with an engaged woman (Ruby Keeler) who's also the daughter of the general (Henry O'Neill). In order to avoid scandal, the pair decide to break up, but meet again years later at West Point in which he produces the annual play in which she happens to be the star. A 20-year-old Power has an uncredited role as a cadet. TCM airings: 35 Northern Frontier (Conn, 1935) - A mountie (Kermit Maynard) sets out to infiltrate and break up a gang of counterfieters. Power also plays a mountie. TCM Airings: 0 In Old Chicago (20th Century Fox, 1938) - The O'Leary Brothers - honest Jack (Don Ameche) and roguish Dion (Power) - become powers and eventually rivals in Chicago on the eve of the great fire. TCM airings: 2 Marie Antoinette (MGM, 1938) - The tragic life of the Austrian noblewoman (Norma Shearer) who became queen of France at the age of 15. On loan from Fox, Power plays a Swedish count who first makes Marie aware of her own fecklessness and becomes her lover after she's married. TCM airings: 70 Suez (20th Century Fox, 1938) - Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French aristocrat who's experienced disappointment in love (Power), is assigned to be a junior diplomat at the Isthmus of Suez and realizes it's just the place for a canal. TCM Airings: 2 Jesse James (20th Century Fox, 1939) - After railroad agents forcibly evict the James family from their farm, brothers Jesse (Power) and Frank (Henry Fonda) turn to banditry for revenge. TCM Airings: 3 A Yank in the R.A.F. (20th Century Fox, 1941) - An American pilot (Power) impulsively joins His Majesty's Royal Air Force in Britain in order to impress his ex-girlfriend (Betty Grable). TCM airings: 4 This Above All (20th Century Fox, 1942) - A beautiful woman from an aristocratic family (Joan Fontaine) defies convention by joining the Woman's Air Force and becoming romantically involved with an AWOL soldier (Power). TCM airings: 2 Son of Fury: the Story of Benjamin Blake (20th Century Fox, 1942) - Cheated out of his estate by his sadistic uncle (George Sanders), young aristocrat Benjamin Blake (Power) goes to the South Seas so he can make his fortune and claim his birthright. TCM airings: 1 Rawhide (20th Century Fox, 1951) - A stagecoach stop employee (Power) and a stranded female traveler (Susan Hayward) find themselves at the mercy of four desperate outlaws (Hugh Marlowe, Dean Jagger, Edgar Buchannan, Jack Elam) intent on robbing the next day's gold shipment. TCM airings: 4 I'll Never Forget You (20th Century Fox, 1951) - A scientist obsessed with the past (Power) invents a time machine and transports himself back in time to 1700s London where he romances a beautiful young woman (Ann Blyth). A poster on imdb says that this movie, like Berkeley Square, which is also adapted from the same novel, are tied up in rights hell with the estate of the novel's author, and as a result never air on Fox Movie Channel, let alone TCM. TCM airings: 0 Diplomatic Courier (20th Century Fox, 1952) - A US State Department courier (Power) tangles with Soviet agents and seductive women in post-World War II Europe. TCM Airings: 0

Lineups I would choose for the suggested stars. Jane Wyatt Edit: editing to include the number of times each film has actually aired on TCM. Girl from God's Country (Republic, 1940) - At first, the latest nurse (Wyatt) to a young doctor in Alaska (Chester Morris) appears destined to follow the path of her predecessors and quickly abandon the frigid winters, desolate landscape and surly disposition of her employer, but after she witnesses the level of his devotion to his profession, she decides to stay. TCM Airings: 0 The Kansan (United Artists, 1943) - A cowboy wounded while stopping the James Gang from robbing a bank (Richard Dix) wakes up in the hospital to find he's been elected town marshal. He soon comes into conflict with the town banker (Albert Dekker), who controls everything in the town and is squeezing the townspeople for every cent he can get out of them. From the poster, it looks like Wyatt plays a showgirl who becomes Dix's love interest. TCM Airings: 4 Buckskin Frontier (United Artists, 1943) - A railroad man (Richard Dix) and the owner of a freight line (Albert Dekker) battle for control of a crucial mountain pass. It's Dix vs. Dekker again, and Wyatt I assume is once again Dix's love interest and also Lee J. Cobb's daughter although she was in real life one year older than Cobb. TCM Airings: 0 None But the Lonely Heart (RKO, 1944) - When an itinerant son (Cary Grant) returns home to help his sickly mother (Ethel Barrymore) run her shop, they both are tempted to turn to crime to help make ends meet. Wyatt is a cello-playing girl from across the street who loves Grant and patiently waits for him to become a better man. TCM Airings: 48 Strange Conquest (Universal, 1946) - Two doctors (Lowell Gilmore, Peter Cookson) try to find the cure for a fatal disease, while battling each other for the affection of a beautiful woman doctor (Wyatt). TCM Airings: 0 Pitfall (United Artists, 1948) - A married insurance adjuster (Dick Powell) falls for a femme fatale (Lizabeth Scott) while her boyfriend (Raymond Burr) is in jail, and all suffer serious consequences as a result. Looks like Wyatt plays Powell's wronged wife. TCM Airings: 13 My Blue Heaven (20th Century Fox, 1950) - A married song and dance team (Betty Grable and Dan Dailey) can't have children. They try to adopt, then to keep the children they adopt as they continue to work on their television show. There's an already married secondary couple who looks on and provides support played by Wyatt and David Wayne. TCM Airings: 4 Our Very Own (RKO, 1950) - A woman (Ann Blyth) discovers she's adopted after a heated argument with her sister (Joan Evans), and with the reluctant support of her adoptive parents (Donald Cook, Wyatt) and her baby sister (Natalie Wood), she goes in search of her biological mother and true identity. TCM Airings: 11 The Man Who Cheated Himself (20th Century Fox, 1950) - A veteran homicide detective (Lee J. Cobb) who witnesses his socialite mistress (Wyatt) kill her husband (Harlan Wade) sees his inexperienced brother (John Dall) assigned to the case. TCM Airings: 5 Criminal Lawyer (Columbia, 1951) - Two alcoholic lawyers (Pat O'Brien, Carl Reid) sober up to defend a friend (Robert Shayne) in a murder case. Wyatt plays a member of O'Brien's staff and I think a potential love interest. TCM Airings: 1 Treasure of Matecumbe (Disney, 1976) - In 1869 Kentucky, a young boy (Johnny Doran) and his friends set out to find a treasure chest hidden by his late father in the Florida Everglades during the Civil War. Wyatt plays one of the boy's two aunts, along with Virginia Vincent. TCM Airings: 1 Star Trek IV: the Voyage Home (Paramount, 1986) - To prevent Earth from falling prey to alien probe, Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew must travel back in time to San Francisco in 1986 to collect the only beings that can communicate with it: humpback whales. In her final film role, Wyatt plays the mother of Spock (Leonard Nimoy), a role taken on by Winona Ryder in more recent films. TCM Airings: 0

Superman: the Movie was probably the first place I ever saw Beatty. I didn't understand why Lex Luthor would surround himself with stupid people, and I think I initially as an elemantary schooler didn't care much for Beatty's broad comedy. But when he returned only for a cameo in Superman II (he's unable to keep up with Luthor in his prison break), I found myself missing him as the movie went on.

Yeah, Grahame was also my first thought when Ray was mentioned.

For what it's worth, that's like the fourth word I chose. I kept typing in words and then backspacing them out. I think "controversial" was one of my other choices and "tittilating" maybe. I figured any choice would produce some kind of reaction. Maybe I should have just left out an adjective altogether.

I found this link online. https://ew.com/article/2006/02/03/secrets-rebel-without-cause/ More problematic than Mills and her husband for sure, but it would do zero to minimize the "ewww, gross!" response I mentioned above.

Okay.

The age difference would cause the vast majority of people to react with an "ewwww, gross!" response I think. Not me necessarily and apparently not you, but I think virtually all of the rest of humanity.

I must confess this scandalous bit of information, which I've heard referenced before, intrigues me.

Films? Plural?

I had a feeling of joy when I caught him playing a small role in a movie I watched on DVD with my parents some years ago called Sweet Land and thought "Boy, we don't see much of him anymore." I had no idea that movie was 15 years old. On the DVD commentary track, the lead actors chuckled at a scene where Beatty apparently arranged a comedy bit for his character. I also recognized his voice instantly in Toy Story 3 and was delighted to see him in Charlie Wilson's War. The name he established for himself in his more well known roles goes without saying.
