Primetime February 25 Kiss Connection Night Four Theodora Goes Wild (Irene Dunne, Melvyn Douglas) (Columbia, 1936) Camille (Greta Garbo, Robert Taylor) (MGM, 1937) Ninotchka (Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas) (MGM, 1939) Boom Town (Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy) (MGM, 1940) The Palm Beach Story (Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea) (Paramount, 1942) Mogambo (Clark Gable, Ava Gardner) (MGM, 1953) Knights of the Round Table (Robert Taylor, Ava Gardner) (MGM, 1953)

Okay, I've seen Female, so that makes two.

That was the first one to come to mind for me too.

I recognize a number of the actors, but I'm not really placing almost any of the movies. 2097 is One Potato, Two Potato, which I saw on TCM several years ago. 2098 sure looks like Walter Matthau in Kotch, which I haven't seen. I didn't know he wielded a gun in that movie. 2100 is My Dinner with Andre. No. Looks like maybe I've just seen one.

I read it yesterday. As I recall, the article suggests Hughes was almost the subject of Kane, One person has alleged Hughes paid Welles $50,000 to make it about William Randolph Hearst instead.

Don't know if I can pinpoint a favorite, but I'll list a few early appearances I've seen over the years on TCM that are worth watching: Anthony Adverse (1936) Pride and Prejudice (1940) Foreign Correspondent (1940) Cheers for Miss Bishop (1941) The Devil and Miss Jones (1941)

I am only aware of this program because I recently read a biography of Robin Williams, and his appearance on the show was mentioned in it. I had Showtime as part of my cable subscription for a few years but only long after this program had ended its run.

Daytime February 25 Dream Cinema I Walked with a Zombie (James Ellsion Frances Dee) (RKO, 1943) Yolanda and the Thief (Fred Astaire, Lucille Bremer) (MGM, 1945) The Red Shoes (Anton Walbrook, Maurius Gorig) (Eagle-Lion, 1948) Brigadoon (Gene Kelly, Cyd Charise) (MGM, 1954) Carnival of Souls (Candace Hilligoss, Sidney Berger) (Herts-Lion International Corp., 1962) Juliet of the Spirits (Guilieta Masina, Sandra Milo) (Dist. in the US by Rizzoli, 1965) The Exterminating Angel (Silvia Pinal, Claudio Brook) (Dist. in the US by Altura Films International, 1967) I'm pretty sure Brigadoon is also part of the Kiss Connection monthly theme and is at least the second non-Noir Alley film to get two airings this month. If I ever finish this month, I'm going to back and see if I can figure which and how many films are getting multiple airings.

Yes, it's a film TCM has shown a number of times before, and it was an absolute breakout performance for Denzel Washington, in my opinion. I'd already seen him in Cry Freedom, but he was so different in this movie, I didn't recognize him. I was like, "Who IS this guy?"

Oops, guess that isn't Bette Davis, is it? I guess I've only seen two of these all the way through.

Primetime February 24 Noteworthy African-American Performances Night Four Broken Strings (Clarence Muse, Sybil Lewis) (International Road Shows, 1942) Take a Giant Step (Johnny Nash, Estelle Hemsley) (United Artists, 1959) Sounder (Paul Winfield, Cicely Tyson) (20th Century Fox, 1972) Sparkle (Philip-Michael Thomas, Irene Cara) (Warner Bros., 1976) A Soldier's Story (Adolph Caesar, Art Evans) (Columbia, 1984)

Ha ha ha ha "one of the few that wasn't annoying".

Well, I gotta say after watching Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Chadwick Boseman could have been a major and lasting star.

That looks like a good movie! I love slow-burn detective thrillers. And yeah, Denzel is still the lead, but he and Alec Baldwin are both past 60, right? So, yes, they are still technically "stars of today", but I think young people probably think more of Rami Malek and Jared Leto as "stars of today".

Based on the schedule found by MovieCollectorOH, TCM is presently scheduled through at least the end of February. Now there was probably a mess involving that, because there are more than the usual number of big-budget color films from the past 40 years than you might expect to find in a typical TCM month. It certainly looks to me as if these films were obtained for the purpose of airing during 31 Days of Oscar before TCM knew the Oscars were going to be pushed back.

He was also a villain in American Gangster.

Probably a bit of a stretch to say Jean Harlow "co-starred" in Scarface. I think she just has a walk-on.

Daytime February 24 Marjorie Main Birthday Tribute. She only gets the afternoon because of the extra-long final "night" of John Garfield movies The Affairs of Martha (Marsha Hunt, Richard Carlson) (MGM, 1942) Gentle Annie (James Craig, Donna Reed) (MGM, 1944) Rationing (Wallace Berry, Marjorie Main) (MGM, 1944) Mrs. O'Malley and Mr. Malone (Marjorie Main, James Whitmore) (MGM, 1950)

2081 is Of Human Bondage. Yes. 2085 is Sabrina. Just watched it on Christmas night! But I've seen it many times before that. 2087 It's the one where George Hamilton plays Hank Williams and is probably named for one of Williams' songs. Your Cheating Heart? I haven't seen it. 2089 is Dead Poets Society. Yes. 2090. It's the remake of Sabrina. I watched the first hour once, but I haven't seen the whole thing. Unsure about the others. I've seen at least three.

Oh. There he is.

I do remember her from The Sniper, although I didn't know her by name.

I made a few good guesses, but it doesn't change that I've only actually seen one of these.

I mean, when Bill Murray starts trying to kill himself in multiple ways, it gets pretty dark!

He just has a long history of posting GIFs (or whatever they are now) of people in movies getting slapped. Just thought he'd be all over this.
