Unlisted short after UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, April 12 at 5:24 A.M. - MGM Studio Tour (1925) (silent).

Yes, there is a way of getting a listing of the shorts scheduled. Click on "Weekly Schedule" then at the top will be a row of little boxes with all the categories...comedy, musical, adventure, drama, romance, epic, shorts, etc. Then just click on Shorts. Unfortunately there aren't many listed for this coming week, but that's where to find them listed anyway. http://www.tcm.com/schedule/weekly.html?tz=est&sdate=2011-04-10

Unlisted short on Friday, April 8, 2011 at about 12:05 P.M. - "Martin Block's Musical Merry-Go-Round" - Virginia O'Brien. (MGM, 1948)

Could it possibly be WHO KILLED DOC ROBBIN? (1948) Info here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040966/combined It's got the haunted house and lots of kids. I haven't seen it in quite a while (it wasn't very good) so I don't recall if it involved hidden money and crooks.

> {quote:title=mvksmall wrote:}{quote} > > The original "Host" of old movies for me was Bill Kennedy, broadcasting out of Detroit, Mich. and Windsor, Ontario back in the late 50's and early 60's. He was a very flamboyant and entertaining, if not particularly accurate, font of knowledge.... He was in Hollywood as a bit player (he was one of the early suitors in "Mr. Skeffington", and he actually had a line or two); his biggest gripes were the roles in which his dialog was cut... > Has anyone else seen (or even heard of) his 1946 starring feature THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE?

> {quote:title=RayFaiola wrote:}{quote} > Leonard not like older films? Are you kidding? Leonard took over as editor of Film Fan Monthly in the late 60's, a magazine devoted to classic - often B - films. > Good points, Ray. You didn't mention one thing that makes this even more impressive: that Leonard was not yet even 16 years old! (His first "Film Fan Monthly" being the May 1966 issue). And it wasn't long before his many valuable (and impressive for someone so young) film books came along, including some of the first to cover in detail movie shorts, comedy teams, etc. I happen to like Leonard's writings very much (still have all the original "Film Fan Monthlys" and most of his books) and having had the pleasure to have met him many times, I like him as a person, too. But, if it could be done without too much effort by somebody at TCM, perhaps the idea of omitting his star ratings on the schedule but retaining the reviews would be the best solution. Or, if it would stop all the criticizing of Leonard on these boards then I'd be in favor of dropping his reviews, too. (I have the books anyway, so never need to look for his comments on the TCM schedule).

> {quote:title=finance wrote:}{quote} > I only saw the first half hour or so. I don't think there was any connection between it and the John Forsythe TV show, correct? > Correct. I've always liked this movie not only for the good cast, but especially as it gives a more-than-usually prominent role to one of my favorites, Nena Quartaro.

Can't anyone else think of any more?
