As you know a lot of rare silents are shown there. I've been to every Capitolfest so far and know you'd have a great time there, and it would be nice to meet you if you could attend.

Peter Sellers. He's okay in early stuff like THE LADYKILLERS but I find him extremely irritating and annoying in just about everything else, especially LOLITA.

Barbra Streisand Woody Allen Carol Burnett Baby Sandy Janet Burstin & Bobby Blake in Our Gang. Sometimes: Mickey Rooney (especially in "Midsummer Night's Dream") Marlon Brando (most of the time) Lucille Ball (post-1940's, and yes, including that famous TV show of hers) Jerry Lewis Ben Blue Ethel Merman (loud characters like she was in"Mad Mad World") Almost anything post-1960.

I wish I knew the title of it. > Hello! That song by the always delightful Marjorie White is also one of my favorite bits in the movie. According to the Fox Movietone Music Cue Sheet for the SUNNYSIDE UP the title of the name of the song is "It's Great to Be Necked", and it was written by Buddy DeSylva, Lew Brown & Ray Henderson, as were the other songs in the movie. Two of the songs in SUNNYSIDE UP became very big hits at the time: "Aren't We All" and "If I Had a Talking Picture of You". In fact if you're into collecting 78 RPM records or movie-related sheet music of the period you can't avoid them! I can't even count how many 78's I have on which those two songs are coupled on the A & B sides by various bands and singers. The song "Turn On the Heat" was also recorded several times, and "You've Got Me Pickin' Petals Off of Daisies" a few times. If you might want to search for a recording of "It's Great to Be Necked" I'm afraid all you can do is to make a recording from the movie's soundtrack, as I have never seen any evidence that it was ever recorded like the other songs from the movie.

Someone told me that they heard that Warner has re-mastered the disc so it now contains the complete (or nearly complete) film. Is this true? > Hello Mr. Mayer! That short version is an error...a defect. The DVD should of course be the full length movie - approximately 126 minutes. You should (hopefully) be able to return and exchange it if you explain why you may have not got to it right away and only recently discovered the problem.

Mongo, It was nice to see Shemp Howard included here on March 17 for his birthday. Since you are the expert birthday researcher you may have noticed that there are discrepancies in the listings of Shemp's date of birth. Most people seem to think it was March 17 while others say March 4. But just recently new evidence has been found to confirm the real date...and guess what? It's not the 4th nor the 17th! Shemp's granddaughter Jill located his long-unseen birth certificate which states that he was born on March 11, 1895.

Unlisted short on Monday, March 21 at 11:50 A.M. - "Martin Block's Musical Merry-Go-Round" - Freddy Martin (1948) - MGM.

Anyway, both deserve there own Stars of the month tributes. I have allot of OR's in here, for alternate selections. Other gals who merit a mention would include Nita Naldi, Marie Prevost, Phyllis Haver, Leatrice Joy, Eleanor Boardman, Betty Bronson, Jetta Goudal, Anna Q Nilsson, Dolores Del Rio, and the list goes on and on. > > > Talmadge Sisters: > > Constance-THE LOVE EXPERT (1920), or EAST IS WEST (1922).

I saw it a couple years ago and again a couple days ago and it looks great. I'd love to see it on TCM. And how about Billie Dove? You mentioned her earlier, but she's not on your list here. She certainly should be included in a "Great Screen Ladies of the Twenties" series.

I'm a huge Wheeler & Woolsey fan, but their 1936 movie MUMMY'S BOYS put me to sleep the first time I watched it.

Although star Humphrey Bogart does not play a detective in it, I thought I'd mention that most of the 1947 Warner Bros. movie DARK PASSAGE is shot that way.

The titles of many B-westerns mean nothing, especially most of the Republic Gene Autrys and Roy Rogers, which are usually just song titles. But one of the silliest was ROUND-UP TIME IN TEXAS (1937) starring Gene Autry. Most of the story in that one takes place in Africa, not in Texas.
