Doesn't the title of this thread "...could have dated" imply that the actress must be deceased? After all, if one lists still-living actresses, isn't there still a chance?

Also nominated for Best Picture - no positive or negative materials are known to exist." > It is the 1940 version (not lost) not the 1927 version (lost) that is being mentioned as having been shown on AMC.

Unlisted short after BACKFIRE on Monday afternoon: VAN GOGH: DARKNESS INTO LIGHT (1956) (promo short for MGM movie LUST FOR LIFE).

Yes, TCM programmers, please do resume the listing of shorts on the schedule. Or, can you tell us why you've decided to stop doing it?

> {quote:title=PrinceSaliano wrote:}{quote} > Bring 'em, TCM... > You didn't ask this time which we've seen. But just as an idea of what's "out there" and not lost, here's what I have copies of: ALIAS MARY DOW BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN CHINATOWN SQUAD DIAMOND JIM EAST OF JAVA FIGHTING YOUTH THE GOOD FAIRY THE GREAT IMPERSONATION THE IVORY HANDLED GUN MISTER DYNAMITE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD NIGHT LIFE OF THE GODS THE NOTORIOUS GENTLEMAN PRINCESS O'HARA THE RAVEN REMEMBER LAST NIGHT? RENDEZVOUS AT MIDNIGHT STONE OF SILVER CREEK STORM OVER THE ANDES STORMY THREE KIDS AND A QUEEN TRANSIENT LADY WEREWOLF OF LONDON

And are either of the two available on DVD? > I've seen both of them, and though there are some similarities (including both starring Charles Bickford) I don't believe they are connected in any other way such as the second being intended as a sequel or a remake of the first.

Unlisted short Saturday morning, Jan. 22 after the Bowery Boys movie: THE CAR THAT BECAME A STAR (1964) - Promo short for the feature THE YELLOW ROLLS-ROYCE.

> {quote:title=DougieB wrote:}{quote} > I didn't catch it this time around, but I wonder if the same could have been true of Joan Crawford, who probably would have been working on "Flamingo Road" at the time.

Unlisted short Friday morning after NO OTHER WOMAN: HARRY RESER AND HIS ESKIMOS (1936) - Vitaphone. Please TCM, can we get these back to being listed on the schedule?

Perhaps she filmed the scene for IT'S A GREAT FEELING during a day when she was also working on THE FOUNTAINHEAD.

Unlisted short - Wednesday night at 9:50 P.M. Eastern - LOOKING AT LONDON (1946) - MGM "TravelTalks" series.

> {quote:title=Swithin wrote:}{quote} > You left out *King of the Zombies*, one of the most enjoyable Monogram films. > I think he was trying to list some of the lesser-known and lesser-seen Monogram titles. I agree KING OF THE ZOMBIES is a great one, but it's never been hard to find. As I'm sure you know, it's even been shown on TCM several times.

That would be wonderful! Please consider it, TCM!

Still no short listed on the schedule for the 29 minutes following the Bowery Boys movie on January 15. Shorts fans be sure to tune in...could be something interesting shown.

William Bendix's very first film appearance was his unbilled role in the 1939 one-reel Vitaphone comedy short NO PARKING starring Arthur Q. Bryan (not even listed on IMDb). It would be nice for his fans if TCM could fit this short in somewhere during his day Friday.
