Did all Marx Brothers fans notice that the trailers for ANIMAL CRACKERS and MONKEY BUSINESS include alternate takes from what's seen in the finished films? Plus lots of sort of generic early thirties Paramount music that's also not in the Marx films. See them again here: ANIMAL CRACKERS (1930): http://www.tcm.com/video/videoPlayer/?cid=91436 MONKEY BUSINESS (1931): http://www.tcm.com/video/videoPlayer/?cid=91504 The DUCK SOUP trailer can be seen here, but as far as I can tell, doesn't contain anything not in the feature: DUCK SOUP (1933): http://www.tcm.com/video/videoPlayer/?cid=91441

As much as I do enjoy them, especially Buck Jones, it can be hard to keep track sometimes of which I've seen without cross-checking supporting casts and plot summaries. So these are what I know I have seen and / or have copies of: Affairs of a Gentleman The Black Cat Bombay Mail By Candlelight The Crosby Case Cross Country Cruise Gift of Gab Glamour Great Expectations I Give My Love I'll Tell the World Imitation of Life Little Man What Now Midnight Million Dollar Ransom Myrt and Marge One More River The Poor Rich There's Always Tomorrow Wake Up and Dream

My question: I cannot find it anywhere on DVD or VHS. Does anyone have a source to find an old classic such as this, other than TCM or Amazon? I know I am probably out of luck and it just isn't available, but I wanted to see if maybe someone out there could help me. Thank you so much for your feedback. > SUNNYSIDE UP is not available commercially on VHS or DVD. As of now you just need to settle for a recording from TV. You said you just viewed the movie so I don't know if you got it recorded or watched it on TCM without recording it. But if you need a recording it is scheduled again on TCM on March 16, 2011.

I also filled in the missing names & info for Dec. 1994, March 1995 and March 1996. But to make sure nobody missed it, here it is again: I got tired of seeing the gaps in this Star of the Month listing, so I went and dug out my old TCM schedules so I could fill in the missing names. But -- it looks like some corrections are needed too! Some of these are incorrect. First, to fill in the gaps: December 1994: No star. It says "Best of '94" - "A special tribute to some of the legendary stars who have been featured on TCM in 1994." Including 7 movies starring Barbara Stanwyck, 10 movies starring Greta Garbo, 17 movies starring Edward G. Robinson, and 14 movies starring Bette Davis." (Yes, Bette Davis was Star in July 1994 along with Greer Garson. Bette even got the cover picture. Billed as "Bette Davis: The Early Years" she had 20 films shown to Garson's only 19.) March 1995: "TCM Salutes the Oscars". No one star of the Month. Norma Shearer gets the cover shot, holding her statuette. July 1995: Gene Kelly, not Grace Kelly. Gene's on the cover in a serious dramatic pose. 28 of his movies were shown. March 1996: "TCM Presents 31 Days of Oscar". No one star. Grace Kelly is on the cover holding her Oscar. So, that fills in the gaps. Note: They did not use the term "Star of the Month" until January 1997 with the first issue of the "Now Playing" magazine. From April 1994 through November 1996 the tribute to the star of the month was called "Star Tribute". Corrections: As noted, both Bette Davis and Greer Garson were Stars of the Month in July 1994. And Bette could perhaps be considered first, as she had more films shown, and she got the cover shot. December 1995: Bing Crosby was NOT the Star that month. In fact only ONE Bing movie was shown during the entire month: HIGH SOCIETY on Dec. 12 and that was part of a five-movie birthday salute to Frank Sinatra. THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT 1 & 2 were also shown that month, but of course Bing is not the star of those and we can definitely see that he was not getting the "Star Tribute" that month. Dec. 1995 was another "no star" - It was "The Best of TCM 1995". December 1996: Once again somebody goofed in reporting the Star. Gary Cooper was NOT it. Only two Cooper films were run that month: THE FOUNTAINHEAD on the 19th and MEET JOHN DOE on the 21st and again on the 24th. Surely not enough for anyone to regard him as The Star that month! Instead they again presented "The Best of TCM's 1996 Programming" as stated on the cover below a nice handsome shot of Robert Osborne (in fact the very same shot as on the cover of the Dec. 1995 guide). January 1997: First issue of "Now Playing" as we still know it, and first use of the term "Star of the Month". Again, the listing of Jean Arthur as Star of the Month is totally crazy! Not one Jean Arthur film was shown that month! How did these incorrect names get listed? Humphrey Bogart was the first "Star of the Month" and they presented his movies in a unique way: as a week-long marathon! From Monday morning, Jan. 6 through Sunday night, Jan. 12 it was ALL Bogie! A total of 52 movies were shown, with some repeats during the week. Also, in addition to the "Star Tributes" and "Star of the Month" salutes, TCM paid similar tribute to a Director each month, in the series "Director Salute". Here are the "Directors Salutes" each month: May 1994: George Cukor. June 1994: Mervyn Leroy. July 1994: Frank Capra - 11 films. August 1994: Edward Dmytryk - 12 films. September 1994: Busby Berkeley - 43 films. October 1994: Lloyd Bacon - 55 films. November 1994: Clarence Brown - 36 films. December 1994: "Best of '94" - Cukor - 5 films, Leroy - 10 films, Capra - 9 films, Dmytryk - 7 films, Berkeley - 7 films. January 1995: Victor Sherman - 16 films. February 1995: Frank Borzage - 19 films. March 1995: Oscar month. April 1995: Michael Curtiz - 40 films. May 1995: Curtis Bernhardt - 15 films. June 1995: George Sidney - 17 films. July 1995: William Dieterle - 27 films. August 1995: W.S. Van Dyke - 40 films. September 1995: "Kings of the B's" - Edward Cahn, Phil Karlson, William Beaudine, etc. October 1995: William Wellman - 24 films. November 1995: John Ford - 12 films. December 1995: no director salute. "The Best of TCM 1995". January 1996: "The Continental Touch" - Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, Ernst Lubitsch, Jean Negulesco. February 1996: John Sturges - 19 films. March 1996: Oscar month. April 1996: Stanley Donen - "more than ten" films, it says. May 1996: Robert Wise - 20 films. June 1996: Archie Mayo - 22 films. July 1996: Sam Wood - 22 films. August 1996: King Vidor - 14 films. September 1996: Richard Thorpe - 52 films. October 1996: Raoul Walsh - 27 films. November 1996: Stars as Directors: Lionel Barrymore, Ray Milland, Woody Allen, Ida Lupino, Peter Fonda, Orson Welles, Charles Laughton, Marlon Brando, Jerry Lewis, etc. December 1996: "Best of TCM 1996". January 1997: S. Sylvan Simon - "more than 19 films". it says. That's it so far...
