Whether a local station that purchased the package chose to run or withhold that or any other potentially controversial title would of course be up to them.

I think this little girl was put up for adoption and her mother finds her and towards the end of the movie then shows up at the little girls birthday party and I think the girl snubs her, not knowing who she is. Then there was a painter at her party and she asks him to paint her mother. He paints her and the little girl runs to her crying realizing who she is. That's all I can remember. Hope someone knows what it is. I seen it a long time ago and still want to find it. Thank you in advance. > NEVER SAY GOODBYE is a remake of a 1945 Universal Picture called THIS LOVE OF OURS (if you'd be curious to see a different version of the story).

Fans of both "Pittsy" and Patsy can see both together in the 1941 Hal Roach feature BROADWAY LIMITED. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033435/combined I wonder if they were friends and if during the making of this movie they ever talked about working with Thelma Todd.

Definitely: John Gilbert Thelma Todd

It was an old Chinese man talking briefly to Spade at the scene of the murder, and then later the Chinese man is named as a witness at the Wonderly trial, as shown in a newspaper story. So, Archers murder had an eyewitness. > (Spoiler warning) - Another big difference was that it is revealed that Guttman is killed at the end.

DEEP END (1970) It's been shown on "TCM Underground" twice in the last 6 months or so. Info here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066122/combined

Thanks a lot, Mr. Expensive Cable Company! My cable went black just before 6:30 (eastern) and is still out. Don't they appreciate how important Thelma Todd is?!

The best picture collection will never be complete because the first and fifth best picture winners aren't out on Region 1 (US and Canada) DVD. So if the fifth, Cavalcade, has been digitally remastered to it's original glory and will be available for purchase around Christmas, I'd sure like to know about it, so I can cue up to buy it. > > Dave > I don't know if your owning a copy requires it be an official studio release, but if not, CAVALCADE is shown on The Fox Movie Channel occasionally. You can catch it there...

Kyle: I loved ALL of those silent movie posters. I came here every day to admire them. THANK YOU for finding & sharing them. Feel free to post more whenever you can, even if they may not necessarily coincide with what's on TCM on any given day.

Great poster of MY DARLING CLEMENTINE. But too bad some censor evidently objected to Linda's outfit and painted that white-out at the top of it! Not very subtle, was he?

These young ladies may hold the record: Marie Osborne, starting in 1914: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0651704/maindetails Baby Peggy, starting in 1921: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0045133/

Jean Darling is still with us, and even though she started in 1927, not quite as early as some others mentioned here, she's a good friend so I wanted to give her a mention. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0201371/

Even without English subtitles we found it enjoyable and relatively easy to follow. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024736/combined But being a MAJOR Jessie Matthews fan, her version will always be my favorite. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026361/combined
