Happy New Year to you too, Mark...and everyone. Welcome back!
-
She's not my favorite, but I'm just glad to see this movie really being shown, finally. It is one of those Columbias that was once scheduled then pulled and not shown.
So, thank you TCM for trying again and getting it this time!

Tuesday morning, 4:08 A.M. -
They just ran it again!

A quick look on eBay shows several sellers offering the videos, and some quite inexpensively:
JUNGLE WOMAN:
JUNGLE CAPTIVE:

The Three Stooges made a pun on those words, too, in their 1940 Columbia short NO CENSUS, NO FEELING.

I've seen and / or have copies of 16 of them (or, 17 if you count both the English and Spanish language versions of DRACULA):
The Cohens and Kellys In Africa
Resurrection
Dracula (English & Spanish)
Bad Sister
Virtuous Husband
Iron Man
Seed
Up For Murder
Waterloo Bridge
East of Borneo
Spirit of Notre Dame
Strictly Dishonorable
Frankenstein
Graft
A House Divided
Heaven on Earth
And I agree - IRON MAN has not been shown on TCM.

Yes, they were, both in 1998.
JUNGLE WOMAN - Universal VHS 83281.
JUNGLE CAPTIVE - Universal VHS 83282.
Both have very attractive boxes with one lobby card reproduction on the back of each, and nice colorful front covers.
Unfortunately, no extras such as trailers.

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:

MONKEY BUSINESS (1931):

The DUCK SOUP trailer can be seen here, but as far as I can tell, doesn't contain anything not in the feature:

I will adjust my previously posted count of 23 to 20 to omit the westerns that I had originally counted. 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

> Universal released 32 features in 1932. How many have you seen? How many have never even played on television?
>
Seen and / or have copies of 18 of them:
Law and Order
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Impatient Maiden
Cohens and Kellys in Hollywood
Scandal for Sale
Destry Rides Again
Night World
Radio Patrol
Fast Companions
Tom Brown of Culver
My Pal, The King
Back Street
Okay America
Once In a Lifetime
The Old Dark House
Air Mail
Afraid to Talk
The Mummy
I'm leaving off some of the Tom Mix westerns that maybe I actually have seen, just because as much as I do enjoy them, sometimes if it's been a long time, it's hard to recall exactly which I've seen without going back and looking up supporting casts and plot summaries.

> I just viewed a wonderful little movie and loved it so much: "Sunnyside Up," 1929, with Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. 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.

Pick out two...

There's probably never been such a comprehensive Wheeler & Woolsey marathon broadcast ever before!

> Well, I recorded all of the Will Rogers features, except for the last three. But seriously, these were some pretty weak and dull films. Nothing much was happening in them! Enough to have put a Grizzly Bear into hibernation for the Summer! I appreciated the fact that they were TCM premiers, if little else.

Hey, the last two were the ones I was most looking forward to! They're the only two I hadn't seen before. I really enjoyed TOO BUSY TO WORK. A bit more dramatic than most of Rogers' movies. And a chance to see a very early role for Dick Powell. And how many Marian Nixon early talkies are we likely to never see? Here she is, looking beautiful.
DOWN TO EARTH was the only one that was of not-so-great quality...noisy soundtrack. But - NO complaints. If that's all there is, I'm still grateful to have seen it!
OUR GANG on TCM
in General Discussions
Posted
There are bound to be many comments regarding TCM's Our Gang ("Little Rascals") marathon, so here's hoping that we can focus them all into one thread.
To start this, I have a concern about the schedule for the shorts as posted on TCM's website. Has anyone else noticed that the short LITTLE SINNER (1936) is scheduled in a 12-minute time slot? They even have a non-Our Gang filler short already listed to follow it and fill up the 30-minute time slot. LITTLE SINNER is supposed to be a full 18 minutes uncut. But the King World Productions TV prints of that short shown on TV in the 1970's were edited to about 12 minutes. So, does this mean that TCM is running the old edited King World prints of the sound shorts? I guess we'll have to wait and see, but considering that complete restored prints (with original Roach titles) have been available now for several years it would really be a shame if we're subjected to those old edited versions.
