The title of that Nancy Carroll movie is actually "Scarlet Dawn", not "Red Dawn".
The only other Nancy Carroll movie that TCM shows with any regularity is the 1938 Hal Roach feature "There Goes My Heart".
They've also shown "Broken Lullaby" (1932) and "Child of Manhattan" (1933).
I agree, it would be great if we could see more Nancy Carroll on TCM!
Here's her filmography:

> I just watched Knockout the other day on TCM, and there's a scene with the Anthony Quinn and Arthur Kennedy characters at a nightclub discussing the upcoming "Fisk" fight, with dance music playing in the background. Does anyone know the title of this tune? It's a popular number, probably from the period. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's Public Domain so you have to shop around to find a good copy. But I've seen a lot worse than the print that TCM just showed.
But it's a great movie, a personal favorite, and worth the hunt to find a good copy.

> Is this the wrong place to note that I Shot Jesse James is on _AGAIN_ ?
>
My complaint about "I Shot Jesse James" is that TCM runs it and "The Baron of Arizona" and "The Steel Helmet" so much but no other Lippert Pictures. There are numerous Lippert movies I've never seen and a lot I haven't seen in decades. There are even two others about Jesse James...but no, they've never shown those. And why do the aforementioned three get shown so much? Oh yes, because they have a "famous director". Come on, TCM, never mind the famous directors...if you were able to acquire the rights to show those three Lippert Pictures can't you get more where they came from, and give these three a rest?
Granted, many Lippert Pictures are pretty minor, even lame, but it's a large unseen group that many people may never have even heard of.

> Did Robert Osborne do any commentary for My Favorite Brunette ? I didn't record it because it's available on DVD and supposedly he only does commentary for the first four movies of the night, but I noticed he did commentary for the fifth movie, Road to Bali, which I only caught the beginning of after Road to Utopia. So I am wondering if he did commentary for Brunette as well.

> I wish they would include in the schedule which movies he is going to do commentary for since the number seems to vary, and it's not always clear which holidays he does them for, either.

No, there were no Robert Osborne comments before or after MY FAVORITE BRUNETTE. There usually isn't for movies shown that late night/early morning.

Hey I guess I was right! Looking further at these pictures, there's the one with the clock. Now we need to figure out who the other girl is.

Lovejoy was really struggling, even though some of that was a bit hokey, I never for a moment thought his internal struggle wasn't genuine. He made me believe it. So that scene, yes, it was very touching.

And I totally agree with you on that, too!

Jan 29 4:15am "My Favorite Brunette" (1947) being aired the digital guide shows 4:15am "The Road to Hong Kong" (1962) with Crosby/Hope/Lamour/Joan Collins. TCM still shows MFB being broadcast not TRTHK. Oh well, maybe the digital guide is wrong. I'll go ahead and DVR the time slot and see what happens. Hopefully it's MFB.

Robert Osborne's comments after ROAD TO ZANZIBAR just about confirm that they will be showing ROAD TO HONG KONG later.

The complete 1933 version is now on YouTube, in ten parts, starting here:

Pretty good picture and sound quality, but the opening "NRA" and Paramount logo are missing, as is the ending cast list.

I can't even count how many times I've seen the famous 1938 "Holiday".
I want to see the 1930 version!

"Block-Heads" was shown as scheduled on TCM on Tuesday night, January 19 as one of guest host Bob Newhart's picks.
In Canada where the Hal Roach films cannot be shown on TCM, the 1948 RKO Radio Picture "Variety Time" was shown in the place of "Block-Heads".
"Variety Time", while certainly enjoyable for what it is, almost doesn't even qualify as a "real movie". It's just a compilation of clips from other RKO films, including an Edgar Kennedy and a Leon Errol short, with Jack Paar as host. The whole thing is less than an hour long. I wonder how that was presented in place of Bob Newhart's pick of "Block-Heads". Did he really also pick that one, and have segments filmed in which he talks about it the way they do with the other guest hosted films?

Thanks for pointing that out. I too have noticed that and been (admittedly only slightly) bothered by it.
Another thing about Mr. Osborne, and I'm certainly not saying it's any kind of an error on his part, is that he's the only one I've ever heard who so noticeably emphasizes the word Academy when he says Academy Award.
No criticism, Robert...keep up the great work!

I'm sure Holly and others could answer this more completely (and I hope they will), but I believe I once heard that one thing that was altered was the "Oriental look" on some of the mushrooms.

I'm a big fan of the early-talkie musicals and of SPRING IS HERE. Sure some of the slower songs might be considered boring by some, until you give them a chance. But how can anyone not love the delightful Inez Courtney and her catchy fun songs "Spring Is Here In Person", "Bad Baby" and "What's the Big Idea"? Any one of those beats the whole long overblown GUYS AND DOLLS.
But I totally respect the comments from the defenders of GUYS AND DOLLS. It's okay that we all like different things!
And if TCM selects it as part of a Jean Simmons tribute, I won't mind if I happen to catch part of it. As I posted earlier, I do like the opening song, and of course the beautiful Miss Simmons and Vivian Blaine.

Sounds like an innovative menu idea on TCM on Sunday: Animal Crackers in the morning, and Breakfast (at Tiffany's) in the afternoon!
