That feature is actually from 1920 not 1922.
Nice cards! Thanks for posting!

There was also a silent version in 1923 starring Norma Talmadge, called WITHIN THE LAW. It's available on KINO DVD in a double-feature set with KIKI (1926) also starring Norma T.

I didn't have the TV on. Did they run a short at that time?
A few shorts have been added to the schedule through Wednesday, July 18, but there are still long gaps in the schedule on Sunday night, July 15 through early Monday, after the movies
THE BOY AND THE PIRATES
SAWDUST AND TINSEL
JULIA MISBEHAVES
These are gaps long enough for two-reel shorts to fit, so let's be sure to tune in and keep track (especially since TCM has been premiering some two-reel Vitaphone shorts lately!)

Thanks for the reminder!
There are some significant gaps in the upcoming schedule where two-reel shorts could fit on Sunday night (July 15), overnight Sunday/Monday, and on Monday morning.

Besides his humanitarian work, the film (and radio) work that to me he is best known for is playing the role of "Dr. Christian" in a series of six movies for RKO Radio between 1939 and 1941.
And he sure could play a nasty villain convincingly, too! He's excellent as the slimy evil bad guy in the 1930 Technicolor feature MAMBA which although long-lost has been found and is scheduled for restoration. Perhaps one day we'll see it on TCM!

Hey, you didn't post the Cinefest picture that I'm in!
http://www.syracusecinephile.com/node/50
And I have to heartily agree with what you say about Cinefest and Capitolfest. I'm a long-time regular at both and wouldn't miss them!
Not only are they great events to see rare films, but also to get to meet fans from other places, and after a while you'll be looking forward to attending as much to catch up with friends as to see the films.
Hey, TikiSoo,
See you at Capitolfest next month?

I brought this up earlier in the thread - Leo Gorcey may not have wanted to work with her again after the scene in the 1942 MGM movie BORN TO SING in which she socked him and knocked him down!

Susan Gordon's 4th movie THE BOY AND THE PIRATES (1960) (in which she gets to play two roles!) is coming up on TCM on Sunday night, July 15 (just eleven days before what would have been her 63rd birthday).
Info on the movie here:

And it's nice that they spelled his name correct this time (remember back in Jan. 2011 when they promoted his "Private Screenings" with a nice big picture of him on the Home Page but his name was spelled "Borgine").

Yes, there will be a tribute on TCM, on July 18.
Details here:
-
I'm glad to see that the Andy Griffith tribute will apparently be over by 4:00 A.M. when the movie I most wanted to see that night was scheduled: MADE IN HEAVEN (1952) a British comedy co-starring Petula Clark.

Ugaarte,
Thanks for the comments!
Yes, Scopitones are lots of fun, and a lot of interesting performers turned up in them.
As you saw, there are many on YouTube, and there are DVD compilations of them available.
-
For those who recall that way back when, this thread was about the movie SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS:
If anyone hasn't seen it and wants to find out what the discussions have been all about, the movie is scheduled again on TCM on the morning of July 11.

> I found a reference to this short on IMDb. The title is "Popular Science". It was produced by Paramount Pictures in 1942.
This is the plot summary, from the IMDb entry:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035201/plotsummary
Does the rest of the short's content seem to match what you recall about the short you saw?
By the way, I looked up the short in my files of original film reviews from the movie Trade Paper "The Exhibitor" and here's their review:
From issue dated November 18, 1942, page 1157:
POPULAR SCIENCE No. 2. Paramount. 9 minutes.
Covered are diamond cutting in New York; a two-decker house trailer in Indiana; the making of marbles for kids; the Wizard of Wausheka, who has a paper napkin restorer; and the new Vultee Vengeance, off the line in Nashville, Tenn.
Rating: Good.
Series no. J2-2.
Release Date: November 27, 1942.
In Magnacolor.

The "Popular Science" shorts were shown on AMC back in the early 1990's but have not been on TCM. So if you're sure you saw the short you're asking about on TCM it couldn't have been the Popular Science short.
And as Raquel said, TCM would have nothing to do with making a copy available.
Also, regarding a Popular Science short being part of the Paramount/Universal library (the series was originally produced by Paramount) I don't believe Paramount owns them any more (the prints shown on AMC had something added to the titles that indicated someone else owns them).
But anyway, good luck with your search.
I'll post updates if I learn anything more.

> {quote:title=ValentineXavier wrote:
> }{quote}According to the IMDb, it was released on Feb. 22nd, 1950. It's clearly not winter during the outdoor shots, so it must have been shot in 1949.
WOMAN IN HIDING was filmed between July and September 1949 and as noted, released Feb. 22, 1950. So, like most films released early in any year, it was filmed during the previous year.
So, referring to WOMAN IN HIDING, for example, calling it a 1949 movie or a 1950 movie would both technically be correct, it just depends upon whether one dates a movie by the year it was made or the year it was released.

First, the cast had been revised, with Ann Doran filling in as the mother and Tom Powers as the father (he too will be replaced in later entries). Doran is good, but almost too peppy compared to Margaret Lindsay from the original.

That's not too unusual for the first entry in a series to be very different from the rest, with cast changes, etc. Some examples are the "Dr. Kildare" and "Andy Hardy" series.
One reason for this of course is when the first in a series is produced with no expectations of a series being made, but later they decide to make more and decide to make some changes.
That could have been the case with the "Rusty" series.

I agree! Great cast, but I just get tired of too much of Henry Fonda being jealous of Jack Carson's interest in Olivia D.
