Unlike EVERY SUNDAY, this short film wasn't intended to be shown to anyone but MGM executives and Loew's Theatre owners at a Metro Theatre Convention. Does this film exist? Has anyone seen it since 1936?

> {quote:title=Arturo wrote: > }{quote}That's the one. I recorded it about a year or so ago, and I'm almost certain it was on FMC. Will check my recording to see if there's a station logo on it. You're probably right. I admit that sometimes I get so bored with FMC running the same stuff over & over that I may go weeks at a time forgetting to check their listings.

> {quote:title=casablancalover wrote: > }{quote}You just played one of my all time favorites! Thank you! > > [Get Ready|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gyeGudMMYU] I always have liked Rare Earth too. I still have most of their albums, including their first (1968, before they went to Motown, and including their original, first recording of "Get Ready") and the original 1970 "Get Ready" LP with the rare first-pressing rounded top. Looking through the YouTube listings I counted what appeared to be almost a hundred different posts of various versions of "Get Ready" but I was surprised not to see anywhere the original version, from that 1968 album on YouTube. I wonder, in fact, even when the song was a hit in 1970, how many fans even were aware (then and now) that the hit version everyone knows was a remake of an older song from the band's first album.

(And you KNOW it's hard to pick just one favorite). Thanks for finding this. Great to hear an alternate, live version.

> {quote:title=Arturo wrote:}{quote} > Can't remember the name of it, but a movie that Jane Withers costarred with Gene Autry and Marjorie Weaver has been on FMC a few times in the last couple of years. That one is SHOOTING HIGH (1940). And are you sure you don't mean it was shown on Encore Westerns, not FMC? I've never seen it on FMC, or even seen it listed there. But Encore Westerns ran it several times in the mid-1990's along with Autry's Republic anmd Columbia movies.

THE GREAT RACE is coming up again on Sunday, April 1. Let's hope the dedication is back in the print shown that day.

Got the 45 when it came out in early 1969 (and of course I still have it!)

Hey, the number 41 got skipped! Would the 1979 movie "1941" have been an acceptable submission for no. 41?

There's some excellent discussion on SHANE in this thread: http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=141544&start=0&tstart=240

It's amusingly ironic that the new prints TCM runs of AIP movies are preceded or followed by new MGM logos. MGM was considered the ultimate of quality while AIP was the cheapo grade Z company. Who'd have thought back then that some day MGM would have their trademark on the AIP pictures.

I think he probably will survive the effects of the gunfight he was just in, but there will be, maybe not so far away, another gunfight and then another. Until, one day, the inevitable will probably happen. > > Watching a wounded Shane slowly ride towards the mountains at the end of that picture is truly a poignant moment, not only for the small boy pleading with his hero to stay, but also for the probable sad fate that awaits that hero. > There could be more to the ending than just Shane riding back toward the mountains. There are those who say he's riding up over the hills into a graveyard (and can see the grave stones, although I'm not sure I agree). So some speculate that this interpretation of the final scene says Shane is fatally shot and is about to die.

> {quote:title=TopBilled wrote: > }{quote}I am wondering if Withers' films aired on the old AMC. > > And speaking of Fox B-comedies, I would like to see the Jones family films, too. I don't believe any of the Jane Withers films you listed were ever shown on AMC, except possibly the one with Shirley Temple. And I agree about the Jones Family series. For a series with 17 entries it's crazy that it's almost never shown (and indeed probably still an unknown series to a lot of movie fans). Watch for an article on The Jones Family series in an upcoming issue of the publication "Classic Images".

Unlisted short, Saturday morning, March 24, 2012 at 5:20 A.M. - FASHION'S MIRROR (1930) - Vitaphone.

Despite the resemblance to Maynard Holmes I do not believe the hat delivery guy is Mr. Holmes.

> {quote:title=TopBilled wrote: > }{quote}Jane Withers' films do not even air on FMC, at least none recently. And that's just where one would expect to see them. The only one I recall seeing on FMC is THIS IS THE LIFE and probably BRIGHT EYES. HER FIRST BEAU (1941) (Columbia) was scheduled on TCM a couple of years ago but was pulled from the schedule and not shown. So far it still hasn't been re-scheduled. One might think that since TCM interviewed Jane Withers on a "Private Screenings" show a few years ago they'd try to acquire some of her movies.

That short is available as an extra on the 2005 DVD of THE BANDWAGON. It's also included in the DVD set "Vitaphone Cavalcade of Musical Comedy Shorts". Details here: http://www.wbshop.com/product/vitaphonecavalcadeofmusicalcomedyshorts1000179952.do?sortby=priceDescend&from=fn

> {quote:title=TopBilled wrote:}{quote} > *JANE WITHERS* > > PADDY O'DAY (1936) with Jane Darwell > I agree, too many of Jane Withers' movies, especially those made at Fox haven't been seen on TV anywhere in way too long. But, some good news for her fans: PADDY O'DAY is scheduled on TCM on June 27, 2012.

36 HOURS (1964) Starring James Garner.

Feel better soon!

A clue: One of the singers is half of a comedy team.
