> {quote:title=doctorxx wrote: > }{quote}Anyone seen this film? Stars George Raft, Virginia Mayo and Raymond Burr. I felt I had seen all of Mayo's films but this title drew a blank. Was Raft still on the WB payroll as late as 1949? As clore pointed out, RED LIGHT is a United Artists Picture, not Warner Bros. I have seen it on TCM twice in the last couple of years, so it may be on again. Watch the listings! I enjoyed it a lot, despite having read several unfavorable reviews by others, such as on IMDb.

> {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote: > }{quote}Wow, Van Johnson Ava Gardner, Keye Luke, and Marilyn Maxwell in a movie together in Three Men in White! Fred, Mark, As you may know, Keye Luke was a very talented artist, as well as actor. I have a great still taken on the set of THREE MEN IN WHITE showing Keye Luke painting a portrait of Van Johnson, with Van posing with a strange almost pained look on his face. (Wish I could post it here, but never quite figured that out.)

I am 99% sure this short has never been on TCM before. If part of it may look familiar to TCM viewers it may be because one of the musical numbers was used in a later Warner Bros. short, MUSICAL MOVIELAND (1944) which has been on TCM many times. Here's info on the DVD set in which the short is available from Warner Archives: http://www.wbshop.com/Vitaphone-Cavalcade-of-Musical-Comedy-Shorts/1000179952,default,pd.html?cgid=ZARCHIVEALL

It's not an easy one to find a copy of. It was scheduled on TCM a couple years ago but then pulled and not shown. But it is to be included in the upcoming "Jean Arthur Drama Collection" DVD set. http://shop.tcm.com/jean-arthur-drama-collection-dvd/detail.php?p=368343

> {quote:title=lavenderblue19 wrote: > }{quote}*Ah, Wilderness* was filmed in the surrounding towns of where I lived for 35 years. The film *The Gazebo* was too! I'm familiar with that area. What town did you live in?

> {quote:title=lavenderblue19 wrote: > }{quote}I did the best I could with this one. I haven't seen the films in a long while.Other than my original aanswer of NE locations of Connecticut and Ma. as locations, don't know what you're looking for as the answer. As an aside, *Ah, Wilderness* was filmed in the surrounding towns of where I lived for 35 years. That was very close: the answer is that all four of the movies had location filming in Massachusetts. (I decided I'd be a wise guy and follow the previous question, which was location filming in Connecticut, with one for which the answer is filming locations in Massachusetts). Maybe it was too tricky because one can pretty easily research that three of the movies had Mass. location shooting, but for THE MAN IN THE NET it is not widely documented that parts of it were filmed in Mass. As noted in the previous answer it had location filming in Connecticut but it's only because the Mass. location is local to me that I've learned about it many years ago. Also I was good friends with actress Susan Gordon who played one of the children in the movie and in doing a lot of research for her on her films, along with info she had on it, I learned of the Mass. location. It was a place in Framingham, Mass. called Raceland. (Coincidentally one of the Conn. locations mentioned earlier was called Roseland.) WALK EAST ON BEACON had location filming in Boston (presumably on & around Beacon Street). MYSTERY STREET had location filming in several Mass. areas including Beacon Hill, Cape Cod, Harvard Square and Harvard University. AH, WILDERNESS had filming in the city of Worcester and towns of Clinton and Grafton.

> {quote:title=deadendkid wrote:}{quote} > Thanks very much! I'll be on the lookout for it. I was watching for the other Jacquie Lyn, Jackie Lynn Taylor actually, when I was abruptly staightened out. I'll bet there are other films she appeared in and didn't receive any credit. I believe it was a common practice at the time. Yes, Jacquie Lyn and Jackie Lynn Taylor have been mixed up by sloppy reseachers for many years...and continue to be (IMDb still has Taylor - as JacquelineTaylor) listed as Ann Dvorak's child instead of the correct Jacquie Lyn in MOLLY LOUVIAN. What makes these surprise discoveries of undocumented Jacquie Lyn appearances most interesting to me is that she did have scrapbooks and some documentation on her career, which she showed me. And as I noted earlier, her memories were sharp. So I really didn't expect to discover films she made that even she didn't even know about or have any record of.

> {quote:title=deadendkid wrote:}{quote} > > Musicalnovelty, I was very pleasantly surprised to find Jacquie Lyn in this film. Took me a bit to recall who that little kid was. Enjoyed your story. What a find to be able to be friends with her. You mentioned a seventh film she did. What was the title? It's YOUNG AMERICA (Fox, April 17, 1932). She is completely unbilled and undocumented anywhere as appearing in it. If I hadn't actually seen the movie and recognized her in it I'd still never have known she's in it. And of course, that has to make me wonder how many other so far unseen movies from that period may she also be in that are completely undocumented and we won't know until we see them.

> {quote:title=kriegerg69 wrote: > }{quote}It would have been much easier to do such a thing to those Wayne films because many of them had very little or no music. High Noon would be much more difficult to alter because they'd have to have access to the film's audio recordings...they couldn't just simply "layer" new music in there. There's also the issue of copyright on High Noon...they couldn't simply alter the music without permission....those Wayne films, as was pointed out, were public domain and could be tampered with. Yes, exactly. And then after the perpetrators had defaced the John Wayne movies with their added scoring they could copyright them as their own new works.

WB pre-code snap-crackle-pop at it's zenith! Mark, I agree, Tuesday on TCM was one of the best days ever! Thanks, TCM! And I totally agree about the beautiful Mary Brian. I've long been a fan/admirer of hers. She is someone who, beacuse she did most of her work at a studio (Paramount) we don't see enough of on TCM, still may not have been discovered by many TCM viewers.
