More clues:
This should make it easy... I think!
RKO Radio Pictures - 1930.

Did anyone dig on Wheeler and Woolsey this morning in HIPS, HIPS HOORAY???
ABSOLUTELY!
One of their best, and one of my favorites!

Booooo!
The Laurel & Hardy dedication was again cut out of the print shown today, April 1, 2012.
To some it may seem a small thing, but it kind of spoils the movie before it even starts.

In the 1933 Columbia short UM-PA ("Musical Novelty" series) Jack Osterman and Gloria Shea sing "You're the Only Girl I Love" (Con Conrad, Sidney Mitchell and Archie Gottler) while Jack drives Gloria through the city in his car.

Another on a train, not a car:
At the end of HALLELUJAH (1929) Daniel Haynes sings "Going Home" riding on top of a train.

Eddie Cantor at MGM? He did ONE movie there: the entertaining but hardly classic FORTY LITTLE MOTHERS (1940). Neither that nor his two at RKO in the 1940's (also fun but again, no classics) are anywhere near the fast and fun pre-code zaniness of Eddie's Goldwyns from 1930 through 1934. His 1936 Goldwyn Picture STRIKE ME PINK was a slight step down from its predecessors but still good fun.
Hey, I like Eddie in anything, but I feel that his Goldwyns are by far his best screen work.

STREET SCENE (1931) along with TONIGHT OR NEVER (1931) and THE GREEKS HAD A WORD FOR THEM (1932) were produced by Goldwyn for Feature Productions and went Public Domain years ago, and are now not part of this current deal.

I agree the flyer is from 1959. Checking a 1959 calendar all the dates and days of the week listed on the flyer correspond to 1959.

In the 1942 Universal Picture PRIVATE BUCKAROO The Andrews Sisters sing "Six Jerks in a Jeep" (Sid Robin) while bouncing along in a Jeep with Joe E. Lewis, Sidney Miller and Eddie Bruce.
See the movie here:

TOPPER (1937)
In the opening scene Cary Grant and Constance Bennett sing "The Old Oaken Bucket" while driving:

> What is known is that in Spring 1936, a few months before EVERY SUNDAY was filmed, MGM made an Exhibitor's reel spotlighting both Judy and Deanna. 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?

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.

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.

One of my top fave Nick Lowe songs! (And you KNOW it's hard to pick just one favorite).
Thanks for finding this. Great to hear an alternate, live version.

> 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.

Thanks! Good to hear it again. My favorite Judy Collins song. 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:

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've always interpreted the ending, as you see that lone figure, clearly wounded, riding back towards the mountains, from where his character originally came, as representing the probable bleakness of his future. 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.

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.
