The only other info I have is that it is a Hal R. Makelim produced it. Thanks Yes, being a Bowery Boys (and related groups) fan, I've known about this for several years, but have never seen it. I have an article on it around here someplace. I'll let you know if I find it. A few years ago there was a still from it offered on eBay. I tried for it but lost it. I hope you were the winner!

> {quote:title=TopBilled wrote: > }{quote}Yes, I appreciate the huge amount of airplay she has had in the past few months. It's been fun (re)discovering these films and the performances she turned in at the height of her popularity. She's on TCM again today (Jan. 9) in BARRICADE (1950). Hey, if TCM would devote a whole day to her movies we could call it a "Roman Holiday"!

> {quote:title=hamradio wrote: > }{quote}"Earth vs the Spider" (1958) is one of the best '50's B grade movies. It's about time someone finally mentioned one of Bert I. Gordon's productions. He was well-known for these kinds of movies. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0330026/

Unlisted short on Monday morning, Jan. 9, 2012 at 4:25 A.M. - KEEP 'EM SAILING (1942) - MGM - "Crime Does Not Pay" series.

> {quote:title=mr6666 wrote: > }{quote}-hint? It's hard to think of a hint for these. But I hope this will make sense and be helpful: These films gave each of their stars a chance to stretch their acting talents beyond what they were generally known for. But in each of these films we also got to see each of the stars as they were best known.

And on the 7th, unless there's a version I never heard of, I'm sure you mean that THE INVISIBLE MAN is from 1933. Thanks for going to all the effort to give us these sneak previews of the upcoming schedules!

> {quote:title=markbeckuaf wrote: > }{quote}Man, just finished up watching RIVER'S END, an obscure little flick from 1930, with Charles Bickford, and the too cute for words Evalyn Knapp!!! Wow, that was so groovy!!! Sentimental, but loved every second of it!!! > > Now digging on the 1951 drama, TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY, with hunky Steve Cochrane and luscious Ruth Roman! > Mark, Groovin' on these flicks too! I hadn't seen RIVER'S END in many years and had almost forgotten how good it was. TCM sure doesn't run this one often enough. Did you know there's a remake in 1940 starring Dennis Morgan and Elizabeth Earl? That one also isn't shown often. And when it is, it has the fake TV-print title DOUBLE IDENTITY. It's one of those cases in which the title of one version was changed when they were sold to TV (apparently it was felt at the time that the dumb TV audiences would confuse the two movies if the titles were the same). And I totally agree with you about Evalyn Knapp! Always liked her and wish more of her films were available. And nice to see ZaSu Pitts in the movie, too, wasn't it? Digging TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY now on TCM. Never seen this one before. And it's good! Interesting to hear the old songs they're using in the music score. The 1929 hit song "Deep Night" seems to be the theme song: it was played over the main titles and credits, on the juke box in an early scene, and often as background music. Also, heard "I Cover the Waterfront" and "Get Happy" played. Check out this interesting info on some of the cars used in the movie: http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=44136

> {quote:title=ziggyelman wrote: > }{quote}Oh yes, unwatchable! I have direct TV, so it was on TCM s side it would appear....shame, since I don't recall it running before... Several of the early talkie period RKO's look like that. I assume that's the best material there is. And, yes, it has been on TCM before, but not as often as we'd like.

> {quote:title=misswonderly wrote: > }{quote}Did somebody mention The Bonzo Dog Band a while back? Whoever suggested that these guys were front-running candidates ( I mean, candidatates) for the funniest band of all time had the right idea. Funny they were, and incidentally, good musicians. One of them, Neil Innes, had a lot to do with the production of that ( "in my opinion") hilarious and affectionate spoof of the Beatles, "The Rutles." > > Anyway, here be The Bonzo Dog Band with Urban Spaceman. There are several versions out there in youtube land, so I picked two, one an original "video", the other a live version.

I'm sure you know that "I'm the Urban Spaceman" was produced by Paul McCartney, under an alias.

Possibly PICTURE MOMMY DEAD (1966). Plot summary here: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/28383/Picture-Mommy-Dead/full-synopsis.html Stars: Susan Gordon, Don Ameche, Martha Hyer, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Wendell Corey, Signe Hasso, Maxwell Reed, Anna Lee.

> {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote: > }{quote}Wow, the one about Enrico Caruso, just ending now, was fantastic. The credits said it was actually Caruso's voice we were hearing. Evidently from his old recordings. Yes, they mentioned in the opening credits that they'd be using real Caruso records and even gave the name and numbers of the Victor Records album. And I could hear the record's scratchiness on the film's soundtack when the guy playing Caruso started to "sing". You're right, that was a good show. I always liked Sandy Descher and she did her usual good job in this show.

Robert Greig?

> {quote:title=mongo wrote:}{quote} > Mary Murphy and John Payne have a good time on the set of "Hell's Island" Mary Murphy must have decided that riding around on motorcycles with Marlon Brando was too dangerous, and that this is safer.

I believe GRANT MITCHELL is in all four of those movies.
