I think I got it! -
HOLD THAT GHOST (1941) starring Abbott & Costello.

Here are a few comments on MISS ROBIN CRUSOE that I just posted in another thread:
It really was pretty cheesy - looked like a Monogram jungle set (I half expected to see The Bowery Boys or Bomba The Jungle Boy walk into a scene at any moment!) It's actually an independent production released through 20th Century-Fox.
But it has bright colors, and was good fun in a "bad movie fun" sort of way.
The editing looked weird in that a lot of scenes seemed to fade out to black too quickly before they appeared to really be over.
I was actually looking forward to this one as something I'd never seen, or even heard of before. And I admit I did enjoy it.
Was this a TCM premiere? I don't recall ever seeing it scheduled before.

TCM Flix to Groove to--Jan 21-Jan 29!!!Sunday night!!!!! OMG, a tribute to the great Bela Lugosi!!! ....MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE (1932), not widely revered, but in my opinion a much, much underrated horror treat!This one features two of my favorite movie ladies: Sidney Fox and Edna Marion.
Miss Fox is the star while Edna appears unbilled (in her final film role). If you are familiar with the silent Laurel & Hardy and Charley Chase shorts of the late 1920's you should know the beautiful Edna Marion. In this one she appears in the opening scenes as Bert Roach's girlfriend "Mignette".

Watch for Shemp Howard (of The Three Stooges) in this one!
It's his only film for RKO Radio Pictures (not counting three shorts he made for Van Beuren in 1934 that were released through RKO).

> As for MISS ROBIN CRUSOE, I have not seen it, so can't really recommend it, but it's on my viewing radar for sure! I mainly want to check it out because of Amanda Blake! I've been totally grooving lately to the early episodes of GUNSMOKE, and I really love watching the interaction of the characters on that series, and the actors portraying them seem to have a genuine chemistry. I am not sure I've ever seen Amanda Blake in anything else, to be honest, so that attracted me!

Mark,
I just watched it. Let us know what you thought after you see it.
It really was pretty cheesy - looked like a Monogram jungle set (I half expected to see The Bowery Boys or Bomba The Jungle Boy walk into a scene at any moment!) It's actually an independent production released through 20th Century-Fox.
But it has bright colors, and was good fun in a "bad movie fun" sort of way.

If you're watching it as an Amanda Blake fan, you'll be pleased...you get to see a LOT of her in the movie (you'll see what I mean!)
Was this a TCM premiere? I don't recall ever seeing it scheduled before.
Anyone else see it and have any comments?

Here's one of my favorite ABBA songs:
It's a bit different from their usual sound.
It was a bit of a rarity for many years, being released only as a B-side of a 45 in 1977, although recorded in 1975. It finally came out in a CD compilation in about 1997.

It's from the 1940's.
It's a musical.
It's in Technicolor.
It's never been shown on TCM.
It's from a major studio (not Monogram, Republic, PRC, etc.).

Here's what the TCM DataBase says about it...not much, but it's looking like Kyle is right about what was being advertised:

Yes, that's it. And in the film, his brother was the very short actor Don Tompkins.

Hey, it's Mary Ann from "Gilligan's Island"!
Looks like she'd rather still be on the island.

Now that we're at a point with an answer but not another question, should we try to get my earlier one answered? The answer given was not the one I had in mind.
So, to hopefully get it over with, a clue:
It's an early one in Jimmy's career, in fact he's not even given onscreen billing in the film's credits.
-
> {quote:title=MontyC wrote:
> }{quote}IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

I wasn't thinking of that one.
I suppose in just about any movie in which Jimmy had a brother he would be the taller one.
I was thinking of a certain comedy film in which the contrast between tall Jimmy and his very short brother was such a memorable visual gag that one wonders if that was the only reason Jimmy and the other actor were cast in those roles in the film at all.
So, this one's still open...any guesses?

You did post this same shot about a month ago, so I was going to pass on it this time.
But, if you'd like to keep it moving, let's give this gent a name:
Trevor Bardette.

Or, to be more exact, Scotty Beckett plays each of those four actors as a boy in each of those movies.
But that's just an added detail. Allaboutlana gets the credit for getting the correct answer.

Name a movie that has five unrelated actors all named Hall in the cast.

Patricia Owens was in the 1966 "Perry Mason" episode shown on Me-TV this morning. I didn't realize it's her birthday today.
Thanks, Mongo, for keeping these folks' memories alive.

There's a scene in the 1935 Wheeler & Woolsey movie THE NITWITS with Bert & Bob on stilts.

No.

It was suggested on another thread that the 1960 movie TORMENTED starring Richard Carlson, with Susan Gordon would be a good candidate for "TCM Underground". I'd have to agree with that!
In case TCM never gets to it, here it is on YouTube:

You mean, I'm sure, Ted LEWIS, not Brown.
My turn, eh?
Okay, I'll think of something...later today...
