Uncredited on the print or in the introductions for ROARING RAILS, the music score was newly recorded by Phil Carli, on the vintage Moller Organ at The Capitol Theatre in Rome, NY. More about The Capitol: http://www.romecapitol.com/about.html

My good friend former child actress Susan Gordon just passed away on Sunday, Dec. 11. She left us way too young at only age 62. She is and will be very much missed. Some favorite scenes: (She told me that the card playing scene was her "audition" for this movie. She did so well at it that she got the part). And another nice clip:

Mongo, Child and teen actress Susan Gordon has passed away at age 62. She was a talented actress and a beautiful lady. I already posted about her here: http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=162974&tstart=0 She was a good and dear friend and I thought you, being the Candids Master might be able to search around and find a nice picture to post as a tribute. (I do have numerous pictures from all stages of her life & career, but I feel that this is your thread so I'm giving you the job to come up with something.) I am hoping too, that TCM will be able to insert her somewhere into the "TCM Remembers 2011" tribute as soon as possible, as it should run at least until the end of the year and she deserves to be included.

There have been a few different versions of the story, but this is probably the one you're thinking of: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050100/synopsis THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON (1957), also known as PARADISE LAGOON. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050100/combined

That reminds me of when a few months ago TCM did an Ernest Borgnine tribute and at the top of the site they promoted him as "Ernest Borgine". Nice artwork, very well-done graphics...but they misspelled the star's name!

There is apparently a 59 minute version and a 78 minute version. TCM just showed the shorter one, allowing time for an unlisted short, which is THE TRANSATLANTIC MYSTERY (1932) - Vitaphone (Van Dine series).

Unlisted short on Wednesday, Dec. 14 at about 4:10 P.M. - THE TRANSATLANTIC MYSTERY (1932) - Vitaphone. (Van Dine series).

It is coming up on TCM on Tuesday night, Dec. 13.

> {quote:title=singsong wrote: > }{quote}*Please please please does anyone know the song that is played on Linus' portable phonograph after "Yes, We Have No Bananas?" It's the one that sadly reminds Linus of his past lover.* According to the Paramount music cue sheet for the movie (dated April 23, 1954) the song "Yes, We Have No Bananas" is used briefly five times in the course of the movie (some usages as short as 2 seconds) and the songs that follow it are "My Ideal" (Leo Robin, Richard Whiting and Newell Chase) and "La Vie En Rose" (Louinguy, Edith Piaf, Mack David). I hope that will help.

The October 14, 2011 issue of the magazine "Entertainment Weekly" has a Reunion feature on casts of some movies and TV shows including the cast of ALIENS. There's a picture of Carrie Henn as she looks now at age 35 and an article revealing how she feels about being in the movie, her co-stars, and what she's doing now (she's a fourth grade teacher).

Recognize Boris Karloff behind Lila? You'll be happy to learn that this film exists (at least in 16mm). It was shown at the annual Capitolfest in Rome, NY on August 8, 2008. The print, I believe, came from The Library of Congress. And by the way, it's from 1928, not 1924.

> {quote:title=Scottman wrote: > }{quote}A Christmas carol from Mary Hopkin: > > Thanks for posting that one. I've always (since 1968!) been a Mary Hopkin fan. It's not Christmas-related, but here's one of my favorites. It came out in 1970 in England and was a big hit. When it finally was released in America in 1972 it went nowhere (but it sold at least ONE 45...to me...and of course I still have it!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-4fUgjceKo

A favorite "forgotten Christmas gem" of mine is a 1986 TV-movie called CHRISTMAS SNOW. The stars were Katherine Helmond, Sid Caesar and Melissa Joan Hart (the future "Sabrina" star putting in a good performance here at only age ten). There is some especially good dramatic work by Sid Caesar. Recommended! Copies of this movie were almost impossible to find for years unless one had taped its original broadcast on Dec. 20, 1986. But now there are very affordable DVD's of it available (on eBay by searching the movie's title). Some of them even come packaged with a bonus CD of Christmas songs. From the more classic movie period, other favorite "Christmas gems" that sometimes seem to be forgotten, or at least not mentioned enough are: BEYOND TOMORROW (1940) SCROOGE (1935 version of "A Christmas Carol").

But for accuracy, let me say that actually COME AND GET IT was not a Paramount Picture, but a Samuel Goldwyn Production released by United Artists. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027459/companycredits And it was not Frances Farmer's screen debut. She had appeared in three Paramount movies before COME AND GET IT.
