> {quote:title=Dmallon wrote: > }{quote}Having watched the 1938 version again on TCM I came away thinking that the film seems almost to be rushed. I don't know if it is the editing or the script, but I think an additional 15 minutes might have improved the movie. Coming in at 69 minutes, there would seem to be space for a some additions. If you think it seems rushed at 69 minutes, you should have seen the "MGM Parade" show (just aired early this morning) in which they condensed the entire movie to about 12 minutes!

I'm hoping we can catch the Reginald Owen one this year. If not, I'll borrow the George C Scott version from the library. > > It's a fun holiday tradition! A favorite of mine is the 1935 version starring Seymour Hicks, partly because it often seems to be forgotten when the subject comes up of best or favorite versions. And, I cast another vote for the Mr. Magoo version as one of the best (or at least a LOT better than one might have expected for a TV cartoon!) - not the least reason being the great songs. TikiSoo, Have you and TikiKid seen these versions yet? How do they rate with you?

> {quote:title=calvinnme wrote: > }{quote}I just updated the March schedule with 18 new entries. The new entries are in bold.... > I hope this has been helpful. Yes, thank you! A few highlights on the schedule for me: March 3 - Hollywood Barn Dance (1947) - Cool! Just the kind of obscurity I wish they'd dig up more often! March 6 - daytime - Pre-code day! March 6, later - The Public Menace (1935, Columbia) - Jean Arthur. Scheduled once before but then pulled, here it is again, and I expect that it really will be shown this time. Recently released on TCM's Jean Arthur DVD set. March 7 - Some rarely shown 1950's stuff. March 29 - With Byrd at the South Pole (1930). Those are just a few highlights...lots of other good stuff too! March 7 -

It's coming up on TCM on Tuesday night, Dec. 6.

As I mentioned in a post elsewhere, the sound on my computer has died and I'm not sure yet how to fix it, which of course is a drag...BUT not so much when I saw which version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" you posted there!

Unlisted short on Sunday morning, Dec. 4, 2011, after movie MR. SOFT TOUCH: THE VOICE THAT THRILLED THE WORLD (1943) - Warner Bros.

I like Commander Cody The sound on my computer has died and I'm not sure how to get it back, so I'm posting these YouTube clips without hearing them first, but I'm hoping they will be as good as I think they will be: Commander Cody's original guitarist, Bill Kirchen, is still going strong and plays his own unique updated version of "Hot Rod Lincoln". Here are two different performances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGpr-Zy_wRs And:

Not so sure of this "half a mug" but maybe: Gene Raymond?

Could it be THE RING (1952)? Info here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045091/combined

> {quote:title=ThelmaTodd wrote: > }{quote}Here she is, Ms. Long Legs! Scanned from my sheet music collection: > > I have this sheet music too! I like how it's one of the few I've seen where they used a still from the film for the cover but left on the "still code" number (154-32) - 154 being the First National number of the film, 32 being the still number. I have a few 78 records of that song. But I wonder if we'll ever see the movie. And if so, would it be the sound version?

> {quote:title=finance wrote: > }{quote}I still like, "You and me and Leslie" (a menage-a-trois) instead of "you and me endlessly" from the Rascals' "Groovin'". Got to admit in all these years I never heard it that way. But, you don't have to worry about that in these rare versions: And:

That song is "Saw You First" by a group called Givers. More info here: http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=162029&tstart=75

> {quote:title=ThelmaTodd wrote:}{quote} > The thing about the Library Of Congress, is that IF you are giving them something that is in the public domain and which is viable for video release, then any third party can go there, have a copy made.... You make many good points, but let's not give the impression that getting copies of stuff from The Library of Congress is easy, inexpensive, or even possible at all sometimes (even for public domain material). I agree that the first thing Mr. Talbot should do is to identify what his films are. Then the rarity and necessity for preservation can be determined.

Unlisted short - Wednesday morning, Nov. 30 at 5:52 A.M. after feature FORTUNES OF CAPTAIN BLOOD: ZEELAND, THE HIDDEN PARADISE (1934) - MGM. "TravelTalks" series.
