Hello!
Thanks for your nice comment!
I'm happy to say that I got to meet with Mr. Moore in person soon after making contact here, and we spent a good long time discussing and sharing info on Jane Barnes. He's a nice guy and it was a pleasure and honor to be able to share info and material with him.

The title of the Shirley Booth movie you mean is actually... no, I'll spare everyone and not say it!

> {quote:title=cody1949 wrote:}{quote}I see that a 4 movie Jean Arthur DVD Collection is now available for purchase at the TCM shop. One of the films is PUBLIC MENACE with George Murphy in 1935. Has this movie been shown on the TCM cable channel yet?
No...never on TV before!
THE PUBLIC MENACE is a rare one!
It was scheduled to be shown on TCM last March 20 but then pulled and not shown. My research (old volumes of the "B.I.B. Books") convinces me that it has NEVER been shown on television anywhere ever before! Who knows why, but even with such well-known stars as Jean Arthur and George Murphy, Columbia just never made it available to TV.
I got to see it (in nice 35mm) at the 2007 Capitolfest in Rome, NY but nowhere else before or since.
So this new DVD release is great news for fans of Jean Arthur and of rare Columbias of the 1930's.
Thanks to Sony/Columbia for releasing this!
And hey don't hesitate to keep this kind of stuff coming!

Yes, that is she.
That shot probably was taken during filming of the 1941 Marx Brothers movie THE BIG STORE in which she co-starred with The Marxes.

Yes, that's probably it. And while the actors certainly were good, there weren't really any big "superstar" names to promote.

Another unlisted Van Dine short just shown after THE BIG CLOCK, Oct. 6, 2011:
THE CLYDE MYSTERY (1931).

It's interesting that in the opening titles to the movie and on the poster shown here that no cast list is given.
That certainly doesn't happen often with most movies.

That's Leo Willis in a shot from the 1929 Laurel & Hardy short THE HOOSEGOW.

That still is promoting Alan Ladd's 1950 Paramount movie BRANDED, although Sue Carol does not appear in the movie.

That's great news! THE PUBLIC MENACE sure is a rare one! I believe it was scheduled once on TCM but then pulled from the schedule and not shown. I did get to see it (in a great-looking 35mm print) at the 2007 Capitolfest in Rome, NY. But I've never seen it anywhere else.
The other titles on this set are also good and well worth seeing (as of course is anything with Jean Arthur!) but THE PUBLIC MENACE certainly will be the highlight of this set for many Jean Arthur fans.

> Fred Astaire invites Shirley Temple to dance as Rita Hayworth stands by
Thanks for that nice shot of Shirley visiting the stars on the set of their 1942 Columbia movie YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER.
I have an alternate shot taken just a few seconds before or after...in mine Rita has more of a smile on her face and Fred and Shirley have moved just a little.
Does anyone know the story behind Shirley's visit to Columbia in 1942? I also have a still of her visiting the set of the 1942 Columbia Picture MY SISTER EILEEN - on the same day, I'm assuming - Shirley is wearing the exact same dress, shoes and hat. The still is dated July 1942. Could Columbia have been considering signing her for some movies? And did she visit other Columbia sets that day, too?
One wonders why Columbia would be photographing Shirley visiting their sets if they didn't have something to promote. Shirley fans know that she did make one movie at Columbia in 1945 but what was up in 1942 with these promotional stills?
Mongo, in your searching, can you find any other shots of Shirley visiting Columbia in July 1942?

> {quote:title=cody1949 wrote:}{quote}I love Cagney. He's my favorite actor of all time,but let's leave something memorable for George Raft. Besides, Cagney and Bogart as brothers just doesn't work for me. They were adversaries in too many previous films to all of a sudden be cast as brothers.
I agree with Cody and all the others who said that as much as we love Cagney we're happy with THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT just as it is. And I agree too with those who have said good things about George Raft.

Find something they all have in common.
A QUESTION ABOUT PUBLIC MENACE

> {quote:title=cody1949 wrote:}{quote}Thanks musicalnovelty for the info. What did you think of the film?
I liked it a lot. It's more of a gangster / newspaper drama than a comedy, so I was a little surprised it's being included in this upcoming Jean Arthur "Comedy Collection". But there is a bit of comedy in there, as usual with these 1930's stories.
