I know responding "ditto" is lame so I won't - but when I read your post every word pushed my "why I love TCM" button. Though I grew up in Southern Calif., we, too, had stations out of San Diego but mostly LA that programmed the classics, the not-so-classic and the "creature features." I remember writing in my diary as a 10-year-old that I'd seen *The Great Lie* "starring Bette Davis, Mary Astor and George Brent." Those days are gone! Aside from the infomercial onslaught, the channels that do show "old" movies are airing *The Wedding Planner* or somesuch...to be fair, San Francisco PBS occasionally broadcasts a classic-classic on Sat. night -
But, like you, *I have TCM.* I came home tonight to *Ruggles of Red Gap* and now *Top Hat* - I've got "Isn't This a Lovely Day" and "Cheek to Cheek" to look forward to!!
Going from Berlin to Gershwin, "who could ask for anything more?"

That really was a good one, all I could think of was guys with carnations in their lapels - but no particular film!

Not *Cat Chaser* (there's another one new to me that I'll have to check out now)...the writer I refer to isn't as well known as Leonard, or Hammett or Chandler, James M. Cain,etc. - but his books have been adapted on several occasions and by at least a couple of very high profile masters...
1. A broken-hearted woman pulls herself together and goes on a journey.
2. But it's not the trip she talked about and she doesn't go far away.
3. She has devised a plan, or should I say plot, to do anything but forget her heartache.
4. She carries a little black book with her?
5. Based on the work of a crime novelist; several of his books have been adapted for the screen.
6. One by one she finds and charms them...

It's not *Trip to Bountiful* but the clues fit up to a point - here's another clue:
1. A broken-hearted woman pulls herself together and goes on a journey.
2. But it's not the trip she talked about, and she doesn't go far away.
3. She has devised a plan, or should I say plot, to do anything but forget her heartache.
4. She carries a little black book with her?

This one doesn't seem to be getting much of a reaction - I'll try another clue...

I have to go with Maid Marian in *The Adventures of Robin Hood* - *Ivanhoe* is, sad to say, not one of my favorites...
Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers in *Rebecca* (1940) or Cornelia Otis Skinner as Miss Holloway in *The Uninvited* (1944)
Corrected!

OK - sticking with "Movie Music" but less with composers of soundtracks and themes, I'd like to pose this one -
The name of the hit song and the name of it's composer that was featured prominently in one of Federico Fellini's most celebrated films.
Name the song - and what was sensational about one of the scenes in which it was featured?

You are so right on *La Dolce Vita* - but I'm referring to a #1 hit song (from 1958) that is in the soundtrack more than once in the film - but there is a particular scene in which it is played that was considered sensational at the time.
