[The 19th TCM Programming Challenge: Easy as 1-2-3]

Wow, too many great schedules to read right now, but skimming implies they are awesome

[The 19th TCM Programming Challenge: Easy as 1-2-3]

hlywdkjk-- AWESOME! Do you know how much I wish I wrote this one? I adore the Olympics and find this so fascinating. Olympia definitely needs to be shown -- haven't seen it in years. And how cool to show Olympians in acting roles. Cool! And Albert Finney is a worthy choice for SOTM. Awesome!

 

(sorry I can't get all that weird coding off the post)

mudskipper got it-- your thread

[The 19th TCM Programming Challenge: Easy as 1-2-3]

Fedya, you're so good. Especially love the Hollywood rip offs-- so true. Great job.

[Do You Know This Song?]

Wow, is that really what it's called? I always assumed that tremendously fun and incredibly '60s song was called "highs and lows". But yes you're right, of course.

 

Your thread.

[A to Z of Characters]

Ismay, Bruce - Frank Lawton in A NIGHT TO REMEMBER (1958)

[Do You Know This Song?]

 

Next, identify song, singer, film with these lyrics:

 

"Sometimes it's hot

Sometimes it's cold

But if it's hot or cold

You learn to burn

And then you freeze

Love's like a circus

And you're on a trapeze"

 

 

[Find the Movie Star in Classic TV]

This classic MGM actor once appeared on an episode on (one of my favorite shows of all time) *I Spy* as a British agent whose last name was Rickaby-Hackaby (sp?). Who was it?

[Do You Know This Song?]

from "This is My Affair" (1937)?

[*A to Z of actresses and actors*:)]

Queen, Steve Mc

White, Mrs - Madeleine Kahn in CLUE

Fedya-- even TCM doesn't always start the day at 6am. I wouldn't worry about that so much. (I'm sure I never do)

[OT: Summer Concerts]

Thanks for the correction. Most people there had never heard of him but he sucked in the audience within one number. Amazing guy.

[OT: Summer Concerts]

I go to a LOT of summer concerts, and need a place to tell everyone about them. I'm not usually the only one who goes to summer concerts. So you all now have a place to write about them as well.

 

Just went to my first Hollywood Bowl concert of the season: Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. These people are amazing! They played Jelly Roll Morton, James Moody, and a piece from a Painter's suite about Monet. They are absolutely incredible--they all play multiple instruments and sing too. The first act was an amazing African jazz band with this incredible guy named Hugh Makela (I think...). Awesome!

[*A to Z of Movies*]

Back to the Future

[A to Z of Characters]

Kubelik, Fran - Shirley MacLaine in THE APARTMENT

[Remakes of Musicals in general]

It's true we really can't compare the Hugh Jackman Oklahoma with the movie because it is a filmed play. I definitely prefer the Susan Stroman choreography, though, in that, but I do love the cast in the film.

[GRAND HOTEL]

Lionel Barrymore blows my mind in that. Though it's a great cast, to me he steals the show

[By Any Other Name..]

Robert Cummings

 

Where Leslie Caron is from (country) White Christmas song "There were never such devoted ___sters" Star of "The Courtship of Eddie's Father," Glenn ____ "You'll never get me, ___pers!" "Hello" in Spanish

[Wish I was an extra in THAT scene!]

 

Some scenes look like so much fun to be part of, even for a lowly extra. Wish I was an extra in these scenes:

 

* WIsh I was one of those kids in "The King's New Clothes" in *Hans Christian Anderson* --how fun reacting to Danny Kaye!

* Wish I was one of the guests in *Animal Crackers* --they don't have to do anything but just watch the Marx Brothers be awesome, and who knows how many different things those guys ad libbed in different takes.

* Wish I was one of the "church guests" in the "Mister Booze" number in *Robin and the 7 Hoods* --how fun to rock out to that song! Though it's prerecorded, Bing and the Rat Pack are still actually there, and I could definitely hear that song a lot

 

And you?

 

 

[The First Film That Comes to Mind...]

ALL ABOUT EVE

 

next: phone bill

[The 19th TCM Programming Challenge: Easy as 1-2-3]

 

Wow, there's a lot of titles from Hamlet. Just found there's also a silent movie called "The Play's The Thing"

 

 

[Do You Know This Song?]

Okay Flash you got me curious, and my searching hasn't worked out---which one is Tucker Smith in H2$? Which numbers can he be seen in and doing what?

[Find the Movie Star in Classic TV]

 

Flashback seems to know who he is. Care to tell us his name and which parts I mean?
