Shirley Temple was in THE LITTLEST REBEL with Bojangles Robinson

My favorite fatties are probably Eugene Palette (the voice!), Zero Mostel, and Guy Kibbee.

Christmas in Connecticut

There is an amazing movie at last set to premiere on June 1st: *Night Train to Munich* . This is a very exciting movie about WWII set during the war. It's British made. Margaret Lockwood, our friend from *The Lady Vanishes* , is once again fighting Nazis on a train, and so are our cricket fans from the same movie, Charters & Caldicott. This time, though, Rex Harrison is our hero and Paul Heinreid is our villain, and it's not directed by Hitch, but by a different master of cinema, Carol Reed. It's full of excitement, tense moments, spies, romance, and lots of humor. I hope everyone will tune in for it or DVR it if you're smart: Wed. June 1st (next week) at 9:45pm ET (6:45pm PT) Here's the imdb page for this amazing movie (which I can't make a hyperlink because the website no longer put up the formatting cheat sheet on the right side that tells me how) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032842/ (PS - I scheduled this movie in my TCM Programming Challenge Schedule a few times until they finally premiered it---- it works! So I hope you will all join the upcoming challenge to put a bid in for what you want to see on TCM.)

(The) Yearling

Quincy, Emmett- Jeremy Slate in TRUE GRIT (1969)

"Easy", eh? You have my brain spinning trying to guess.

I have to second Bogie in SABRINA. He is amazing in that part, completely believable, for once is allowed not to play "the tough guy" (well, he's tough, but not in the same way), and certainly is not the obvious choice.

Guinevere? Innocent? Naive perhaps, but I don't know. But it's true that anyone who is a good enough actor or actress can act their way out of not being a trained singer, since singing is mostly acting. As for Julie, well, here again, having never had a chance to see Julie as Guinevere, who knows, though she was supposed to have been awesome.

Isn't that funny about Gary Cooper -- yeah, to me, he's a good everyman but not attractive, and yet he was a notorious ladies man. WHY?! Well, tastes change, I guess. William Powell does, I think, have so much personality and wit that it makes up for the fact that he's not an Adonis. But then most women appreciate a man that can make her laugh.

Johnson, Mrs - Olivia De Haviland in LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA

Yeah, Bad & the Beautiful does look like Wilder.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

I've seen classic looney toons on cartoon network, but not classic MGM cartoons. I've been watching my new Droopy DVD set also missing Cartoon Alley. How awesome it was.

Virginia Mayo was in A SONG IS BORN with the amazing Danny Kaye

Kismet

Camelot has a fantastic score, but if only Vanessa could sing. Just think how good Julie Andrews would have been. But Richard Harris is fantastic, I must say. I would also recommend the stage version done for TV in the '80s, also with Richard Harris.

"Gaslight" looks like Hitch but it's actually Cukor "My Fair Lady" looks like Minnelli but it's also Cukor "The Bad and the beautiful" does NOT look like Vincente Minnelli, though I don't know who exactly it looks like

You know you're addicted to TCM if .... ...you can do the entire "Singin' in the Rain" dance... and "Moses Supposes"... and "Good Morning"
