Anyone else see that 39 Steps on Masterpiece Theater? I enjoyed it personally, mostly because it was so different than the Hitchcock classic, so it really was it's own thing.

Irritating actors, eh? That's pretty easy:
Classic:
Lana Turner
Hedy Lamarr
Everyone in every film by Ed Wood
Then there are a lot of other people I forgot
Modern day: most of them

I'll take a stab. At first I thought "The SIdewalks on New York" but 1943-- "Bicycle Built For Two"?

I completely agree and I think it is partly because of all the technology (there are so many ways to watch things that bad things aren't being forced out becuase of space and time) and because of the poor education in schools (people aren't learning what good writing/theater/TV/Cinema is anymore)

I just finished watching Follow the Fleet on DVR, from t'other day, and I adore it as well. The subplot can shut up, but Fred and Ginger are amazing.

That is a shame. I love Jerry Lewis, I must say, so I'm surprised myself.
And "Maybe they are being shown on TCM France" made me laugh, Scottman. Thanks.

Wish there could have been a whole movie with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly dancing together, rather than just that one segment. Some awesome buddy musical with lots of duets. Another film I would like to have seen would be Lucile Ball and Carol Burnett. Imagine the comedy. Oh the laughter.
There are a bunch of people who only made one movie together but who did such a great job that I wish they had done more films. The first example I can think of is Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. They were so great together in White Christmas. Tis a pity they did not get to make more films together. On that film, Bing and Rosemary Clooney were a good pair. Too bad they didn't make more films either.

No, because I'm incredibly careful about what I go see in a movie theater. But there are many movies I've turned off half-way through.

I also love You Can't Take it With You and hate Jezebel, so it's us against the world, finance

I caught this on TCM a while back and have been waiting for it again. Great movie. Especially crazy to see how much the whole city was bombed just yards away from the miraculously untouched cathedral. Amazing how close we came to losing that awesome cathedral forever. How I love that place.

I think I still do prefer the old 39 Steps too, like, as you said, an old sweater. I love that whole section about the life of a criminal that Robert Donat's character is making up. That is hilarious to me.
The stage version has come around here, but at a time when I was broke, alas, so I didn't get to see it. I wanted to though. Sounds like so much fun.
