The Girl of the Golden West is on TCM again at 9:45am ET today - and it's one that Walter Pidgeon fans shouldn't miss (if they haven't seen it already). *The Girl Of The Golden West* (1938) A frontierswoman shelters a notorious outlaw. Cast: Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Walter Pidgeon, Leo Carrillo Dir: Robert Z. Leonard BW-121 mins, TV-G

Last-minute heads-up - The Rains of Ranchipur starts in about an hour on FMC.

Despicable. That's a good example. It's one of my favorite musicals, but I don't particularly care for those stereotypes, either. What is sad is that people probably didn't see anything wrong with that back in the 50s.

Arturo, Thank you for your kind comments. I have to say I'm sure you're absolutely right, and I think that audiences in the 50s would indeed have liked to see this cast in a magnificent widescreen western, very very much. Perhaps I should have been more precise in saying exactly why I think the movie is not as highly regarded today as perhaps it should be - I certainly enjoyed it quite a bit.

Looks like my favorite trilogy of spaghetti westerns is finally coming out in a blu-ray set - just read this in the digitalbits.com website: Fox and MGM are officially releasing *The Man with No Name Trilogy* on Blu-ray Disc here in the States on 6/1 (SRP $69.99). The 3-disc set will include *A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More* and the previously released *The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly*. Most (if not all) the extras from the previous DVD editions will likely be included. Scroll down for a look at the cover art.

Fun facts about Brian Keith ("Tight Spot"): * Birth name: Robert Keith Richey Jr. * Best remembered on TV for his starring role as Uncle Bill Davis on "Family Affair" (1966). * Shortly before future "Family Affair" (1966) co-star, Johnny Whitaker, co-starred with him, he appeared in the movie *The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming* (1966), where Keith was so impressed by Johnny's acting that he invited him to co-star in Keith's new sitcom, the same year.

The schedule for tonight includes Hawks' To Have and Have Not as one of the films that will be introduced by Guest Programmer Raquel Welch. For those who will be up late tonight / early Friday morning, the 2:15am ET showing of To Have and Have Not will be followed by a special about Howard Hawks: *The Men Who Made the Movies: Howard Hawks* (1973) 4:15am ET Film clips and an exclusive interview capture the career of Hollywood's most efficient director of Westerns and screwball comedies. Cast: Cary Grant, John Wayne, Howard Hawks Dir: Richard Schickel BW-55 mins, TV-PG

Any time!

I am still trying to figure out how there could be more than one way to say "Chico" in English. As far as I know there's only one way to say "chico" in Spanish.

Oh, you're welcome. I really recommend this movie, which I saw for the first time about a year ago at a film noir festival. Right away, I thought it was one of the better "forgotten" noirs I had ever seen, and really started hoping it would be released on DVD at some point in the future. It's a funny thing, because this was a Warner Bros. release, theatrically, but I guess Warner doesn't own the rights to it any more. I take it you have never seen it?

Well, she's very good in this movie, playing I believe Broderick Crawford's daughter.

This great noir is finally coming out on video! From classicflix: VCI has set a June 29th release date for *New York Confidential* (1955). The much sought after noir stars Broderick Crawford, Richard Conte, Marilyn Maxwell, Anne Bancroft and J. Carrol Naish. It will be presented in its original aspect ratio (1.85:1) and comes with plenty of bonus features. The kill-or-be-killed world of organized crime is the focus of this hard-hitting expose from the Oscar-nominated writing team of Russell Rouse and Clarence Greene. Broderick Crawford is the NYC mob boss dealing out death as the answer to every crisis--from a minor member of his own syndicate, to a Washington lobbyist, to his own hired killers! BONUS FEATURES: * Narrative commentary by Alan Rode * Tough Customers: Crawford, Conte, Naish, Mazurki: Narrative with stills/clips about this quartet of legendary noir baddies * Anne Bancroft, Unlikely Femme Fatale: Chronological narrative with stills on the early part of her film career as a femme fatale sexpot * Feature on Russell Rouse, producer, director, writer, of D.O.A., The Thief, The Well, NYC, and Wicked Woman. * Original Theatrical Trailer

Anyone watching The First Traveling Saleslady on TCM this morning has already caught that very early appearance by Clint Eastwood (as Carol Channing's love interest) but if anyone didn't watch, no worries, the movie is showing again on the day of Clint's birthday tribute.

I hadn't heard that story - but it sounds a lot like Ford. Well, it may not be his finest movie, but I'm glad TCM still shows it from time to time.

Oh, I already forgot which ones they have for June - I'll better take another look at that schedule.

Yes, and at least they're supposedly showing the letterboxed edition.
