Wasn't it _John Lithgow_ who introduced To Have and Have Not this Sunday?

Yes, it's "Dick Tracy"

Knute Rockne, All American

Is there any director more closely associated with the exploration of social consciousness in the movies than Elia Kazan? (At least here in America). I can't think of one. In any event, I am looking forward to tonight's schedule on TCM, mostly because of the Elia Kazan documentary, which I've never seen before. The movies that follow are pretty good, too. *_PRIME TIME SCHEDULE FOR MONDAY, JUNE 15_* *Elia Kazan: A Director's Journey* (1995) 8pm ET Documentary on the life and work of the Academy award-winning and controversial director Elia Kazan. BW-76 mins, TV-PG *On The Waterfront* (1954) 9:30pm ET A young stevedore takes on the mobster who rules the docks. Cast: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger Dir: Elia Kazan BW-108 mins, TV-PG *East Of Eden* (1955) 11:30pm ET Two brothers compete for their father's approval and a woman's love.

Cast: Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, Anthony Franciosa, Walter Matthau Dir: Elia Kazan BW-126 mins, TV-PG Marlon Brando in "On the Waterfront"

Seems more of a noir title to me, personally, but I guess some folks may also consider it a cult item.

*Unfortunately I don?t get FMC (complain complain complain ? at least it?s a lot better than not having TCM). Fortunately I have the DVD, so it?s all good.* I did record it, and will be watching it later.

Oh, I almost forgot: How about Robert DeNiro in Goodfellas and/or Raging Bull ?

Maybe also Edward G. Robinson in Little Caesar or Lawrence Tierney in The Hoodlum. And Lee Marvin in The Dirty Dozen and Burt Lancaster in Sweet Smell of Success...

Valley of the Dolls and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Or The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Shock Treatment.

Great choices, MissMusical (I especially like your choice for the 60s)

She was very talented, and very bright, as well. A truly wonderful star of the Golden Age. Oh, and welcome to the forums!

It sounds to me they'll come complete with everything but an actual yellow brick... On other news, here is some new info I couldn't find here in this thread (using the search function): *Warner brings unreleased Karloff and Lugosi classics to DVD* Warner Home Video has just sent over information about four cool classic horror films to be released on DVD for the very first time, starring the cult icons Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Arriving as a 2-disc DVD set, these films will be available in October. *The Walking Dead* is a unique blend of cinematic horror and the classic Warner Bros. gangster stylings. This long-admired cult favorite stars Boris Karloff, who gives an outstanding performance as John Ellman, an ex-con framed for murder who?s sentenced to the electric chair. When Ellman is brought back to life through the miracles of science, his only task is to seek revenge against those responsible for his death. Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) directs this eerie tale. As an extra, this release will contain a Commentary Track by historian Greg Mank. Then there is the 1958 film *Frankenstein-1970*. Nearly twenty years after his final appearance as the Frankenstein monster in Son of Frankenstein, Boris Karloff returned to the screen in a new film derived from the Mary Shelley story that first catapulted him to stardom. In this 1958 horror classic, Karloff appears in the role of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a descendent of the original doctor, whose depleted fortune forces him to grant a film crew access to the family castle to shoot a horror flick. It?s not all bad, though, since he now has a supply of fresh body parts ready for harvesting. This film will be accompanied by a Commentary Track by historians Charlotte Austin and Tom Weaver. *You?ll Find Out* is also on the list, featuring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Peter Lorre as they poke fun at their horror-genre personas in this wacky 1940 RKO mix of music, murder and mirth. The plot finds the trio of horror legends leaving a trail of terror and laughs along the way, as they plan a murder in order to nab a young heiress? inheritance in a spooky, spoofy haunted house tale. The film was one of several hits of the era featuring the music and merriment of the then popular Kay Kyser and his band. The film?s original song, ?I?d Know You Anywhere? was Oscar? nominated. The releases will be rounded out by *Zombies on Broadway* in which the emphasis is equally spread between horror and hi-jinx in this wacky RKO production that has endeared itself to generations of die-hard Lugosi fans. Here, Bela Lugosi stars as mad scientist Dr. Paul Renault who ends up with more than he bargained for when he encounters two inept Broadway press agents (Alan Carney and Wally Brown) looking for a real-life zombie to use for a publicity stunt in promoting a new nightclub. The *Karloff & Lugosi Horror Classics* will arrive in stores on October 6 for only $26.98.

Speaking of the TCM Film Union, there have been some very interesting blog posts there recently, including a few from our very own Lynn (lzcutter) which are extremely interesting to read. I highly recommend them!

He looks so _good_ in that tan vest! :x
