> Interesting to see Rex Harrison as Adolphus Cusins in G.B.Shaw's "Major Barbara" with Stanley Holloway as the policeman who escorts Rex across the street when he first sees Barbara in 1941 and 23 years later we have Rex as Professor Henry Higgens in G.B.Shaw's "Pygmalion" {My Fair Lady} to Stanley Holloway's Alfred Doolittle.....
Yes, the world of British actors was a small world, indeed.

Fun facts about Sophia Loren:
* Birth name: Sofia Villani Scicolone
* Her adopted surname is a slight variation of "Toren" after the Swedish actress M?rta Tor?n.
* At times, male actors have been hesitant to appear with her, due to the fact that she stands nearly 5' 9" and wears towering heels and tall hair that can make her look over 6 feet tall.

I forgot to mention this morning, Criterion's July releases also include a double feature of early films by Ozu, The Only Son and There Was a Father:

*Peter Haskell, prolific actor who starred in TV's 'Bracken's World,' dies at 75*
April 15, 2010
Peter Haskell, 75, a prolific stage, screen and TV actor who starred in the behind-the-scenes Hollywood TV series "Bracken's World," died Monday in his sleep at his home in Northridge, said his daughter, Audra.
Born Oct. 15, 1934, in Boston, Haskell began acting while studying for a degree in literature at Harvard. He appeared on stage in Boston, New York and Canada in the 1960s and won his first TV role in "Death Valley Days" in 1964.
Dozens of TV appearances followed on series including "Ben Casey," "Combat!," "Lassie," "The Big Valley," "Mannix," "Medical Center," "Barnaby Jones," "Vega$," "Murder, She Wrote," "Matlock" and the 2009 series finale of "ER."
Haskell played writer-producer Kevin Grant on "Bracken's World," a melodramatic backstage look at the film industry that ran on NBC in 1969 and '70. And he had a stint on daytime TV in the early 1980s on the ABC soap "Ryan's Hope."
He also appeared in two "Child's Play" horror films in the '90s and was active in theater in Los Angeles.
His first marriage to Ann Compton ended in divorce. In 1974 he married Dianne "Crickett" Tolmich. They had two children, Audra and Jason.

Yes of course that press release should have been more carefully written (or edited).

I knew it had to be a special event, or something like that.
And I agree with you hamradio, it would have been nice to have Heaven Can Wait in there too, probably not for lack of trying on TCM's part, but it's a Fox title...

I woke up from my nap thinking it was Friday already... I was ready to watch Lt. Frank Dreblin and then I remembered it was only Thursday.
Oh well, what's another 24 hours?

That is one take on the movie that would have never occurred to me, but I like it!
