Hi shaydeelady, welcome to the forums!
The name of Herbert Marshall has only recently begun to really sink in, I confess, and I probably didn't notice him all that much before. However, I definitely took notice of him last time I watched William Wyler's The Letter and enjoyed his performance very much.

That's more or less what I figured, bOb, I guess if I don't set my expectations too high, it might not be such a bad deal. I may yet decide to try it out for a couple of months or so.

A lot of new groups have been added recently. I requested a Gloria Grahame group a while back and thought they'd forgotten, but they didn't!

Did anyone watch Popi with Alan Arkin?
I love Arkin in just about everything, whether it's drama or comedy - but I don't think he was at all convincing playing a Puerto Rican.
Having said that, it's a pretty interesting movie, with a fairly original premise and - like Chon Noriega said - there were really pretty few movies at the time that dealt with Latinos that weren't basically gang movies. Rita Moreno is great, although of course her part is unfortunately very small. She really could have given the movie more authenticity with a slightly bigger role. The kids, of course, were great.

It's a great revisionist Western. I'll be writing about it in a bit more detail in the Westerns forum (the thread with all LIF-related Westerns) but I think it's one of the best "recent" movies TCM has shown in a long time.
As a bit of trivia, it was also interesting to see two actors from Blade Runner together again (Edward James Olmos and Brion James).
P.S. Did anyone else catch Ned Beatty's cameo near the end?

It takes about two minutes to set up your own message board at yuku.com - it may not be the best-looking messageboard in the world, but it should be enough to help fans get by until the SSO and this forum are back to normal.

Bomba the Jungle Boy is a Monogram title, and TCM has played Monogram movies before, so I'm sure they should be able to get the rights to it, if there are good prints available.

The last day of Sean Connery's turn as SOTM is dedicated to his 70s movies; it's too bad they couldn't get the rights to The Man Who Would be King, but it's still a pretty good lineup.

Thought I'd bump this thread back to the top, since the movie is being shown again today on TCM. This is really a pretty good Paul Henreid performance, and the movie has a very nice twist at the end (one could almost call it poetic justice).
-
Mind? No, of course not. I'm glad you mentioned it. I don't get that channel right now, but I've been considering getting it in the near future. They seem to show some interesting Westerns there.
Thanks for mentioning it!

But Minnelli also directed a lot of movies that were commercially successful, like Meet Me in St. Louis (at least I think it was a box-office hit at the time!).
