And for those who aren't fortunate enough to live near the Film Forum, don't forget that GG will be with us on TCM in the next few days.
The Big Heat airs on TCM at 3:30pm ET on May 29, followed by Human Desire at 8:30am ET on June 8 (followed by an encore presentation of The Big Heat, too!)
With GG coming to the FF in NYC and getting her day of SUTS in August, it's looking like a great time of the year for GG fans everywhere!!

I was looking for a Joel McCrea thread but couldn't find any. Hope there are some Joel McCrea fans among the TCM viewers who frequent the board. I've admired him ever since watching him in Sullivan's Travels and some other Sturges movies.
If anyone's interested, Fox Movie Channel is showing one of his 30s movies this Wednesday, Three Blind Mice (1938), which also stars Loretta Young and David Niven.
The next Joel McCrea movies airing on TCM will be Dead End and These Three, both on June 6th.

Nina, glad to see you here!
I think you're absolutely right - a version of Brigadoon set in Scotland would be very appealing to me, too. But I wonder who they'd cast in it.

> I love Two Lane Blacktop, as well. It, too, seems like a 'journey with no end' movie, a road movie with no starting off point and no destination.
It definitely seems like a thematic continuation of sorts to the themes that Monte started to explore in the earlier films. I understand it's also kind of an acquired taste, some people just don't like that kind of film narrative.
As it happens, I do enjoy movies that make you think.

I take it you're also a Veronica Lake fan?
I am hoping to watch Ramrod soon, as well. -

I just started recording it, though I won't be able to watch all of it tonight. Did you watch the intro with the special guest? What did you think?

> Interesting, Holly, but this is not the Noir Forum.
I am aware that this isn't the noir forum, Bronxie. That didn't stop you, April, Wendy, Scott and others from engaging in a very long discussion in this very thread about Guest in the House, which is _also_ a film noir. The fact that this isn't the Silent Forum didn't mean that you couldn't post a photo of Louise Brooks and mention Pandora's Box to Scott, if I remember correctly.
Furthermore, the point of my post (in case you missed it) wasn't what kind of movie I'd just seen Louis Hayward in, but simply the fact that I'd just seen a performance by him that really changed my impression about him.
This is the 2nd time today that I have felt attacked personally by you with criticism of posts that, as far as I can see, were on-topic and completely respectful. I respectfully ask that you do not turn other people's threads into fight threads due to any possible personal dislikes that you may (or may not) have.
Thank you.

Bronxie, with all due respect, what _ever_ gave you the impression that watching a movie like The Screaming Skull would seem frivolous to me? As it happens, I just got back from Dewey's noir fest, where the main attraction was Women in the Night, a movie that would probably give any schlocky film a run for its money. Not only that, but it's a very patriotic movie to watch on Memorial Day, too, as Dewey himself mentioned as he presented the film to the audience.
> You see, horror film fans are patriots, too.
Again, with all due respect, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't speak for me. I'm a horror film fan, too, and just because I haven't had time to watch more horror flicks lately doesn't mean I need any other fans of the genre to speak for me.
While I didn't have time to watch it today, I really do want to start catching up with this and other horror movies, and I appreciate it very much that Rich is so nice to post this stuff for all of us.
Thank you for your understanding,
Holly

*Rare Audrey Hepburn stamp goes to auction*
By RACHEL NOLAN, Associated Press Writer
Mon May 25, 7:49 am ET
BERLIN ? A collector stands to make a tidy profit after discovering a rare stamp portraying movie star Audrey Hepburn smoking ? one of a series that should have been incinerated by the German government.
In 2001, the government printed 14 million Audrey Hepburn stamps as part of a series featuring movie stars including Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo. The print run was destroyed after Hepburn's son, Sean Ferrer, objected to the cigarette holder dangling from the actress' mouth and refused to grant copyright.
But the Finance Ministry had already delivered advance copies of the Hepburn stamps to Deutsche Post for approval. Thirty of these proof copies escaped destruction when an unknown employee pocketed them and used them to send letters postmarked from Berlin.
A minimum bid of ?30,000 (US$41,959) has been set for the stamp ? of which only five copies are known to exist ? at its auction Tuesday at Berlin's Kempinski Hotel Bristol.
"We can only guess that whoever took the Hepburn stamps from Deutsche Post didn't realize their value, thought they would save 55 cents and just used them on normal letters," auctioneer Andreas Schlegel told The Associated Press.
The latest find is the fifth Hepburn stamp to surface since 2004. Schlegel said the rest probably ended up where most stamps do: in the trash can.
One of the four other Hepburn stamps fetched ?53,000 at an auction in Duesseldorf in 2005.
Ferrer said he hoped the collector would use proceeds from the auction to support cancer research or anti-smoking campaigns. His movie star mother died of colon cancer in 1993.
The collector has received so many sheets of stamps as presents that he can't pinpoint where the Hepburn stamp came from, and prefers to remain anonymous.
"He's worried that if his picture is printed in the newspaper his friends will come to him and say, 'hey, you got that stamp from me,'" Schlegel said.
