That sounds very exciting, Eve! I haven't had a chance to watch my recording of that one yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
By the way, TCM is going to be showing Minnelli's Yolanda and the Thief next week, in case anyone's interested. I think it's one of his most original and beguiling musicals, even though it was somewhat of a disappointment with audiences in the 40's.

So sorry, don't mean to interrupt any discussions about frozen ropes (which I'm sure must come in handy!
) but I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up, especially to fans of Jayne Mansfield or Dan Duryea, or anyone who likes a good noir - Dewey picked a really great movie to show today at his noir festival called The Burglar (1957), which has elements of the French New Wave and features sensational performances from both Mansfield and Duryea, and great black-and-white photography.It's from Columbia, so there's always a chance it may yet show up on TCM or even make its way to DVD. It really is worth watching; I'll post more about it in the Noir forum later.

I don't think they had to look very hard - maybe just take a quick look at the list of Criterion titles available on DVD.

Oh, good. I was starting to think we might have something to worry about.

It would be nice to see a 60th anniversary edition in 2012, or even earlier if they could work out the rights issues, but, as you suggest, I'm not holding my breath...

He most definitely did! It helped that he was so very agile and athletic and able to do so many of his stunts.

Dewey,
If you have any contacts at Sony Pictures, perhaps you could persuade them to release The Burglar on one of their upcoming DVD sets. Watched that today and was really blown away! So were many others. You have made many noir fans _extremely happy_ with your selections!!
(I'll post more about The Burglar on the other thread - just couldn't help mentioning it briefly here, since it was a Columbia noir).

I don't know if they've started airing it yet, but TCM's new promo for its June theme ("Great Directors") seemed very exciting to me - you can watch it on the TCM Media Room:

For anyone interested in watching Tierney's excellent performance in The Hoodlum -

It was great to see The Hoodlum in full 35mm glory. But don't get me wrong, all the ones being shown on 16mm also look great. A friend of mine was commenting the other day, in regards to all the noirs being shown at the Roxie, how even 16mm looks so much better than anything you can get in a home video format, even when it's an official studio release!
Even with its short running time, The Hoodlum packs a wallop, and it's fascinating to see Lawrence Tierney acting alongside his real-life brother, Edward, playing his brother. The whole movie is told in flashback, but you almost forget you've been watching a flashback until near the end, when the title character's actions start to really catch up with him with a vengeance. And wasn't Lisa Golm absolutely wonderful as the brothers' mother?
Watching New York Confidential was also a blast; why this movie seems to have been largely forgotten is beyond me. I see on imdb that it was originally released theatrically by Warner Bros.; wonder if they still own the rights? But the cast is simply awesome, led by the great Broderick Crawford, with Richard Conte (17 years before being cast in The Godfather as another New York mobster, Don Barzini), a very young and lovely Anne Bancroft, and the great supporting player J. Carrol Naish.

I really like the "Buy Extra Bonds" poster, with stars from all different studios coming together for the war effort. Anyone know who the actor is between Robert Taylor and Robert Montgomery?

Young, Robert

Jarre, Maurice - composer, Lawrence of Arabia

Those posters are really great. The Big Parade must have been _the_ movie event of 1925....
