ON GOLDEN POND with Henry Fonda. THE SHOOTIST with John Wayne. His greatest performance.

And let me also add Francis Lederer and Joan Bennett in PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS about a delightful custom in colonial times.

Yes, I know. I have them both, Not everybody can afford to be a collector and it would be nice for them to see these rare titles on TCM. While I am here posting, let me mention another marvelous little Paramount film that no one has mentioned yet. If you love dog stories, then THE BISCUIT EATER is for you.

AMONG THE LIVING , I saw about 20 years ago at a theater that loved to show old films. SALTY O'ROURKE might have problems with the estate of Damon Runyon. A MEDAL FOR BENNY might have problems with the estate of John Steinbeck.

And 2 Paramount silent classics: BEGGARS OF LIFE UNDERWORLD

There are 3 films from Paramount that I would like to see on TCM : AMONG THE LIVING A MEDAL FOR BENNY SALTY O'ROURKE

That's the problem with the alternate ending. It's funny.

Would love to see her in an early very noticeable role she had in a very good second feature titled AMONG THE LIVING from Paramount in 1941.

It's not just her early films at Fox such as WILD GIRL (1932). There is Paramount's THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS (1934) and Columbia's SHE COULDN'T TAKE IT (1935).

Thanks.

Saw it this morning on On Demand. Not as bad as the dealer print I had for years..

I LOVE TROUBLE and WHISTLE AT EATON FALLS. I always wanted to see these films in better than the poor quality that dealers have had for years. It looks like I blew the opportunity. I hope they will show these films again in the next few months.

The best of the 4 that I listed is A MEDAL FOR BENNY. A standout film with a great performance by J.Carrol Naish . Arturo de Cordova and Dorothy Lamour are also in the cast. John Steinbeck was involved in the production and that may be what is holding up its viewing these days. It was shown on cable years ago.
