So why was the last minute cut out on the TCM version shown? I had not seen the movie before. Enjoyed it a lot. Why and who cut out the last minute you mention? A Hays Code mutilation of later years "for the public good"?
I have no idea as to why and who. The missing part would be of no interest whatsoever to the Hays office.

After many years of not being able to screen this movie,it finally appeared on TCM. An excellent story with wonderful acting by Barrymore, Hopkins, Tone and Erwin. There is one major problem with the print shown on TCM tonight. About 60 seconds at the very end is missing. It does not end on such a down note as seen on TCM tonight. I know ! I have the movie in my collection. I hope that if the Warner Archive plans to release a DVD of this movie,they will restore the missing footage. It is so much more uplifting.

They are happy when they are not harassed or murdered by ANY GROUP: whether that be Muslims, Communists,Christians, Fascists, Klu Klux Klan, Crusaders,Inquisitors,etc.

Jewish people are a very happy people when they are not harassed or at the worst murdered by people who call themselves Christians. The last two thousand years bear this out. Why did many Jewish actors change their names ? They didn't do it because they were ashamed of their heritage. They did it so they could work and be popular among those misguided souls out there who went to the movies.

I didn't buy his book each year they came out, but I agreed with his ratings almost 90% of the time.I was hoping there would be a third edition of his CLASSIC MOVIE GUIDE. Two films, I disagreed with him on were APACHE and the original, MY SISTER EILEEN.
-
Has this yearly reference guide come to an end ? The latest edition should have been posted by now;that being the films of 2013. Does anyone know what's going on ?
-
Yes, let's have Gary Cooper if in the mix would be DESIRE with Marlene Dietrich and NORTH WEST MOUNTED POLICE with Madeleine Carroll. I haven't seen those films in years and they are not available on DVD.
-
I wish Sony would release to cable or DVD , THE LONE WOLF RETURNS from 1935 with Melvyn Douglas. That would be a premiere.

Comcast in the bay area does not carry GETTV at the present time. Do you get a lot of commercial interruptions on GETTV ?
-
Well, Cary Grant was an ad man in MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE. And he and Myrna Loy had a maid (played by Louise Beavers). Only in the movies, right?
By the way, SKYLARK is coming up again on September 14th for those who missed it last night.
If your cable provider is Comcast, SKYLARK should be on On Demand for the next few days.

This is a post for those who appreciate trivia. No, I am not hijacking this thread. It all got started when the fact that Lauren Bacall had to keep her Jewish heritage a secret from director, Howard Hawks. Mr. Hawks had a malady called anti-semitism. Well,enough of that. On TCM today was THE OUTRAGE. Guess what the main players had in common.

I had never seen this movie . It was hidden, until tonight , in the Universal vault. Made by Paramount in 1941. It is a thoroughly delightful comedy played to perfection by an impeccable cast of Claudette Colbert, Ray Milland, Brian Aherne and Walter Abel. Anybody else out there have the same opinion ?
-
I guess my favorites are those coffee table studio histories listing their films in chronological order with comments on each fillm. The series started with MGM in the mid-70's and finished with Columbia around 1989. I also am very proud of my SCREEN WORLD collection. Of course, I have many books on James Cagney. My favorite being CAGNEY BY CAGNEY.

Here's another one. HELLO, DOLLY with Barbara Streisand and Walter Matthau. You know,it never fails. If you leave the cheese out, THEY WILL COME. And I don't mean a baseball team.
-
YES! Or if they were African American or Arabic or Oriental. Doesn't matter as it has nothing to do with the topic in the first place.
I would think a Jews would be more offended than me by the postings.
If you want to hijack a topic, start a new one.
I am quite sure Lauren Bacall wouldn't mind if she read it.
-
Is this really significant? I'm not Jewish, but I find this kind of offensive-in addition to the posts in reply to it.
Would you find it kind of offensive if we were talking about Irish actors ? I don't think so. You didn't have to tell me you're not Jewish. I knew it already.
-
We've stumbled upon an expert on who's Jewish. Too bad my late grandfather never got to meet you.
Here's a few more. HE RAN ALL THE WAY with John Garfield and Shelley Winters,SON OF ALI BABA with Tony Curtis,Piper Laurie,and Susan Cabot. There's 3 in that one. FORGET PARIS with Billy Crystal and Debra Winger. DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS with Richard Dreyfuss and Bette Midler. SCENES FROM A MALL with Woody Allen and Bette Midler. FUNNY LADY with Barbara Streisand and James Caan. Thanks for the compliment. That's what happens when you encourage me. I'll meet your grandfather up there someday.
-
Don't forget THE GOOD EARTH. Well perhaps one and half Jewish.
We can add on UP IN ARMS with Danny Kaye and Dinah Shore, BODY AND SOUL with John Garfield and Lili Palmer , SILVER DOLLAR with Edward G. Robinson and Aline Mac Mahon. Yes, Aline Mac Mahon was Jewish.

YMWAH is one of the few films with a male and female lead who are both Jewish. THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT is another..
Don't forget THE GOOD EARTH. Well perhaps one and half Jewish.

Yes,it's official. There will be a tribute to Lauren Bacall beginning on Sept. 15 and concluding on Sept. 16. The Jewish Experience on Film theme for Sept. 16 will go on as originally scheduled. Topbilled had it right.

Does anyone know why this movie is so unavailable? It would have been a perfect addition to TCM's September spotlight, The Jewish Experience on Film. I have never seen it on any cable channel or DVD.
-
Just don't bump SKYLARK, AN ACT OF MURDER, SWORD IN THE DESERT. Premieres from the vaults of Universal are hard to come by. I hope TCM is smart enough to pick a day when there are no premieres on the schedule.
-
Please TCM , DON'T change the September 16 schedule as it stands now. The Jewish Experience on Film is something I am looking forward to. Find another day for her well deserved tribute. As a person of Jewish heritage herself, I am sure Lauren Bacall would agree with me.

I would be most happy to do that. I thought my post was going to drift into thread oblivion. Glad to see there is someone out there who cares about completeness. I am going to use capital letters. I am not yelling; just want to make things clear.
TCM VERSION
MIRIAM HOPKINS AND FRANCHOT TONE MEET BY A FENCE OUT IN THE FIELD. FRANCHOT TONE TELLS MIRIAM HOPKINS HE IS GOING TO ACCEPT THE COLLEGE TEACHING JOB. MIRIAM HOPKINS IS SAD BUT UNDERSTANDS. FRANCHOT TONE SAYS,"GOODBYE....YOU'RE A GRAND GIRL". THEN WE SEE A CLOSE-UP OF A PLOW TILLING THE EARTH WITH THE WORDS THE END ON THE SCREEN.
THE COMPLETE VERSION

FRANCHOT TONE SAYS,"GOODBYE....YOU'RE A GRAND GIRL". STU ERWIN ATOP A HORSE APPEARS ON SCREEN AND YELLS TO MIRIAM HOPKINS,"COME ON BOSS, WE'RE STARTIN'". A SMILING MIRIAM HOPKINS STILL STANDING NEXT TO FRANCHOT TONE SAYS TO FRANCHOT TONE,"BOSS...HE MEANS ME". AS SHE WALKS AWAY FROM FRANCHOT TONE SHE WAVES GOODBYE AND RIDES OFF WITH STU ERWIN. SHE NOW HAS FULLY ACCEPTED HER NEW LIFE AS A FARMER AND COUNTRY GIRL. THEN , AS IN THE VERSION SHOWN ON TCM,WE SEE A CLOSE-UP OF A PLOW TILLING THE EARTH WITH THE WORDS THE END ON THE SCREEN.
I hope, not only you , but others who care about completeness will take note of what I have just written; especially the Warner Archive who might want to release this excellent film on DVD.
