One more that has not been mentioned yet. *Carole Lombard* was born in Fort Wayne Indiana.
-
Since there was a recent thread about his *Buster Keaton* is from Kansas which I am pretty sure is part of the Midwest.
-
Well not exactly a movie but since I just started watching the new Doctor Who episode I was reminded of this thread.
Anyways the Doctor (classic and contemporary) is probably my favorite time traveler. Although he travels through space and time.

I don't usually like to get involved in debates of this kind but I just want to say I agree about same-sex marriage *jamesjazzguitar*. In fact I have yet to hear a good argument of why same-sex marriage should not be allowed. People say marriage is between a man & a woman but even if that is the case who says institutions cannot change?
Who would be hurt if same-sex marriages were allowed? Would the world come to an end? Would the sun decide not to rise? I just don't understand what the problem is.
I also don't believe marriage is only something belonging to the judeo-christian religion since many different faiths have the institution of marriage. And I don't see atheists and agnostics banned from being married.

Viven Leigh!
Just kidding, just kidding!
Anyways how about *Miriam Hopkins* she was from Georgia.
edit: Just realized I missed an "i" in Vivien's name woops.

Thanks for the recommendations
I also have TCM E-mailing me reminders when they are playing They Live By Night when they air it this month.

Hmm I am not sure if I am a Ray fan. I've actually only seen two of his films so far: Rebel without a Cause which I didn't really care for & In a Lonely Place which I really liked. However I definitely am a James Mason fan.
-
Not yet but I do have it in my Netflix queue. Unfortunately there is a "very long wait" next to it.
-
Well that would be awesome *Finance* because yes I do think it's a shame that a city as big as Phila does not have more classic film events.
I know occasionally the Philadelphia Film Society screens something (although I always seem to hear about it after the fact) but it would be nice if more things happened here. I am sure there would be a lot of interest. Well I know I would come and I would drag some of my RL friends with me.
-
Because I just saw the film you are talking about recently, the fight scene is in Vivacious Lady. This is the film she starred in with Jimmy Stewart.

> Buster Keaton is not funny...but you think ZaSu Pitts is? Of course, I realize this thread was started on April Fools Day, so I take it with the humor it was probably intended.
Ha Ha I didn't even realize that, the April 1st thing I mean. Because how could anyone think Buster Keaton is not funny? (and I know humor is very subjective).

Nice to find another classic film fan from Phila.
I have not gone to any screenings in NY but I have thought about it from time to time. Although it's not super expensive I always think of it as an extra expense I should not be spending right now. But it might be a cool idea for a bunch of us on the east coast to meet up at a classic film event in NY one of these days.

He isn't? I wonder what is making me laugh when I watch his movies. Well you got me!
-
*Frank Grimes* I enjoyed a lot of those too as a little kid and I'm a little girl.
Speaking of *Muppet Babies* that was the show where I first learned about the African Queen. Scooter and Piggy imagined they were Bogart & Hepburn on the African Queen.
Do cartoons today make any references to classic films? I wonder!

> I also watched the Match Game clip with "Cooko, Fran and Ollie". I know that woman must have been embarrassed but seeing everybody else so cracked up was a hoot. Keep them coming!
I bet that woman didn't realize at the time that something like youtube would be around now to preserve her embarrassing moment for generations to come.
As for Soaps I used to be a pretty big fan of Days of Our Lives in the 90's, something I can't say I am very proud of. I remember I watched until my favorite couple (Hope & Bo) got married. Once that was done I decided I better stop watching before they break up again & the whole vicious cycle starts over again.
-
Yes totally, well now if they do decide to screen some classic films in Phila at least they will have two people who will come.
-
That would have been nice because I live there
But I feel Philadelphia is always overlooked on the classic film screening front.
-
I like Ginger Rogers, don't get me wrong but all I could think watching this film was this performance beat Hepburn in Philadelphia Story and Davis in The Letter?
The film wasn't bad (I liked the ending a lot) but I can't say it's a favorite. And I know it's a product of its time but the whole "I am free, white, and 21" still makes me cringe and I have to laugh that Ginger's character staked her independence by not wanting to go to school.
It is interesting that both this film and Philadelphia Story came out the same year & they are both about the same society of people from that area. Just the difference in the genre. Although I think Philadelphia Story definitely stands up better today.
-
A great film and my favorite of his "Capracorn" works (to separate from saying my favorite Capra work). Both Jimmy & Jean are excellent.

> I liked *Kukla, Fran and Ollie*, this was the later version, and mainly for the children's film festival that was part of their show. I think it also aired as the *CBS Children's Film Festival*, and it was all international short films dealing with children.
I never got the chance to see Kukla Fran and Ollie but it reminds me of a hilarious Match Game moment (everything comes down to Match Game).
A contestant in the bonus round was giving the term Cuckoo ____________. All she had to do was give a word to fill in the blank and match the celebrity. What does she say? Just watch the clip to find out.

So yeah thanks to Match Game I am now familiar with Kukla Fran and Ollie (even though the contestant was completely confused over the name).
-
Oh it really was, I had no idea what to expect going in since this was my first late Kurosawa (and as a Russian production it was also very different). Now I would say it was one of my favorite Kurosawa films. I loved the friendship between Dersu & the Russian Captain and the way Kurosawa captured the outside scenery was breathtaking.
Ran & Kagemusha will have to wait for another time but I think Dersu Uzula was a great way to end my Kurosawa TCM fest.
-
So sad it's already over. It was a fantastic tribute.
Anyways I will definitely be watching *Dersu Uzala* tonight and will try to sit through *Kagemusha* as well. If I can't sit through two long films, Kagemusha is at the top of my Netflix queue.
*Ran* as I said in other threads I am saving for after I finally read King Lear.

Thanks so much for posting the schedule!
Ooh Thursday June 10th at 8:00 PM *Les Diaboliques* is coming on. I am always impressed when GSN plays foreign films at times other than after Midnight and this is such an excellent film. It's like a French Hitchcock film.
Anyways I am going to look at it as my birthday present from TCM (my birthday is actually on the 9th but close enough).

I am pretty sure he did return home but she got pregnant from their one night stand & did not want to tell him about it.
And yeah I guess there has to be some suspension of disbelief that he would not remember her but he really was not with her for very long and she probably just represented one of many girls for him. Basically he couldn't place that one girl. A good number of years had passed at that point.

The Marx Brothers hailed from NYC.
Also from the list of Pennsylvanians add Jimmy Stewart
edit:- A few more; Bogart & Bacall were both born in NYC and so was James Cagney.
