Why?

> {quote:title=cujas wrote:}{quote} > Just saw the VHS--of "Death Takes A Holiday". The whole premise hinges on March's superb characterization. Has anybody else seen it and want to discuss it? I feel the movie depends solely on his performance. The basic concept is compelling but the script carries little tension and the plot is tiny. There is nothing for the movie to fall back on as a redeeming feature if the lead role is not handled superbly. Curiosity and indecision by an obviously powerful character must be very difficult to play. It would be very easy to go too far and make him wimp or to accentuate his natural power too much. I believe this is Fredric March's greatest role. I do not think any other actor could have done it so well.

> {quote:title=finance wrote:}{quote} > You could say he won at the end of CASABLANCA. (Louie, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship). I very much feel his ending is ambivalent. He neither fell nor won greatly. I love his role because I can forgive his sins because he is so charming. What I really wish I could see is one of his consumate evil personifications succeed. I can imagine his wicked smile and the fire in his eyes.

> {quote:title=Arturo wrote:}{quote} > I always thought he won at the end of MR. SKEFFINGTON. His performance was excellent as one expects of him but he was not playing a bad boy. He was misunderstood and a victim rather than a persecutor. It has been many years since I have seen it but I do not remember in it his chortle which thrills me.

It was this thread which led me to idea. You might use that as leverage to receive kickbacks on the psych meds I am going to need after doing this entry.

> {quote:title=misswonderly wrote:}{quote} > What an original idea -I bet you're the only one doing the challenge who's got that in their program ! I believe I will be only one with this in my schedule because all others who often enter seem to have more sense. I know a person must be a little unhinged to even try to make a schedule but they are not this crazy.

He is Jewish so she is learning to cook Kosher. I am glad they no longer weigh you before boarding airplane. I am sure I gained a great deal. I did miss movies while there but only when I was tired from trying to keep up with her and wanted quiet moment to relax. I hope you also had enjoyable time with your mother.

It was bloody-mindedness which carried me through because so many versions almost but not quite fit. I have read that TCM sometimes uses ideas from Programming Challenges. I do not think they will steal this one.

That reminds me of kind-hearted student who could not bring herself to dissect frog in biology class so she edged over to the side of the room and cracked open the window and let her frog jump through to freedom. It was done with good intentions but might have been nicer if biology lab had not been on the third floor.

> {quote:title=LonesomePolecat wrote:}{quote} > But I didn't understand -- where was your fashion challenge? Thank you for your kind words. My fashion theme was Wednesday evening. *Queen for a Day* Royal Robes are the Highest Fashion I often have an impression that a Queen walking down an aisle is much like a model on a runway but for a Queen there is no competition because none can come close to her grace and refinement. She also has the best seamstresses in the kingdom so that helps. Theme of 'day' was by accident. I could not think of anything at all. Capuchin told me to not worry about week-long theme and to do just one day at a time. He is devious imp so I always look for double meaning to his words. I looked up actors with name of 'Day' and saw Josette Day and Alice Day did not have enough movies to make a whole day so I went with Day of Days with one movie each for many actors. I can not say at what point I knew I would have Laraine Day as Star of the Month or that whole week would be of 'day' themes. Ah! I was about to post when I see your schedule is up! I live very much your chosing *Yojimbo* and *Goodbye, Charlie* from 1961. Tuesday morning is excellent! It is funny to see *The Court Jester* following *The Adventures of Robin Hood* Dean Martin is a wonderful Star of the Month. There are many movies there I love. I am glad to see Doris Day is not to be neglected in schedules. I felt uneasy ignoring her in mine. We chose different versions of *Heaven Can Wait* title. There has been so little activity on this thread that I was hoping others would forget about it. Now I see there is going to be very stiff competition!

I was able to fit a 20th Century Vole movie into my TCM Programming Challenge #17 entry. Monday October 10 Some Days it is Just One Thing After Another All Day Long 20th Century Vole Special Presentation: *Judge Hardy's Children Of Paradise For Three Little Pirates Of The Prairie Thunder in the City Without Men Of The Fighting Lady Of Vengeance of the Zombies On Broadway Ladies They Talk About Face of a Fugitive in the Sky Murder on a Honeymoon* (M-Mmm-Good) All Star Cast. Directors: Seitz, Carne, et al. 20th Century Vole, 1439 mins. http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?threadID=156104&tstart=0 Thank you for giving me idea to fill a day!

I would think dating a vampire would be good experience for a girl. It is greatly romantic and he is not interested in anything physical below the neck.

SansFins' Challenge Schedule Program Notes *Beauty And The Beast* (1946) I had never heard of Josette Day before TCM showed this movie. She is captivating. *Knight Without Armour* (1937) A wonderful Marlene Dietrich movie. Some Days it is Just One Thing After Another All Day Long In Hot Topics forum is a thread for people to put together unrelated movie titles and create fanciful descriptions of resulting movie. It is great fun to read. I can not think of witty descriptions but with database I can string together many titles. I like this string because it ends with *Murder on a Honeymoon* (1935) with great pairing of Edna May Oliver and James Gleason. I do not think FrankGrimes would ever forgive me if I made a schedule without *Scarlet Street* (1945). *The Snow Queen* (1957) is a wonderful and endearing movie. Laraine Day worked with all the top male stars of her day. It is time she was honored. Premieres: *First Knight* *Three Little Pirates* *Thunder in the City* *City Without Men* *Lady Of Vengeance* *The Virgin Queen* *Quintet* *Heaven Can Wait* *Our Miss Brooks* *My Friend Irma* *The Snow Queen* is my selection for a movie outside the normal libraries.

I love Claude Rains in *The Unsuspected* (1947). He is so deliciously evil. I wish there was a movie in which he wins at the end. I am sure I would melt if I saw him gloating in all his magnificent malevolence.

Thank you misswonderly but I felt it was inappropriate when I went back and read it again. This is discussion of movies and so reality can be considered off-topic. I am sure many people have seen truly horrible things and they do not need to be reminded of them when talking of escapist entertainment. I asked Capuchin what was most effective horror movie for him. He said *Anita Liberty* (1997). He said it sends chills up his spine every time he thinks of a woman on stage saying of her ex-boyfriend: "I am dedicating my life to publicly humiliating him." It seems you do not need scary special-effects to deeply frighten people.

> {quote:title=misswonderly wrote:}{quote} > SansFin, I think nobody knows what to say after that last sentence in your post. I am sorry it was inappropriate. I have changed it to a statement less graphic. I said it only because when I must think of something of true horror I close my eyes and those images are there. They said we should not try to repress those memories. They said we should treat them as matter-of-fact things. That is all I was doing here. I am very sorry if it upset anyone.

> {quote:title=hlywdkjk wrote:}{quote} > I thought I was so smart using a mechanical pencil on grid paper when doing Challenge Schedules. Capuchin is very much the engineer and is most comfortable using computers to arrange things. It took less than ten minutes for him to teach me how to use CAD program to make schedules. You make a line which is as long in inches as movie is long in minutes and put text onto line. You make those into a 'block' so it moves together. Then you click on it and drag it where you want on grid. It is great for seeing how much time is left to fill in and it is easy to pull one movie out of line and put in another of different length. I do not think I could ever do schedule if he had not shown me that.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I did not make choice to miss movies but I do not regret it. Capuchin found a clinic with new pain management program and said I must travel with him. At the airport I am thinking we are going to Atlanta or California but he takes me to gate for Zurich. He checked into the clinic and I stayed that night in rooms they have there for family. They did assessment and said he can have procedure. He said I would be bother if I stayed there the whole time so he gives me airplane ticket to send me to Odessa. It was just in time for me to be with my mother for her ninety-fifth birthday. He made it all seem very last-minute but he must have been planning it for long time. *Knight Without Armour* (1937) is a very good movie and is a favorite of mine. I love to identify with Marlene Dietrich and feel as if I am sultry and complex. It also reminds me of my great-grandmother who was White Russian. I think you will enjoy it very much when you can see it. I watched two versions of *M* (1931) and (1951) months ago. I liked the first version more but I do not feel it will ever be a favorite of mine. Capuchin is so busy now it falls to me to transfer movies from DVR to DVDs. I can do that while watching other movies which I need to see before XMas to win my bet with him that I can watch his whole collection. I would not like to think I am missing a great movie that was on since October 11 by not watching it during transfer.

Please excuse me for posting a thing very much off-topic and perhaps disrupting thread but I will appreciate some advice. I have returned from being with my mother for a week. I did not know I was going until it was time to board the airplane and it has put me terribly behind on my watching movies so I can see all movies in my esso's collection before end of the year. There are also now nearly forty hours of movies on DVR from during my trip. I know he set it to record all Hammer films on Friday nights but there are also many others. I have looked and do not recognize any of the titles as movies I have heard much of. Were there any movies on during the last two weeks which were so special I should see if they are on the DVR and watch them first? I hope you have all had fun. I am sure there are many insightful, witty and wonderful things said recently which I will most likely never see because there is much too much for me to catch up with.

I believe Capuchin made a very nice schedule. It is over-the-top with remakes but I know of great differences between versions I have seen and would very much like to see this on TCM sometimes for movies where I know of only one version. Thank you for making a great challenge Countess! I only have two days and one evening to do and then checking all of it before I can post mine.

The only time a horror movie is effective on me is when there is great polarity. I need it to engage me deeply before the monster appears. It has to give me puzzle or create concern for character on non-horror matter so I am involved and identify with the characters before the shock and terror of unseen beast. *Psycho* (1960) did that for me by making me wonder if Norman Bates was going to steal her money or if she was going to fall in love with him. I was truly concerned whether Norman's mother would like her. I am perhaps only person in the world to have seen it without seeing shower scene first in advertisement or clip or parody. *Cat People* (1942) is also effective horror because I was afraid her mental state would endanger her marriage and his love for her. Fact that her beliefs were real was terrifying. The slasher flicks carry no sense of horror for me. No blood and gore movie is anything like real horrors I have seen.

Thank you for those kind words. I do hope you watch them again. They are all priceless. I often write such things but by the time I complete my thoughts and then groom and regroom it to make sure I did not any words out or make misppelings it is usually several days and everyone has lost interest and the thread has moved to third or fourth page. Sadly my analysis is obviously flawed. I believe *Tovarich* (1937) is one of the most romantic movies ever made. They were powerful people but they took no risk in love. They married with the blessing of the Czar and moment when they realized they were in love was many years before opening scene of movie. *Death Takes a Holiday* (1934) is also very romantic movie. He is powerful but is unsure of himself to a great degree and is in a place where he has no control. She is an emotional train-wreck. Their love has no real risk for they are going off to live in their own world. I am not sure if her being in love with death is conflicted. I feel it is right and proper for her.
