All these decades later and there are still poles with wires.

And you wonder why the programmer didn't get back to you?

I'm a big fan of Salty O'Rourke. The cast is good with Alan Ladd, Gail Russell, William Demarest, and Stanley Clements, Spring Byington, and Bruce Cabot. Good balance of tension (related to gangster Cabot), romance and comedy (mostly by Demarest similar to how he supported Bogie in All Through the Night). Stanley Clements really makes an impact as a young man that falls for teacher Gail Russell (of course Clements is no match for Ladd in the romance department).

It can help with ones timing as a singer to play rhythm guitar. But that is just for me; My guess is that Bono wants to be like Elvis (ha ha).

Humoresque is one of my favorite films. I played violin as a child and up until Jr. High so I relate to the parts of how his parents viewed him as a musician (but luckily I didn't meet any dames like Joan!). There is CD available:

You mention some very good films I didn't include. Looks like Joan needs to be featured in a month where she can get 5 days instead of just 4.

I posted a similar type set of four nights a while back (with the actual movies I wished to see). The only difference is that I had a "as a mother" night, since later in her career (like a lot of actresses) Joan played a mother in some very good movies.

So you change channels. AND what do you find? Actual commercials. Right? I.e. what other movie network shows studio-era films with only a few minutes per hour dedicated to commercials? That would be none. Also since stations like to start programming on the hour \ half-hour, they have time. Yea I wished they showed shorts or other type of movie related programming instead of those TCM commercials, but again, it still is only a few minutes per hour.

Uh, no media outlet would show it and no company would distribute it to be shown in theaters.

It doesn't take any nerve to see blatant arrogance when someone writes "actual truth will never be known" and then follows that with "but it's obvious to me". Just own your POV; you believe we do know the actual truth, AND, that truth is obvious to you. I clearly said multiple times: I have no idea what happened or didn't happen. NO clue. NO opinion.

Mitchum has a great voice so in my version they sing a duet and when Bob gets really into it and is distracted,,,,, she pops him!

Yea, this is all very confusing since both films were released in 1977 and the Italian and Spanish titles are very similar.

Tentacles (Italian title: Tentacoli) is a 1977 Italian-American horror film directed by Ovidio G. Assonitis and starring John Huston, Shelley Winters, Bo Hopkins and Henry Fonda Tintorera is a 1977 Mexican-British[1][2] horror film directed by René Cardona Jr. and starring Susan George, Hugo Stiglitz, Fiona Lewis and Andrés García

Coming from someone that would make this type of arrogant asinine statement: "What the actual truth is will never be known, but it's obvious to me, Allen used his celebrity to beat the system".

1941 - Confirm or Deny.

The Fleet is In is a must-see for Hutton fans:

My Favorite Betty Hutton film is The Fleet's In (1942) with Dorothy Lamour, and William Holden. This was Hutton firm major film and I tend to enjoy films she is in where isn't is the lead. PS: Saw Hutton in a 50s Gunsmoke. At first I believed it was Alice Faye. Anyhow, Hutton was good as a getting-older entertainer out to get Matt for the death of her brother. Here is one of the best moments of the film:

Odds Against Tomorrow is a fine film and for me the last from the core film noir era. Yea, some fine jazz music in the film is a bonus. especially for me! (i.e. the story, and first rate acting would have been enough, but the jazz scenes and film score make this one of my favorite noirs).

L.A. Times columnist Robin Abcarian Sunday article is: "Is your mind made up about Woody Allen?". It goes on to mention the HBO docuseries "Allen v Farrow"; Her basic point is that if you watch this and are not convinced Allen molested Dylan, well,,,, something is wrong with you. She also says that she used to be "taken" with the Allen film Manhattan, but now "all I feel is deep discomfort and disgust". I took this as more messaging: You not only have to believe Allen is guilty, but if you enjoy any of his work, ,,well,,, something is wrong with you. My POV: I don't know what happened and I don't really care as it relates to how I view Allen's work.

Have you seen 1940's Torrid Zone? This is a James Cagney \ Pat O'Brien film, with Ann Sheridan (her best work IMO) and Andy Devine as a sidekick for the Cagney character. The film is an adventure comedy leaning more towards the comedy.

Warner Baxter was getting to be too old to chase and fight criminals in the late 40s with the Crime Doctor serial. He was having health issues when he made the last one, The Crime Doctor's Diary in 1949, and passed at the age of 62, 3 years later.

Interesting that Manners decided to retire from film acting at the age of 36 and from all acting at 53. This from Wiki: Following his retirement from acting, Manners spent the remaining decades of his life pursuing his personal interests, including painting, writing, and studying philosophy. His reflections on philosophy were presented in Look Through: An Evidence of Self Discovery, published in 1971 by El Cariso Publications.
