It does resurface on TV periodically. One of the Hallmark channels used to show it before they made about a million rom/com/mysteries. They are available on DVD. The PM movies are very good, but not quite as good as the original 60 minute B&W TV shows. But then, I'm not as good as I used to be either. Ironically, the PM movies were set in Denver for some reason. Probably more state money available.

I was going to point that out when I saw it, but forgot to. Maybe amnesia is contagious from good "B" movies? Also another scene which clearly shows and Pennsylvania Railroad engine on California train.

Can't recall the name of the movie and looked in Wiki, but doesn't jump out at me. She played the younger sister in a mystery movie who became involved with a "bad" guy. Her brother tried to break them up. I wonder if her height and perennial youthful looks kept her from getting more serious, more mature roles.

That's why I record the Midnight showing. Also, enables rewinding to check something out. This is what I call a good, tight movie. No wasted motions. Somewhat akin to old 30 minute TV shows.

I've watched A Lady Without Passport several times primarily for Hedy Lamarr. As you note, the Havana settings and the story itself make for a very interesting movie.

God, I hope not. Jean Rasey did George very well in the TV series (77-79).

While George was not in the movies, she had a prominent role in the Nancy Drew TV series with Pamela Sue Martin, 77-79. This was a series with Nancy Drew one Week and the Hardy Boys the other. Eventually the Hardy Boys (mostly lame-O Shaun Cassidy) became the series with Nancy dropping in occasionally. Interestingly, the DVD set of Season One includes Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys, but the actual DVD's are separated into ND and HB although the shows alternated each week. Granville was about 16 at the time the movies were made and this was Nancy Drew's approximate age in the books. Pamela Sue Martin was older and played it as an older Nancy.

Probably because TCM does not show them. I think there are about 100, 50 at least, movies about Vietnam War or period leading up to it. 9 million people served in military during the Vietnam War and 2.7 million served in Vietnam (9.7% of the generation). That does not add in the relatives and others back home. Try and find Go Tell the Spartans with Burt Lancaster. My favorite Vietnam War movie. It is about the early period when we were rapidly increasing the numbers or "advisers."

I may not be right, but I think sometimes people tend to read things into movies, TV shows and books that the writers, directors and so forth never intended. This may be especially true of Film Noir movies. Not saying you are doing this, just that your post brought it to my mind.

He was wondering if he had left when he should have, would they have caught him. Answer: No. However, he chose to stay and oogling the dancing girl and paying for the music. Giving the cops time to get there.

Please do not use abbreviations for first time mention of a movie title. While I believe that GWTW is Gone With the Wind, have no idea what SW, GF I and GF II are.

A good movie, but like a lot of others, once you have seen it, it is way too long to watch again.

Came across the below list of best cult movies about Vietnam. I heartily recommend Go Tell the Spartans with Burt Lancaster. As usual, TCM is not showing any Vietnam War movies on the three day Memorial Day event. Even though movies about the war and foundations go back to the early 50's. https://www.moaa.org/Content/Publications-and-Media/Features-and-Columns/MOAA-Features/5-of-the-Best-Cult-Films-About-the-Vietnam-War.aspx

What does it mean?Been getting this for last few days and unable to access the Most Recent Posts tab. Have no idea what AdminCP is. [[Template core/front/global/tcmTabBar is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

Tuesday, May 22: Four Nancy Drew movies beginning at 8:00 PM. Two shorts intermixed. These are really good, entertaining movies. Too bad Bonita Granville did not make more. My favorite is Troubleshooter.

Also stars Phyllis Kirk who played Nora Charles in The Thin Man TV series with Peter Lawford. Probably one of few actresses buried in Arlington National Cemetery with her husband, Warren Bush.

Works for books too.

Been wondering the same thing. What gets me is that every time I go to login, if I do not place the pointer precisely in the box, I get the little "billboard" Remembering Kyle Kersten. No offense, but shouldn't this automatic notification be removed? It isn't done for anybody else, not even Robert Osborne.

Surprised A League of Their Own isn't showing up. Another of my favorite movies. I am opposed to boxing and any movies/TV shows about boxing. It is not a sport.

Actually I dislike marathons, be they movies or TV series. Some channels now show 10-15 shows from one TV series in a row. Boring after 2 or 3. Same for movies. Tomorrow on TCM it's Andy Hardy on and on and on. Particularly bad since I don't like Andy Hardy at all.

One of my favorite movies, but I never thought of it as a sports movie. Of course, fishing is a sport.

Over 26 years in the Army and I met a lot of people who were anything but heroes. Also a lot who were or came close, but would have refused the designation. I am not a hero. While all did make sacrifices to some extent or another, that doesn't make them a "hero."

I like Bull Durham, but then it is set in area near where I live. Still a good movie regardless of where it is set. I think Kevin Costner's best movies are the ones where round balls figure into it. Tried to find this list, but apparently there are hundreds of different Best or Top XXX sports movies. Regardless, impossible to determine a best as so many are different categories to begin with. Dramas, comedies, biographical, inspirational, etc.

Until I joined this site, I never realized that High Noon had a moralistic or political message. Just thought it was a really good movie. Probably true about a lot of movies I enjoy.

For reference, I served in Vietnam and the Gulf during those wars and retired from the Army. So, I have seen the full range of support vs. non-support vs. outright opposition.
