  1. The man standing behind Grant Withers in pic 7 looks like Otto Hoffman.
  2. You've hoped to see it. You've posted about it any number of times. You've entered it in Suggest a Movie. Time passes. Years. And you think, almost, it will never air on TCM. That's what I meant.
  3. film lover 293 discovered it on YT back in December 2015 and Lorna Hanson Forbes called people's attention to it. It has since sunk beneath the waves of YT copyright enforcement.
  4. I think a reason I didn't recognize him is I am used to seeing him a lot older.
  5. If I run into it again, I will. I don't remember much of the movie, except that as I watched it, I was disappointed in not seeing the visual magic that was in his other work.
  6. I don't have a date for recording An Autumn Afternoon. I've looked thru my monthly skeds as far back as I could stand it and didn't find any listing. But TCM is the only channel I record from. At present it's a mystery how I have it. I'll keep ruminating. I was never sure abut Once Upon a Time in America. I know I've seen it, at least the first twenty minuted or so, because I didn't like it and didn't watch the whole movie--notwithstanding it was one by Sergio Leone.
  7. Are the pictures scrambled? Looks like some of The Other Tomorrow (1930) pics are under True to the Navy (1930), and so on. I'm taking a wild guess that in pic 2 it is William Austin opposite Neil Hamilton. The guy to the left in pic 3 Ms. Bow is smiling at looks like Charles Sellon. In pic 4, Stuart Erwin to the left, and Skeets Gallagher to the right? The guy in pic 8 looks like Grant Withers. The guy in pic 9 looks like Kenneth Thomson.
  8. If. . .(1968) is available for viewing on YT. We have been fortunate enough to have seen O Lucky Man! (1973) on TCM.
  9. The Website is wrong. I told you I recorded Trois Couleurs: Rouge and An Autumn Afternoon. I said I was unsure of . . . .America. But I think it was.
  10. Aside from whether I would want to see any of the movies on the above list, I think some of them have been shown by TCM. Trois Coleurs: Rouge (1994), An Autumn Afternoon (1962) and Land Without Bread (1932), I know have been aired, I recorded them. Among the ones I think have been aired are Carrie (1976), The Thin Blue Line (1988), and Once Upon a Time in America (1984).
  11. It sounds different, but if you listen for the melody, you will hear the similarity.
  12. Jaguar Mk VII in Up To His Ears (1965): Ah, but look what happens to it: Why, why, do filmmakers always feel compelled to destroy nice cars in fiery plunges?
  13. I'm not completely sure, but I think it is the Trennungswalzer, op.19, by Joseph Lanner:
  14. They can knock someone out with a sock to the jaw without breaking their hands, or even hurting them!
  15. Great one! But ol' superdude isn't an Earthie, he a Kryptonian. They're like the inverse of us. So you'd need a thread along the lines of 'mundane things Kryptonies do in the movies they don't in real life *yawn*.
  16. Oh boy, talk about apropos:
  17. Flattening themselves against a wall makes them unnoticed by others walking by! Moving gingerly allows them to open doors, windows, and drawers without a detectable noise to anyone nearby--even if they aren't asleep! They can light up an entire room--with a candle!
  18. Vent away. But my personal feeling is that nudity, or the threat of it before you actually could have it in American movies, had about the same tasteful/tasteless ratio in the past as it does today. I don't think the lechery level in the human race has changed much in the past few decades, only the license for its public exercise. As for your title question, I believe it's rhetorical. I'm sure you know sex sells. And the reason it's mostly wimmin is because it's the prejudice of our culcha. You'll have to change that, in addition to getting more women directors to get more male full-frontal and have them be objectified the same.
