Meg Foster it is! How about these eyes (admittedly of a different sort)?:

Well, whose is it?:

Wait no longer, it's Faith Domergue, scsu1975!

Yippeee! I got one! She does look like Ms. Jones. Here's one:

The bangs say Louise Brooks.

No, I never stayed up late enough to see The Late Show. The Early Show had only music for the intro, from the Rite of Spring, if I remember correctly.

Don't forget The Early Show, weekdays on KNXT (now KCBS), channel 2.

>SansFin: >I hope you will watch it when it airs. It is possible that you will like it more than you expect. I have seen it, which is why I said I was not in love with it. I will watch and record it, though I cannot say I will keep it.

As I suspected. All's right with the world, now. One technical note. You can go to your other "message" and make a comment there. It's actually better to do that, because when someone discovers the movie or TV show you are looking for, that's where they will answer it, like I'm doing here.

As Der Bingel might say: Whoah, whoah, waaaitaminute there. Hold your horses. I said surprised, but I did not say displeased. Although I can't say I'm in love with La Femme, I don't mind TCM showing it. And I would like to see an expansion of thier international fare. My comment was made in counterpoint to many made here that would like to strangle TCM's offerings down to a narrow selection. It was made more in hope, than fear or disgust. Even so, I would not care to see The Cook, the Thief. . . ., I've tried a few times, and I've never got more than forty-five minutes or so into it before becoming too annoyed to continue watching it.

I was certainly surprised to see this on the schedule. Quite a stretch for the old bones of TCM. What's next? The Night Porter? The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover?

Ks, not Cs

Looks like Chris Christopherson.

Yes, that's her! A fine actress. If you see an amount of French films, you will certainly encounter her.

In the book, Uncle Remus was a slave, and he told his stories to one boy, the son of his owners. He was depicted as intellegent, though it was more cunning and wiliness than wisdom. The relationship between the two was uneven, with either Uncle Remus or the boy at different times angry with the other. But all difficulties were ultimately overcome, becasue of the irresistable appetite the boy had for the stories, and the desire of Uncle Remus to take advatage of the boy to get favors and things. This is not to imply there was no actual affection they had for one another. Disney rightly realized that even in the times they made the film, drenched in bigotry and racism as American society was, it would probably be a bad thing to maintian the antebellum time frame of the book, so they transferred it to an undefined non-slave time, maintaining, of course, the degrading and mocking stereotypes to flavor the work. It is ironic to note that, meritorious as the elimination of the slave element is, it also eliminates the basis for true frienship between Uncle Remus and his young audience.

Clue: she's not American. Excuse me, I forgot, she's not Sarah Douglas. Edited by: slaytonf on Mar 20, 2013 5:01 PM

You won't find a lot of people to go along with you on colorization here. Me, I will say I prefer not to see colorized versions of bw films. Other will have a more--energetic response.

Dangerous woman:

I have noticed on a few early sound films and some silent films that it is cited as a production by the director on the tile card (e.g.., A Mervin LeRoy Production, a Fred Niblo Production), with no separate directorial credit. I assume the film companies assumed the audience would understand that the person cited was the director.

Beachhead is right!

Forty-nine minus thirty-three is sixteen. Sixteen minutes. No, that's not quite the record for guessing one of my posts. Too bad lavender, but you still get a kudo for being right, if that's any consolation. ! By the way, know what episode it was?

MH, MH was a favorite series of mine. It had a curious combination of edgy (for the time) material and conventional values. I liked all the cast, especially Louise Lasser and Mary Kay Place. Here's a different pair:

Yes, that's her!

There've been ads for movies before, and TCM's come through it alright--though some might argue the point. TCM has even programmed a evenings of movies around releases of recent adaptations of The Three Musketeers, and Les Miserables. If it helps pay the bills and allows TCM to continue showing uncut, uninterrupted movies in thier original aspects, I'm ok with it.
