  1. I think one or two have been shown, like Brian's Song.

     

    To request a movie, place your cursor on the FAN COMMUNITY button on the TCM Web page header. In the dropdown menu you will see SUGGEST A MOVIE, and there you go.

  2.  

    Just wanted to mention it because of Tulsa. Not one of her most famous movies, or particularly great. Just an ordinary story about cattle and oil in Oklahoma, but it's one I like. It shows off her personality and screen presence as good as any of her films. It's supposed to be in Technicolor, but I've never seen a good print.

     

     

  3. I don't think you would expect the characters to do the work themselves. Ultimately, it's not worth spending too much time debating the cars' abilities, after all, it's Hollywood, and it's the moooveees. Don't expect accuracy.

  4. I was happy to see him praise Jane Powell's performance in Royal Wedding this morning. I feel she gets too little appreciation for her work. I haven't seen her in much dramatic work, aside from musicals, she got cast in romantic comedies. But from what I can see, she would do a great job. And dancewise, she easily held her own with Mr. Astaire.

  5. I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves, and hired policemen to enforce them. We of the other planets have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets, and for the complete elimination of aggression. The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen we have created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets, in space ships like this one, and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowlege that we are free from aggression and war. Free to pursue more profitable enterprises. We do not pretend to have achieved perfection. But we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned out cinder. Your choice is simple. Join us, and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.

  6. If you search on Google "Nancy Carroll photos," then click on the link at the top of the pics displayed, you will get a gallery of photos that includes Dabbsies. But I got the name by doing an advanced search on IMDB showing collaborations between first Misters Grant and Scott, then the lady heading their movie Hot Saturday's collaboration with Mr. Lubitsch (Broken Lullaby).
