Not much to work with. They might try fleshing it out with The 500 Pound Jerk, an inoffensive TV movie.

I am anticipate much excitement to watch more and more movies free online and have decide already to advantage the many positive links to increase my viewing.

I don't watch Best Years of Our Lives every time it's on, even though it's the best American film, and one of my favorites. 'Cause I've seen it a lot, you know. Maybe ten, fifteen times. And, so I'm not surprised by anything. I know what's coming. So I say to myself, every time they're in the cab about to drop off Homer, hey, I'm no softy. I'm pretty tough. I can take it. And I've seen it lots before, so I'll be ok. But when he gets out of the cab I feel myself slipping. And when his sister starts running and wildly shouting to everyone and then she runs into his arms, and. . . . oh darn, it happened again.

How about Northwest Frotier (1959)? There aren't any crashes, but it's in India, and there is a lot of action around a train. Here's a synopsis:

You can watch it on YouTube. Type in Northwest Frontier, or Flame Over India, the alternate title.

I think it was called the CBS Children's Film Festival. There were some great films in it, and not just for children.

>per musicalnovelty:
>Karl Freund and Carl Laemmle reportedly disliked some of his compositions and had them replaced by the Roemheld selections
Does that mean those compositions were never recorded and are not available for listening?

You have to go to a particular Web page for a movie in the TCM database. On most screens, say the TCM homepage, there is a search box at the top right of the screen. Make sure the TCMDb is selected, type in the movie's name, and on the screen that pops up, click on the movie you want. For example, for Madame Du Barry you get:
http://www.tcm.com/search/?text=madamedubarry&type=allDb
Say you want the 1932 version with Dolores del Rio. Click on that title and you get the Web page for it:
http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/2578/Madame-Du-Barry/
Under the title the air date(s) will show, with an option to send you an e-mail reminder.

Fred, I think the air dates and reminders under a film's title in the TCM database go as far out as schedules are set. For example:
http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/100/The-Crowd/
I periodically check titles I am looking for TCM to air. Just last week I went through the titles, and no January dates came up.

A bleated thanks to you SonOfUni. . . . . From what I read, the cuts scenes were a small loss. They would have lengthened what is already a distracting expository scene. It disrupts the flow of the movie and seems to have been added as filler to lengthen the film. The information could have been communicated better as part of other action.

One of the great Ur-horror movies that had a pivotal role in establishing the genre, and spawning so many wretched offspring. I have learned, where I do not know, that there were some scenes cut from The Mummy to satisfy censors. I forget what they related to. Was this so, and is this we are watching tonite a restored version, and if not, is there a restored version?

Say, movieman1957, the sign over there says "Please do not feed the trolls."
I think it's because they need a special diet, and throwoing them just anything makes them cranky.

Like that. You can even do it yourself, it won't change the thread's origninal title, unless you edit it.

On an actor's Web page on the TCM database, titles of upcoming movies will appear under their name. To the right of the titles are options for getting a reminder via e-mail. F'rinstance:
http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/74987%7C62459/Gloria-Grahame/
Similarly, for a movie, air dates and times will appear under the title on it's Web page, with a like option for getting a reminder:
Jane Wyman, Johnny Belinda, and whatever else you feel like.

She was most often cast as the fast-talking, somewhat ditzy second lead, friend of the female lead. Something which in my opinion wasted her considerable abilities. Often when I see her in these movies, the obvious difference between her screen presence and the role is disconcerting, for example, as in Princess O'Rourke. Undoubtedly her best role, and performance, was as Orry Baxter, the traumatized mother in The Yearling, who was so afraid of the pain of losing yet another child, she wouldn't allow herself to love the only one she had left.
