You can stream it, download it, and buy a DVD of it. Just search Buy Maroc 7 to see the options. And no, it's never been shown on TCM, at least according to MovieCollector's invaluable list.

A lot of early John Wayne westerns are available in DVD collections. You don't need a lot of them. They're all pretty much the same.

A 1959 Jaguar XK 150, according to IMCDB. Jaguars are overall, the most beautiful cars, though for the last 15 years or so, not so much. Good movie btw.

Won't argue with that.

You probably have time to do it these days. I'm wondering if it could go to 3-d, with Venn spheres? You'd need a hologram to display it.

Names ring a bell? Old girlfriend? Grade school teacher?

Was it Bobby, Louis, Frank, or Ella singing?

I was talking about the overlap between TCM and FXM. It's a lot bigger than you would think. Or a lot bigger than I thought, once I started looking through the titles.

They have. I remember some years ago the mind-numbing repetition of a handful of titles (when I had a different TV supplier and I got the channel). But there is now a greater variety of movies being shown. Although still plenty of repetition to satisfy anybody's tastes. It's not so bad as that. There's, for example: Dragonwyck (1946), I Wake Up Screaming (1941), Les Miserables (1935), The Snake Pit (1948), Backlash (1947), The Man Who Never Was (1956), The Man Who Wouldn't Die (1942), The Model and the Marriage Broker (1951), Stand Up and Cheer! (1934), and others.

The Cinecittá studios were the closest they got to the Vatican.

For a long time, the Fox Movie Channel (FXM) was not in my DirectTV package. By accident, a few week ago I discovered that it's been added. It won't revolutionize my TV experience, but there are movies I look forward to seeing. The channel is divided in two parts. From noon to midnight newer movies are aired, mostly post-2000. From midnight to noon is what is called FXMRetro, when studio-era Fox movies are aired. It has a lot of overlap with TCM, with movies like Dragonwyck (1946), and People Will Talk (1951). But a lot of movies are unique. On the retro side, coming up is: The Big Gamble (1961) Peeper (1975) Phantom of the Paradise (1974) Five Gates to Hell (1959) The Wayward Bus (1947) The Fury (1978) Kagemusha (1980) I don't vouch for any of these, except the last. I started watching Peeper, a noir-detective spoof á la Raymond Chandler, with Natalie Wood and Michael Caine. But I didn't care for it. However, it does have Natalie Wood. Kagemusha is a surprise, but Akira Kurosawa produced it in association with Fox. Some of the new movies of interest, to me at least, are: Straight Outta Compton (2015) The Revenant (2015) Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) The Shape of Water (2017) Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

1926 Duesenberg Model A bodied in 1934 by Bud Lyons in After Office Hours (1935): The car in the movie was black, but there wasn't a good pic of it.

It's been an eye-opener to see who got the Introducing credit. Though some of those mentioned weren't on the same level of stardom as Maureen O'Hara, or Peter O'Toole and the like, they still mostly had successful careers and are somewhat remembered, at least by old film fans. But I don't know if my impression is still correct or not, and I guess it's almost impossible to find out. As others have noted, Introducing credits for actors who fizzle aren't remembered. So there might be dozens of them to each success story. But I can see how I might get the impression that the Introducing credit was a gateway to nowhere no matter whether it really was or not. For well-known stars I'd not pay close attention to their credits, because I'd know they were in the movie--probably being the reason I was watching. And since they each had only one, I may not have even seen it. But my eye skimming over the credits for other actors, Introducing credits would stand out. And associating that with unknown actors would make me form the opinion that actors that got that credit didn't have successful careers.

This was posted in another thread: Posted February 12 I saw this posted by someone else in another section. I haven't tried it myself, though. I did use the old "suggest a movie" page a few times and the movies would eventually pop-up on the schedule. From another section under Technical Issues posted by "Liz Warren": http://forums.tcm.com/topic/261460-suggest-a-movie-log-in-is-broken/ I found a way to suggest a film as follows: At the bottom of TCM's main page, click on "Contact Us" (it's in very tiny font to the right of "Home"). At the bottom of the page that comes up, click on "Have More Questions?," then click on "Contact Us." Under "Submit a Request," click "Choose your category." "Request a Movie" is one of the options; choose that one.

Here's her IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0081278/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 She wasn't in a lot of movies. The most important one looks to me to be Summer Stock (1950).

Watching Jamaica Inn (1939) this morning, I was surprised to see Maureen O'Hara not at the head of the credits, but in that strange specialized place at the end we sometimes see cast as "And Introducing. . . ." It's unusual to see a real star come out of that place, as its inhabitants mostly don't even make brilliant debut from which they can fade to nothingness. That credit has always seemed to me evidence of an attempt by a producer, or somebody to manufacture a movie star. Almost universally a futile exercise, embarrassing to watch. I wonder if any other big stars have come from that peculiar credit.

This her?: It's Nita Bieber.

Got a rough idea of when it was made? Say 30s or 50s?

That's a lot of idle speculation, which serves no purpose. It is disappointing to see people disparage another person's abilities because they disagree with their positions. As has been mentioned repeatedly, and repeatedly ignored, Ava Duvernay is an accomplished filmmaker, producer, and director. In her conversations with Ben Mankiewicz , she displayed a mastery of her craft. To portray her as not knowing her own mind, or a pawn of the programmers at TCM, is a rhetorical ploy to discredit her without addressing the substance of her commentary. People use this unworthy tactic when they know they can't refute the assertions of others, but still persist in opposition based on other factors. Which brings me back to my earlier statement that objection was raised to her because she was African American, and a woman, and she was unapologetically making comments striking at people's complacency, and the way they think.

One could make the same observation/accusation about any other host and their movies. The only difference would be the boxes ticked. I think she was completely aware of how off-putting she would be, and intended it to be so. Perhaps she was sending a message that previous selections were just as off-putting to other viewers.

Here's the schedule. As can be seen, most of them are standard TCM fare, including repeats. Of some eighteen unique movies, as I count, five are what I see as pursuing an agenda. That would be difficult to see as her hijacking the series and turning it into a vehicle for promoting her views. Any selection of movies is an agenda, either for continuity or change. Ava Duvernay had the temerity to unapologetically challenge people's complacency and put forth her ideas of what is essential film making.

If I am not mistaken, most of the movies shown by Ava and Ben were standard TCM fare. Only a few were what I could see as open to interpretation as serving an agenda on her part. It is the intolerance for her particular agenda which has resulted in the mischaracterization of the season of Essentials with her.

No, no car. So it's not relevant. But you never need an excuse to hear a good song.

This is IMDB's page on the music in the movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040872/soundtrack?ref_=tt_trv_snd Here's Woody Guthrie singing his song:
