You never heard of oval-teals?

Anti-war movies by war: WW I: All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) The Big Parade (1925) WW II: Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) American Civil War: Gone With the Wind (1939) Korean War: Pork Chop Hill (1959) Vietnam War : Take your pick, mine is The Deer Hunter (1978)

got it! Ovaltine!

Perhaps that's because you were uploading a pic directly from your computer to the TCM site. You can do that, but only to a limited extent. I don't know if each pic you upload directly has a limit, or there is just a total limit for all your pics. I found this out but running into the same thing. Now, every time I want to upload a pic, I just use the methods above.

Well, natch, if I'm gonna look for a sample pic. I won't choose Ned Sparks.

As I said in my post.

If you have a pic on your computer, or you have to take a screenshot of a site or something and make a file of it, then the best option is to go to what is called an image hosting site and put your pic there. My image hoster of choice is imgbb. The Website is, of course, imgbb.com. Go there and you will see this: Press the start uploading button, and a dropdown menu of what's on your computer will appear (I don't want to post a screenshot of my computer showing my dropdown menu for privacy reasons). Select the file with the pic you want, and you will see this: Press the upload button, and you will see this: Now here's the important part. Click on the pic, and another browser window, or tab will open with the pic in it: See how the pic is in it's own tab, separate from the tab for imgbb? Now you can select this pic, copy its address, and put it in your post as I described above.

Go to a site you want to get a pic from (Some sites may block this.). Select the image you want, however you do it on your computer to get the menu for options. On an Apple computer you will see this: Something similar will appear on a PC. Copy the address of the pic. Go to the thread you want to post a pic in, or start a thread of your own. At the place you want your pic to appear, click the Insert other media button below the text area: You will see: Select the 'Insert image from URL' button. You will see: Paste the image address in the box, and if you have lived an honorable life, you will see your pic materialize in your post:

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the man to the right of Joan Crawford in the publicity still for Sadie McKee (1934) is Oliver T. Marsh, the movie's cinematographer.

And I would agree with you that the woman in the still from That Girl From Paris (1936) is Lucile Ball.

The woman with Gary Cooper in the still from His Woman (1931) is likely Raquel Davidovich.

Whew!

Told you I was lazy.

Thanks Lorna! Teach me for being lazy.

Much as I admire Kathryn Grayson, I'd really appreciate it if TCM replaced the Month Schedule for January with February. It's a convenient way of keeping tabs on what's coming up. Not that it appears anything new will be coming up this month.

Although I would have to defer to those more intimately acquainted with the fine shadings of British accents, your observation that Mr. Grant's Bristolian roots showed through--his what? His surficial public school accent. And regardless of any nasality or twangs that coloured his speech, nevertheless it was of a class with the likes of Alistair Cooke and Glenda Jackson. And it was that class of accent I was opposing in my comment to the pretension of Americans in their construct of the Mid-Atlantic accent. Cary Grant did not speak with a Mid-Atlantic accent, he spoke with the standard public school accent, or BBC accent.

Cary Grant's accent was BBC English. As for fast-talking, you can't get any better than Lee Tracy.

You act like seeing these movies would be a plus.

And here am I, living my entire life in backwaters so removed from the mainstream as to be ignorant of that.

Among the many knotty philosophical quandaries: why has no one made a cola flavored ice cream? Or a root beer flavored one? It seems a great convenience. You can have your float without having to make a float.

You will find, upon reflection, that ice cream is eminently appropriate for all categories of climates.

Always and actress on my list, her breezy sophistication and willowy figure graced a number of society/romance/dramas of the early to mid thirties--the best of them Lady With a Past (1932). For all my admiration, I never abused myself in thinking she was any great actress beyond her metier, notwithstanding moments in Son of the Gods (1930), The Easiest Way (1931), or Outcast Lady (1934). She was either untaxed in her roles, or when taxed--oh, I won't say anything. In any case, I watched a movie of hers called Paris Underground (1945), a quasi-true tale of an American in occupied WWII France who becomes instrumental in smuggling shot-down fliers out to safety. I did it just on her name, not expecting to get all the way through it. And I found a real prize of a performance. Maybe she was helped by the script, and maybe by Gregory Ratoff, who directed. But despite anything else, she delivered. And now I'm glad to think much better of her as an actress. Bytheway, she also produced the movie. Way to go, Connie!

That's it! So maybe that is where the still is from.
