Yves Montand (1921-1991). Started out as a French crooner of romantic songs before getting into films.
His dramatic breakthrough or revelation may have come with H.G. Couzot's 1953, The Wages of Fear.
My favourite Montand performances are Wages, La Guerre Est Finie (1966), Grand Prix (1966), Manon of the Spring (1986) and Jean de Florette (1986).

You may have, since today's list is inexplicably exactly identical to yesterday's.
1. TORSAKING ALL OTHERS
2. THE TORGEOUS HUSSY
3.
4. THE BRIDE TOR RED
5. TOR MODERN MAIDENS
6. SUSAN AND TOR
7. TORDAY WE LIVE
8. TOR DANCING DAUGHTERS
9. ACROSS TOR SINGATORE
10. TORCH SONG
10. TOR BLUSHONG BRIDES
Oh well, no reason why this data cannot be used to determine trends among viewership patterns involving TCM.
EDIT: I forgot to post the list.
Btw, human error or intent can never factor into these list of pure scientific data.
I'm crying foul! I was up the entire night doing searches for Young Torless and making notations and I simply cannot believe that it did not make the top ten Tor Searches.
Unless TCM did not update its web site and these results are stale?
How can we be assured that the top ten searches are the most current top ten searches? We need to launch a study right away.

Barton you do come up with the scoops!
I hope that they take the opportunity to show some of the marvellous indie films that women have been making in the past twenty years. There are dozens of titles that received critical acclaim but very little subsequent exposure on television.

Lenore Aubert who played Dr. Sandra Mornay in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948). The perfect exotic glam foil for Lou. Hilarious that she was attracted to him because of his brain.
Aubert had a certain Hedy Lamarr quality about her. Unfortunately she was never really able to break through in Hollywood and retired not long after her two A&C movies.

Did I bust the search engine, or something? I'm waiting for the results with bated breath. I hardly slept a wink.

Not sure if this has been mentioned here, or not (too lazy to check I suppose!).
A Clockwork Orange (1971) directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Banned in England until only quite recently. Or withdrawn in England might be the better term. I had heard that it was Kubrick himself that had this film withdrawn out of fear of copycat crimes in England.
On a side note, recently departed Warren Clarke as Dim is just fantastic in this film. Anyone who has seen Clarke on British television in various series will know what a departure 'Dim' must have been for him from his real self. I saw him on stage in London in a play where he portrayed Churchill.

Jean Renoir's Madame Bovary (1934). A copy with English subtitles would be nice.
-
Night of the Iguana is a hit IMHO.

LornaHansonForbes--Maybe TCM will show High Tor (1956) (& yes there IS such a film),a musical where the ghost of a 16th century Dutch girl tries to save TOR's mountain--there might be a lost sequel about keeping TOR in the title condition.
Are you referring to the one with Bing Crosby? The imdb lists Julie Andrews as being in it. 1956. My word.

Teacher, Teacher (1969) with David McCallum and Ossie Davis.

Is it true that Lassie was actually played by a male dog in all the movies or was that just a myth?
I recommend having a read of this entire thread. Doesn't take long. It's a good un.

Young Torless ... Young Torless ... Young Torless.
I'm still searching. Too bad I can't film myself doing the search and post that for everyone to see.

Well, we'll just see if this TOR search thing really works.
I've been doing a search of Young Torless all day long. Once an hour.
I've set my alarm clock to go off every half an hour throughout the night. That way I will be able to hit search on Young Torless a lot more times. I'm making note of how many times in a binder.
If the search is really working I expect to see this in the top ten tomorrow.

11:51 a.m. On the Shores of Nova Scotia looks like an interesting short subject!

AH! The mention of Danny DeVito here reminds me that my wife and I rode an elevator with him inside the JFK airport this past December after we visited the Big Apple. I bent down and told him I was a big fan of his!
(...okay no, I didn't "bend down" to tell him that, but the rest of the story is true, I swear)
This reminds me that I rode a monorail shuttle with Richard Chamberlain at Gatwick. We were the only ones on it. He had enough bags for an army. He said he was visiting friends for just a few days!
I had but hat point introduced myself and said that I had worked on one of his films in Canada. I couldn't remember the name of it at the time which was a tad embarrassing so I offered the director's name. He was able to guess which one it was.
And I missed my opportunity to say that I once had lunch with another Musketeer Michael York!

I'm working from home today, and had my tv on to TCM all morning. My dogs were in there the whole time. I wonder what they thought of the Lassie marathon?
I guess they were watching in black and white.

Had a party last Saturday and I played the song (well the Kinks version), in honor of Jenner.
yes this might take on added significance ...
"Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh, my Jenner, je, je, je, je, Jenner"

Thanks for bringing this back. I couldn't find it when I was looking for it the other day.
I know he is a tad too old now, but anyone else see a resemblance between Beau Bridges and Jeb Jeb Jeb Bush?
I like 'Jeb.' It sounds like a hog call. Apologies to any Jebs out there.
