"Listen to them. children of the night. What music they make."
- Bela Lugosi in Dracula

The only surviving print is at the UCLA Film Archive. It can be screened by appointment.
If you're trying to see every Best Pic nominee, East Lynne (1931) has only one known extant print (again at UCLA), though according to Wikipedia " somehow, bootleg DVD copies exist, minus the final scene." However, no print of Lubitsch's The Patriot (1928) is known to exist. The trailer can be viewed on YouTube:
I just rewatched this. Lewis Stone is hyped as possessing "Polished Acting Genius", while Neil Hamilton is described as merely "handsome and popular" lol
It would be nice if UCLA would digitize these films for their libraries.

I would also liked to have seen Richard Burton in the NYC production of Hamlet directed by John Gielgud.

Tuesday, June 9
The hot and steamy south during the day and some great 70’s films shot in NYC during the evening.
No Hot Spell I’m afraid.
10:45 a.m. It has been a while since I’ve seen Kazan’s Baby Doll. i wonder how it comes across today? And speaking of Eli Wallach!

That's what reincarnation is for, though if you came back as a housefly you might not even last through Berlin Alexanderplatz, let alone the other 999.
There has to be reincarnation. My actual list of films that I want to see is well over a thousand, if not two. And I like to watch the same films again and again too
I've kept a diary of films seen for 47 years and am only at around 12,000 or so. So looking at my slide rule I see that time is running out!

Ms. Lansbury reprised Blithe Spirit in London last year, winning an Olivier Award at this year's Oliviers, in early April 2015.
I saw it in London! She was amazing in it. What a wonderful night.

I don't think Walter Miller's A Canticle For Liebowitz has been made yet.
I know Philip Borsos spoke of wanting to make it one day. Again, it would be so much easier to make today.
"It could easily be accomplished with a computer"
- Dr. Strangelove

Any Lone Wolf and Baby Cart fans out there?

I would say the second version looks better.
More authentic do you think?

Bela Lugosi in Dracula
Yes, and Boris Karloff in Arsenic and Old Lace

Marlon Brando in Streetcar Named Desire. He took New York by storm and all of his contemporaries were flocking to see it.
We have the film version but to see it live must have been awesome.

"Your'e not 30 anymore Tony ... Hell, you're not even 40!"
- Martin Balsam to Victor Mature in After the Fox

A little late in the day, but does anyone have any thoughts on the next movie up -
Hangmen Also Die! ?
It has an interesting cast - Brian Donlevy, Dennis O'Keefe, Walter Brennan, Anna Lee and Margaret Wycherly.
If it was playing in Canada I would be watching for sure! Fritz Lang.
I've seen the other film based on this same story, Hitler's Madman with John Carradine and was greatly disappointed. Let us know what you think of it. I've never seen it.

Glenn Anders in Lady From Shanghai (1947) as George Grisby

At least something good came out of atomic weapons.
Yes and you never know when we might need them to deflect asteroids or to stop alien invasions.

Here are two more that I haven't been able to find or catch up with as yet:
The Devil's Holiday (1930) directed by Edmund Goulding. It features Nancy Carroll's Oscar nominated performance. It's a Paramount film.
and
The White Parade (1934) directed by Irving Cummings. With Loretta Young and John Boles. It's a Fox film that was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.

I would love for TCM to spotlight the work of Robert Aldrich.
Maybe they could call it the "The Good, The Bad and The Lylah."
I also enjoy movies that are ostensibly in one genre but that trascend that genre to become really something else entirely.
One of the best examples I can think of is Robert Altman's GOSFORD PARK, which is ostensibly a murder mystery but the whodunit aspect is not the primary focus of the movie. In fact, the detective in the movie never learns the identity of the murderer (although the identity is revealed to the audience).
Re, Gosford Park I also found it quite funny that the imperious detective played by Stephen Fry never solves anything. It is his assistant who keeps trying to steer the case.

I wasn't sure where to place this comment so I am using this thread.
A while back someone mentioned that he or she thought James Fox had gone into semi-retirement after filming Nicolas Roeg's Performance. The thought being that it was the experience of making that film that informed his decision.
I have really no idea one way or another. But, anyone who is in London on July 30 may wish to go to the BFI were James Fox is appearing for a Q&A after a screening of Performance.

I apologize if anyone has tried to PM me recently. My inbox was full, but I've cleared it out now.
I'll address this issue of disruptions here, for everyone.
There have been quite a few threads lately where we have removed posts, and some where we have locked, or even had to remove the entire thread. This is usually due to comments that stray off topic, or inappropriate posts concerning another member (named or not, it's obvious).
Please ignore any poster you do not wish to engage in a discussion with. If that person is disrupting a thread, and you participate in the disruption, your post will probably be removed also. It's much easier for us to clean up a thread when there are fewer people snipping back and forth at one another. THAT is the behavior that gets threads locked/removed. And again, I will reiterate, there is no member that has any influence over that decision process. It is applied to everyone equally.
I thank you all in advance for your cooperation!
Thank you for your response.
I hope you will take one of my original comments (see below) into consideration going forward ...
"But time and again in the past week or so I have seen a couple of members join into a discussion in a thread demanding from the outset that it be shut down."
My point is that if the thread is in fact then shut down these people have been rewarded. And that isn't really right either.
But let's hope we don't go there again!

It's not a biography, but just a film book ... does anyone remember Why a Duck? by Richard Anobile?
Before the days of vhs this book gave the avid fan still photographs from Duck Soup with some of the films' dialogue printed underneath. It's the best we could get then.
Anobile also did a Play It Again, Sam book in the same style.
