See? I did not know interracial marriage was ever illegal in the US*. Thankfully, I never saw segregation and just the thought of it baffles & outrages me.
That is why classic film can be a history lesson. Just like books, movies can make the stories alive with charactors that viewers can experience through. For that reason alone movies that may be politically "incorrect" really should not be banned.
* United States....we're anything but united.
Jakeem just happened to post this yesterday in the Whoppers thread in Off-Topics ...

The day is named for the monumental case, Loving v. Virginia, and the interracial couple at its center, Richard and Mildred Loving. The 1967 Supreme Court decision struck down 16 state bans on interracial marriage as unconstitutional. -
Sunday, June 14
8 p.m. Chariots of Fire (1981). When I ran my first marathon I passed a bunch of college students at the 22 mile mark who were set up in deck chairs with what looked like pitchers of Gin. They were playing Vengelis on a boom box and watching all the suffering runners go by.

Saturday, June 13
10 a.m. Popeye: Child Psykolojiky (1941).
8 p.m. Gunga Din (1939). When the schedule was originally announced this was followed by the 1951 Soldiers Three which is terrible. So just as well that has been replaced by Kim (1951).

Stay with us late tonight at midnight ET as we present the TCM premiere of the 20th Century Fox musical SWEET AND LOW DOWN ('44)
starring Lynn Bari, James Cardwell, Linda Darnell and Benny Goodman and his orchestra. #LetsMovie
I think they may have gotten the timing wrong in the schedule as my 'padded' recording missed the end.

1989
and I’ve also seen …
Operation Cougar (1989) Fengliang Yang, Yimou Zhang, China
A group of terrorists hijack a plane then the negotiations begin. This is routine in every way. Gong Li has a small nothing part.

The days for Nina Foch and Sammy Davis, Jr. are the high points to me. And I say that even though I worship Barbara Stanwyck and William Powell. But, I have seen EVERYTHING THEY HAVE EVER DONE and would be thrilled to see some different people honored.
Agreed, but if they do in fact play The Senator Was Indiscreet it will have been well worth another William Powell day. A good copy is impossible to find.

I'm impressed with this year's line up of Stars and some films that I haven't had the chance to see as yet. Here are some of the month's highlights for me:
Crisscross (1992) with Goldie Hawn
A Man Called Adam (1966) with Sammy Davis, Jr.
Don Juan (1926) and Night Club Scandal (1937) with John Barrymore
Cry of the Werewolf (1944) and The Dark Past (1948) with Nina Foch
In Caliente (1935) with Dolores Del Rio
***The Senator Was Indiscreet*** (1947). With William Powell. I have seen this one and since then I've only been able to find very bad quality copies of the film. Let's hope that it stays on the schedule and plays in Canada too !
Man Bait (1952) with Diana Dors
Have I the Right to Kill aka The Unvanquished (1964) with Alain Delon

Sunday, June 7
2 p.m. The Philadelphia Story (1940). It’s well worth a watch once every dozen years, or so.

Saturday, June 6
10 a.m. Popeye: Olive’s Birthday Presink (1941).

I need to catch this one. How does it rate?
It is quite different from the Thalberg MGM Marx Brothers films. It still owes a lot to the Marx Bros. Broadway show and as a film it may seem a bit creaky. But it is well written and still lots of fun. I envy you a little that you haven't seen it. When I watched my last unseen Marx Bros. film in a revue house I felt a bit sad half way through because it occurred to me that this was the last one.

Lucky you,2 of my favorites, beautywise,i have no interest in the current leading ladies not a question of age simply they do not 'dégage' as the 'old' leading ladies imo.
As for your diner near CC she was filming up north and in Montreal with Lino Ventura in one of his last films,she came to the festival I think 5-6 years later for a movie she was in and directed by her boyfriend the movie got several prizes.I did not try to see her as i sweared to myself not to attend any Italian female movie star since Sophia Loren made or actually planned an appearance in a major big store and it got cancelled because of almost 'riot conditions'...My sister met Robert De Niro during the same filming you mention,she said he was a gentleman and respectful-my sister had incredible looks-and he did not play the usual casanova stuff,they shared a few drinks that's all.I did not had such a luck with a movie star,in the music business I have met rock stars galore,but in my days the 2 biz were not together very much.the closest I can remember is seeing Peter Boyle while I was going out from the Roxy in LA!!! The most striking woman or celebrity I have ever seen was Bianca Jagger in 1976 I was 20 years old,my summer job was working at the Olympics, Jagger showed up with his wife in tow -he had a pass but no tickets- I kept my cool as I knew he was in town the day before via the paper a big sports fan ,the Stones were my favorite band I took my Rolling Stones very seriously travelling to shows etc I took care of him for a whole week,Bianca is from Nicaragua was previously involved with Michael Caine at 19 she was 30 then.Believe me her beauty was incredible !Jagger was a classy guy,lots of fun ,I remember at the end of the 1st day-we had all a ridiculous outfit- he looked and found me to thank me for the seats and he came back everyday ...with a different woman and they were not from Montreal all very nice and well dressed !,He even showed up with Ahmet Ertegun the very important boss at Atlantic, since I knew who he was we had a great conversation..As for Bianca,the marriage then was on a ventilator but he never got a better woman intellectually and physically.
About Cartouche I will have to look at it again because Belmondo did a jaw dropping thing in the film he was fighting 2 guys from behind I think ! I have never seen anything like this-you would expect this in a cartoon, anyway,great film,sorry it is a bit long...all the best keep on posting
Speaking of Belmondo and stunts I did a mini review a while back of his Fear Over the City (1975) which has about a 15 minute chase scene, much of which is on those slippery Paris rooftops. Incredible.
