It is a very good film and the bonus interviews with Hardy Kruger and Patricia Gozzi who played the little girl are really fascinating. I watched them on youtube. Kruger is an amazing conversationist. I would recommend the interviews even if you cannot track down the film.

12:15 a.m. The Black Stallion (1979). Well there you go. Almost a double bill with National Velvet (1944) which is on at 4:15 a.m. Just reverse the order. But National Velvet is replaced in Canada with Zebra In the Kitchen (1965) with Jay North, Martin Milner and Andy Devine.

Live Today, Die Tomorrow! (1970) Kaneto Shindo, Japan
A disillusioned teen kills a security guard and goes on the run. It picks up when we flashback to the story of his mother (Nobuko Otawa from Onibaba) and her hardships.

4 hours ago, Gershwin fan said:
Pinkus's Shoe Palace (1916) Ernst Lubitsch, Germany - 7/10- Early Lubitsch comedy about a class clown who is expelled and tries to succeed in the business of selling shoes. This film is very crude but carries a bit of the Lubitsch touch. One funny scene has the main character changing the sizes to trick a woman into buying the shoes. One thing that initially confused me is that the main characters name was Sally. I had never heard of a man being named Sally before. An interesting early effort of Lubitsch that is worth seeing.
I have a story about a film where a man was named "Sally." I was working in a cutting room about 1980/81 and we used to get boxes of 35mm release prints of films that we would use as "spacing" in the sound track lay. Most of our prints came from a lab in Montreal and there was lots of soft core porn. So at lunchtime some of us would run the prints on the moviola before putting them on the rack to be cut up as spacing.
I ran a film called "Kid Sally." It was a circus picture and it was God awful. It was directed by Brian de Palma and starred Robert De Niro in the lead as a clown named Kid Sally. Years later I tried to find some reference to this film that probably never saw the light of day because it was so bad but found nothing. And it was a timed release print with full soundtrack that I watched. I now wished that I had kept that film. Anyone know of anything about this film?

10 a.m. Popeye: Females Is Fickle (1940).
10:07 a.m. Looking For Danger (1957). Long-in-the-tooth Bowery Boys and Stanley Clements. Oh, and Arabs and Nazis too.

1963
and I’ve also seen …
The Squeaker/Der Zinker (1963) Alfred Vohrer, Germany
A German Edgar Wallace mystery that takes place in modern London but everyone speaks German. Why they didn’t transpose it to Germany I don’t know. In any event it didn’t work for me. The mixture of drama and comedy was too odd by half. Klaus Kinski appears in a thankless bit part that typically should have had him wearing a hunchback.

For me this is the most interesting thing that has been on in months.
8 p.m. The Dupont Show of the Month: Wuthering Heights (1958). With Richard Burton, John Colicos, Patty Duke, Denholm Elliott, Robert Flemying, Rosemary Harris, Bernard Miles and Cathleen Nesbitt. Wow. I hope the quality is half decent.

Battle Circus is not a very good Bogie film, as well as starring June Allyson,,,, my least favorite actress of the golden era.
BUT those that love the T.V. Series MASH might finds something interesting in the film.
I agree about Battle Circus. I thought Bogart was too old for June Allyson, whom Im not fond of either. But weird as he comes off as too old in this film but in real life was married to the dish, Lauren Bacall.

My original pick of the day from the schedule when it was announced was The Defector (1966) playing at 12:45 p.m. It starred Montgomery Clift and Hardy Kruger. That has now been replaced by Battle Circus (1953).
So I'll go with ...
4:40 p.m. Giant (1956).

Really?!? I'd call whomever is in charge of Canadian scheduling and yell; "Wal-KER!" (what the boy calls Scrooge when it's suggested by Ebenezer he go buy the prize turkey
)
But I'm betting you have a copy on disc or some other medium and won't let the season go by without at least a couple of viewings. If you do, then you'd better "nip along smartly"
and slide it in.

Yes, I have a very good dvd copy that gets played Christmas Eve each year.
