[In Search of DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS]

ALL THE WAY HOME is a marvelous film! Would love to see that again as well! FYI -- I tried to go to the link listed below to purchase DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS and got a prompt that the numbered title was not available -- but thanks anyway -- will continue my search and share whatever I find.

 

In the meantime, TCM -- PLEASE run this film again! As well as ALL THE WAY HOME, if you have it! And a Robert Preston Day is also a fantastic idea!

 

Speaking of Preston -- I found a youtube of him singing "CHICKEN FAT" written by Meredith Wilson specifically for President Kennedy's Council on Physical Fitness in 1961-- if you were in elementary school during the early 60s, chances are you will remember doing squat thrusts to this record! "Go you chicken fat, go!!!!!"

[In Search of DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS]

While watching THE MUSIC MAN last weekend on TCM, I remembered how much I loved Robert Preston in DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS. I started searching for this beautiful film on the internet and it isn't available ANYWHERE. Does anyone know why? Also - if anyone has any ideas as to how to purchase this film, please let us all know.

 

I would imagine TCM owns this, correct? If so, PLEASE schedule a showing!

 

[JOHN BARRYMORE - PLAYMATES]

I am praying that TCM will play John Barrymore's last film, PLAYMATES, again one day -- the last time it ran my dvr cut out right at the start, so I've never seen it all. Does anyone know where I can find a copy?
