What was the one in which LARRY STORCH was credited as doing the voices and one was a larger mouse with a W.C. Fields type voice landing in a Western type town and getting in a fight with a huge town citizen and the large mouse producing a pair of magic boxing gloves that wind up whipping the big guy's can clear out of town. Missed the first few seconds of the intro and just caught the part giving Storch the credit for the voices.

Is there any data to support the need for these changes due to a majority of the viewership registering dislike of what they changed from? Or did "Mr. Big's" trophy wife say she'd like to see the channel do this or that and look like what she'd prefer? Because THEN the need for change was inevitable.
Like my Mom was once heard to say....
"The way to a man's heart is through his crotch! Compared to his brain, it's the part that seems to work."

So far, it's the "new look" we see in between the movies I'm trying to digest. And I'm just guessing here, but some of the new sets the hosts have seem to be designed to give it a "homey"appearance, like the host is reaching out to us from their own homes and relaxing for a movie night. I suppose we should be glad that we're not seeing Ben casually speak to us while wearing a pair of short legged jammies. But then Alicia introducing any movie while sporting a scanty "nightie" might not be hard to take.

They kicked off primetime of the first full day of the new TCM with The Comic and Hugo, both of which are (primarily) in color, but then it was Sunset Blvd.
Lot of primary colors in both of those.
But wondering what point is attempted here?
I don't recall TCM ever promising to be an exclusive black and white movie channel.

As has been discussed a lot lately, forward looking films are now dated.
You mean, like 1984?
Or; 2001:A Space Odyssey?

My first viewing of Strangers When We Meet (1960) was memorable (Kim was memorable indeed, of course, but that's not the matter here), particularly the emotional plea of Barbara Rush to Kirk Douglas. To avoid a spoiler I won't explain why, but it blew me away. Her acting was splendid and the situation itself was compelling. Sometime later, years I think, I remembered that scene and made a point to hunt down the movie and watch it again. Immense disappointment! Go figure. I was moved when I first viewed it and then apparently---and is this what happens?---I built it up so in my own imagination that when viewing again it fell flat. Oh Barbara, what happened? You didn't do it right this time.
I know this is OT, but my Dad once cracked, while watching a well worn old flick....
"I used to respect that guy as an actor. But every time I watch this movie he keeps making the SAME MISTAKES!"

OW!!
Would have been better to hit it on the head.
Anyway, I do agree with other posters here that I never thought the line was intended to make it seem that being "colored" was somehow inferior. At the time, many African-Americans were striving to get across the concept of Martin Luther King that man should not be judged by the color of his skin, but the content of his character.
I always considered that line to be the most impacting of the movie.

I've gone through some of that myself SLAYTON . You know, thinking some scene in some movie is one of my favorite scenes, but when watching that movie down the road I can't figure out why that scene wasn't there. So then I start wondering how and why that is. And the movie doesn't have to be that old. Just not watched for a long spell.
If I happen to think of an example or two later, I'll be sure to post 'em.

Works for me Joe. Considering even BRAVO moved on to showing those idiotic "Real Housewives" shows, a new channel showing pre mid 20th century entertainment is right up my alley.
MOVIES! channel already has their "Iconathons" of various long time studio and beyond movie stars. But they don't get as involved as you suggest. So.....
Get it started. I might even consider buying stock in it!

But you know, the OP has a point of sorts. I can't list specifics, but I've noticed at times now and then, some of the kind of goofs he(or she) was referring to. I just never considered them to be that big a deal. At least not enough to ruin my day or movie watching enjoyment.

Judging by those photos, a better pick to play Duchin( if some or slight resemblance is ever a consideration in biopics, which rarely is ever the case) then either a hair dyed KIRK DOUGLAS or a well groomed JACK PALANCE might have fit the bill. And the other photo (Oelrichs) seems more PATRICIA NEAL to me. But Patricia would really have to have been "uglied up" for the part.
I always liked the movie too. And learned that son PETER DUCHIN became a big draw at Hollywood parties over the years.

OK. And a very young LINDA HUNT played Murray's daughter. But only one episode if memory serves....

Didn't Ed also show up frequently on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" in some kind of recurrent sketches called "Scare Ed Asner" or something?

Well BOGIE.....
General discussions is where I first noticed this thread. Anyway.....
Nothing personal DINA, But I did think your parents were very good at their craft. But the only problem I had in watching anything with your Dad was he resembled a guy I knew in high school who was a bitter enemy that relentlessly made my life miserable. With that in mind, it often made me feel sorry for your Father having that resemblance.

Could have been a "buddy" type thing with Newman and Strother, but too, maybe just Newman suggesting Martin for certain roles due to liking to work with him.
Just like you'll notice frequent appearances of certain actors in several CLINT EASTWOOD movies. Like GEOFFREY LEWIS, MATT CLARK, JOHN QUADE, BILL McKINNEY and so on......
But Clint often being both producer AND director in many of those movies probably made it easier for him to work with actors he liked.

Wow. I just heard about Asner's death 9:00 pm last night on the car radio when leaving my sister in law's house. And THREE PAGES already! I thought this meant there was a lot of LOVE for Asner here. But not totally as it seems some here are picking him apart like vultures due to his politics.
Who gives a f**K? I liked and admired Asner for his ACTING and certain roles and appearances. Sure, I liked his LOU GRANT character on MTM, and equally his continuing the character in his spin-off show.
The abusive father AXEL JORDACHE in the "Rich man, Poor Man" mini series....
The captain of the slave ship in the earlier ROOTS mini series episodes
His dying businessman trying to reunite with his wife and estranged family on what might be his last Christmas in the TV movie THE GATHERING('77)
And the plethora of other small movie roles and TV appearances he made before MTM, LOU GRANT and since. I recall spotting him in an old THE UNTOUCHABLES rerun and RAWHIDE and WAGON TRAIN too.
Rest In Peace, Ed. you've worked hard enough.

So would all that information help you decide if if you would pay $9.99 a month to be able to view any film in the TCM? library anytime you wanted?
