Yes, the subject matter of Cronenberg's's film was a major turn-off.

Great clip! Who dubbed Rita Hayworth's singing for this song?

I'm just pointing out that it's Sally Field, not Fields.

This is a fan-created "trailer" for AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS that I discovered. The trailer has the feel of a mainstrean Hollywood trailer, but the creator of it has done a wonderful job of portraying the heart of Louis Malle's film.

With CGI this could work.

"Wild Bill" Wellman: one of my favorite directors

I love Marlene Dietrich but perhaps her life was not as facinating as her work. I always presumed that her life was exciting since her screen persona is so electrifying. I haven't read any biographies of her.

CHUCK AND BUCK was an odd movie indeed. It would be difficult keeping Heston out of the loop on that one as he was on BEN-HUR.

I agree that would be a great evening on TCM. I was diasppointed that I missed FIRST A GIRL when it last aired on TCM.

Shirley Knight received Oscar nominations for her work in DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS (which I hope TCM airs soon) and SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH bur re-located to New York to focus on stage work and study.

Has COMING HOME ever aired on TCM?

The name sounds familar, but no image comes to mind.

Yeah, usually that is the case, but in this instance I'm afraid of having those images burned into my mind.

The woman with the bag of jewels is WHAT'S UP, DOC is played by Mabel Albertson, who played Darrin's mother on BEWITCHED. The scene where she discovers her jewels have been stolen and she runs screaming "Robbers! Robbers!" into the hotel lobby really cracks me up.

But, remember, no one puts Sally in a turban.

I agree with you about GILDA. It is a great movie that never gets old. I'm not a Glenn Ford fan, but I do like him in GILDA. I also like him in DEAR HEART. Probably liking Glenn Ford in those movie has more to do with liking Rita Hayworth and Geraldine Page, but if Ford was a bad actor it would not be possible to like him in these movies if though I like the work of his co-stars.

What is the term for refering to oneself in the third person? Shirley Knight's character in THE RAIN PEOPLE does that often. I've corrected my post.

THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is a favorite movie of mine as well. I mentioned it another thread as an example of a film in which black-and-white cinematography was chosen althoiugh color cinematography was the standard at the time the movie was made. Peter Bogdanovich and his cast and crew created something very beautiful and real. Here's an an amazing example:

I was thinking of Marlene Dietrich as being in the Best Supporing Actress category for her role in WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION. I didn't realize that it would be taken as an insult for her to be in that category then. Times have indeed changed.

I would love to see Alfred Hitchcock honored as a star director.

I thought about THE RAIN PEOPLE when I saw Shirley Kinght in JUGGERNAUT.

I'm posting the trailer for AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS. Even the trailer is so powerful.

Why did the Professor get his own hut?

I'm looking forward to two movies airing on TCM on Wednesday May 27 as part of the Sterling Hayden Star of the Month tribute: THE STAR (1952): I must admit that Bette Davis's role as an aging movie star is the reason I want to see this movie more than for Sterling Hayden. SO BIG (1953): I love the 1932 version of SO BIG starring Barbara Stanwyck but have never seen the 1953 version with Jane Wyman and Sterling Hayden. I just realized that "Maria" and "Tony" from WEST SIDE STORY are in these two movies airing on May 27: Natalie Wood plays Bette Davis's teenage daughter in THE STAR and Richard Beymer plays the young Roelf Pool in SO BIG.

Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger did return to making movies after his stint as governor of California.
