Well after color cinematography became the standard, some movies were consciously shot in black-and-white. In addtion to PAPER MOON, examples are THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, SCHINDLER'S LIST (which had some color---the girl's red coat) and THE ARTIST. It's sad to think that some people are depriving themselves of these movies because they are not in color.

As has been noted before, Philip Seymour Hoffman's breakout role was probably Scotty J in BOOGIE NIGHTS, the porn set boom operator with a crush on Dirk Diggler.

Perhaps there was some deleted footage from the scene where Belle's eyes are tearing up when Rhett leaves. The part with her looking at a photo of her son (whose ears resemble Gable's) after Rhett's exit to return to Scarlett ended up on the cutting room floor.

I like THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL, but it's all because of Marilyn Monroe. None of her male co-stars in her movies were really able to match her sexiness with the exception of maybe Don Murray in BUS STOP. .

I wonder if Summer Under The Stars will be cancelled this year?

I think Justin Bieber did when he was 15.

I've only seen the movie in its entirety once, but I think it was implied that Rhett was possibly the father of Belle's son but was never confirmed explicitly.

Has Woody Allen ever acted in movies that he didn't direct?

I'm glad that TCM aired JUGGERNAUT during its evening of disaster movies on March 21. The movie was the on the schedule before a few months ago but was bumped before the actual air date.

Yes, he's very smart for his age just like his uncle was.

I really enjoyed Sidney Lumet's commentary about directing Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani in THE FUGITIVE KIND that was included with the special features on the Criterion Collection release of the movie. According to Lumet, Magnani did not want to rehearse much before shooting her scenes. In one scene Brandon kept forgeting the same line in multiple takes of a lengthy piece of dialogue. Lumet believes that there was something about the speech that affected Brandon on a personal level to the point that he didn't want to complete it. Brandon even asked if they could to shoot the scene the next day but Lumet pressed on.

That's very interesting that the title character of the play doesn't appear, sort of like Waiting for Godot.

Yes, Kim Basinger is very good in NADINE. Every time she says "Vernon Hightower" is a hoot.

Has TCM ever aired THE MEN? I think it's Marlon Brando's first movie, released before his breakout role in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.

Yes, this thread will become a man.

TCM really should air ROPE again soon.

Yeah, the WINGS poster is one of my favorite movie posters and WINGS is one of my favorite movies.

Peter Scolari is really good as Hannah's father on GIRLS.

Tor Johnson (via CGI) as Malvoy's grandfather. It might work.

I was shocked to find out that he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for TORA! TORA! TORA!, a movie in which he played 3 different characters.

Here's that clip from THE KILLERS:

Tim Holt is a very underrated actor. I think he did mostly Westerns. His performance in THE MAGNIFICIENT AMBERSONS is fantastic.

I can't believe Woody Allen was mentioned until now.
