If O & H really committed to the roles it would actually be a fascinating production.

The TCM HD channel does look really good now. Once upon a time I don't think it was truly in HD, but, yes, it now looks very good.

What was the first mainstream movie to drop the F bomb?

Yes, I do think I remember seeing it on the schedule before.

Veni Vidi Vici

I was glad to see THE SOCERERS is on the July schedule. I missed it the last time it aired.

Little known fact: "This Thread Is Closed" was the original, working title of Tennessee Williams's one-act play THIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED, which was later adapted intio a movie starring Natalie Wood and Robert Redford.

Oh, yes! One of my former co-workers and I would ofen use that "Something suddenly came up" line. We both grew up on Nick At Nite. We talked about visting the Grand Canyon so we could yell "Bobby!!! Cindy!!!"

Yes, that part of the movie does require some suspension of disbelief

Yes, I think George Brent was his stage name.

"The Subject Was Noses" was the title of one of my favorite episodes of THE BRADY BUNCH.

Argh! I missed THE ASCENT.

When in Rome I do as the Romans do . . .

When did ROPE last air on TCM? I missed it when it aired during the Sunday with Hitch tribute. Has it aired on TCM since then?

I missed THE ROMANCE OF ROSY RIDGE when it aired as part of Janet Leigh's Star of the Month tribute. I'm glad to see it's on the July schedule.

Maybe the August schedule will be available online this week.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was definitely the best Star Wars movie.

But what if Drew is your favorite Barrymore?

Marilyn Monroe would have been an interesting choice as Sadie Thompson, but I think on early 1960s TV the material would have been very sanitized.

"I'm a pretty girl, Mama . . . "

I couldn't resist . . .

I hope he dances to a tune with a Pig Latin verse "Ear way in hay ee thay uney may.".

Yes, she was truly a wicked mother in that movie. I know it's a work of fiction but that character really makes me angry.

Honorable (Dishonorable?) Mention: Warren Beatty as Paolo in THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE

The voice used (in addition to the resemblance to Goddard's nose, mouth, eyes and hairstyle) was a big clue. Sara Berner voiced Greta Garbo, Ann Sheridan, Paulette Goddard, and Dorothy Lamour in "Hollywood Steps Out."
