To bring this back to Lucy...
Elizabeth Montgomery's second husband was I Love Lucy director (and Bewitched director), William Asher.
And both the Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz and Elizabeth Montgomery/William Asher marriages ended shortly after the end of their television series.
(After the divorce Desi Arnaz was a producer on some of the early episodes of Lucille Ball's THE LUCY SHOW series. I think Lucille Ball had already re-married by that time.)

Technically, the term soundtrack is Dialogue, Music and Effects.
But most people think of the music track when asked about the 'soundtrack.'
But in the sense of a "soundtrack album" for a movie the term refers to songs used in the movie.

That whole number reminds me of a very bad commerical for mentholated cigarettes.
Love the big bowling number that's laden with sexual innuendo.
"We're Gonna Score Tonight"
I love it!

SUTS 2015 - I am trying to keep current.
2015, Aug 27: The day of Monty Woolley, and somehow managed without including Since You Went Away in the lineup. Holy Matrimony is a very interesting and worth watching.
Girl of the Golden West is coming up later too.
I caught a little of THE MAN WHO CAME DINNER.
That movie is so entertaining.
I recorded MOLLY AND ME to watch later.

There is a difference between a movie score and a movie soundtrack.
A soundtrack usually refers to songs (usually pop songs) that are heard during a movie (often in the background).

coming soon:
THE MAN WHO CAME TO (get) SLIMMER, the sequel:
THE MAN WHO (be)CAME THINNER
I'm so glad to see this thread back again with new productions!
I love "coming soon" announcements.

Too bad.
Let's keep watching for BLUE VELVET.
I did confirm that it is still available for streaming on Netflix as speedracer informed us.

There's really not much more to this post, except to say that I will, I think, always remember some part of how ludicrous a two hours it was as I laid there- my electrolytes depleted, my joints aching, my head swimming with fever, my eyes unable to turn away a'la A CLOCKWORK ORANGE- watching GREASE 2.
I think at some point I started hallucinating and imagined the Smurfs were there with me watching it.
People doing peyote and watching THE WALL at 4:00 in the morning have had less surreal experiences than I did watching this film.
David Lynch can only dream of creating a viewing experience as insiduous, confounding and disturbing as I had that day watching GREASE 2.
I think it would fun to watch GREASE 2 with the Smurfs.
. . . if the Smurfs didn't frighten me.

Thanks, Holden.
Somehow I missed Roswell, maybe another WB show? I wouldn't have recognized Katherine Heigl, but can see it a bit. I loved Buffy. Mr. Gay D often watched with me, and we were both struck by the writing, wit, superb cast, and overall feeling of the show. The singing episode is one of my favorite hours of TV, ever!ROSWELL started out on the WB and later moved to UPN.
Here's a tribute video:

The Cranes are Flying, a Russian film from 1957.
The discerning and intelligent poster SansFin recommended it, the one and only time I believe TCM aired it. But I missed it , can't remember why.
If they ever show it again,this time around I'd make a point of watching it.
I will second SansFin's recommendation for THE CRANES ARE FLYING.
I saw it when it aired as a TCM Import.
I thank SansFin for mentioning it on these message boards.

The thing about a movie like GREASE 2 is that it's an easily available film that can be had on the cheap on VHS and/or DVD. You need not wait until TCM airs "Grease 2" (if TCM ever does) to see it. It can be bought for a low price on Amazon or eBay. Just pick a format.
I want to hear Robert Osborne's commentary about GREASE 2.
I already have the movie.

Apart from Stockard Channing, who I'm fond of, 'Grease' is a movie I have no use for. Olivia looks like a 35 year-old teenager for heaven's sake - and the less said about John Revolta, the better.
Now, 'Grease 2' - that I liked. I have it in my collection. Michelle - yum, she's cute and youthful.

So it's now gone?
Yes, BLUE VELVET was bumped in July and now has been bumped in October.
There a lot of David Lynch shorts still on the schedule for that day but BLUE VELVET is gone.

I was quite looking forward to seeing Susan Hayward's My Foolish Heart (1949) once again. She was nominated for an Oscar for this film.
Unfortunately, it has been pulled from both the U.S. and Canadian schedules of Thursday, September 3/4 at 5 a.m. in favour of They Won't Believe Me (1947). They Won't Believe Me was originally supposed to be on the 4th at 6:45 a.m. so there is some schedule juggling taking place.
The disappearance of My Foolish Heart is now one of those mysteries. It is a film that is now hard to come by.
I wish we could some specific explanation why certain movies are pulled.
BLUE VELVET was scheduled then pulled twice recently.

Anyone else experiencing no audio introductions on up coming films following a movie showing?
They've been doing the listing of the next three movies at the end of each movie with no audio during the entire month of this year's Summer Under The Stars.
I don't remember if it was done this way last year.

This thread has inspired me to dust off my copies of Dark City and Dark City Dames. They are worth another read. It's a pleasure to read something well written and researched, and a bonus when the author has such obvious zest for the topic. He lives the topic!
I'm especially interested in reading his interview with Jane Greer.

The Landauers has no relation to the subplots in either I Am a Camera or Cabaret. Isherwood approved Van Druton's free adaptation of his Berlin Stories into the plotted Am a Camera though no such plot was in his stories. He was satisfied with the stage play, I Am a Camera. He has been quoted as being mostly unhappy with the stage musical of Cabaret because Sally and Cliff were in a romanic relationship which his original homosexual character ( based on himself) was decidedly not. The film was more accurate in that the character is now at least bisexual. Perhaps the screenplay's " going back to the Berlin Stories" only meant making the Michael York character less exclusively heterosexual.
In "The Landauers" story Natalia Landauer beomes jealous over Christopher's friendship with Sally Bowles.
Isherwood comments something along the lines that a "heart to heart" talk with Natalia would proabbly shock her more than her thinking he and Sally were lovers.
This was likely a veiled reference to Isherwood's homosexuality.
One of the BERLIN STORIES is about a gay couple, Otto and Peter, although again nothing is explicity spelled out.
Clearly Isherwood liked that the character inspired by him was gay in the movie CABARET.
Even in his own BERLIN STORIES he could not be explicit about his own homosexuality.
He felt more freedom in his later writings.

Oh wow, that thread is from 2014.
What's up with that?

JACKIE BROWN has a great soundtrack.
I love the opening.

a few more trivia items copied and pasted from imdb:
At the 1972 Academy Awards Gene Kelly blanked* Malcolm McDowell because he was so offended by the graphic rape scene in A Clockwork Orange (1971) being performed to the song 'Singin' in the Rain'.*-no, I don't know what they meant by "blanked."I really want to know what "blanked" means.

The two actors who played Gladys Kravitz on BEWITCHED didn't look at all alike.

Ronald , Robert ... whatever. All I'm sure is Vivien Leigh was in it and it was damn good compared to this boring pile of mold. I never liked Mae Clarke. Don't know why. I love the grapefruit scene in Public Enemy and that scene in Frankenstein when the monster makes his way into the house.
If all you know is Vivien Leigh is in it are you sure you watched the movie?

I've never actually used the reminder feature but I'm tempted to try it now to see if it works.
Maybe someone from the TCM website can weigh in on this and reply to this thead.

Count me in as enjoying THE INVISIBLE WOMAN.
It makes me mad when people write off John Barrymore at the end of his career- because that is when some of (if not the) best performances he ever gave occurred (see also: MIDNIGHT and THAT THING WITH KAY KAISER.)
He was an utter hoot in this movie, loved how he kept saying "me" for "my"- never once in watching him would you guess he was thisclose to The End.
He may've been a pain to work with, but from what i saw, he was 100% invested in the part and he MADE the film.
I'm not very familar with Virginia Bruce but I did find THE INVISIBLE WOMAN amusing.
I especially liked seeing Margaret Hamilton in the movie.
The "Here Kitty" joke was preditable but still funny.

I didn't realize the Smurfs were that big.
Now they really frighten me.
