That's my favorite line from the trailer. I love the distinction being made between the cheap honkytonks and the sophisticated ones.

Thanks to everyone who recommended PENNIES FROM HEAVEN in this thread. From the comments posted here, it does sound like a truly unique movie and one that I would have missed based just on the brief description that appears with it on the TCM schedule.

I'm not sure about Joan, but Phoebe is well.

I give Lucas credit for making the movies he wanted rather than letting audience testing force changes ( a la the ending of FATAL ATTRACTION). Many people were clamoring for Jar Jar Binks to be slaughtered in the final prequel movie (REVENGE OF THE SITH) but Lucas held to his vision.

BLUE DENIM This movie has never been released on video. I don't think it's ever aired on TCM either since there is no TCM article about it.

Mickey Kuhn, who played young Walter in THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS, later played the sailor who helps Blanche DuBois when she arrives in New Orleans in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.

It's a shame none of these post-Oscar events were captured on film.

Is everyone ready for HUSH . . . HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE on August 2?

My suggestion is not an idle one. I'm asking TCM to acquire the rights to the Fox movie BLUE DENIM, which has never been released on video. It has aired recently on FXM but I've discoveed that I don't have that channel (no subscription or some such message is on the screen). My understanding is that FXM interupts its movies with commercials.

Clinton was never accused of rape. Cosby is accused of non-consensual sex.

Here's what the real Fanny Brice and Nick Arnstein looked like: Apparently Arnstein really did have seven toothbrushes. His father’s (Jules “Nicky” Arnstein) real problems started in 1919 just before Brice was born. “Nick”, as most called him, had two penchants in life—for opulence and for getting rich the easy way, which was the cause of his troubles. Brice’s father was a suave, professional gambler. Fanny and Nick met in Baltimore one evening in 1912. She was on tour and he was there for the racing season. One of Fanny’s show girlfriends was desperate for company and she dragged a reluctant Fanny to a foursome blind date with Nick and gambler pal. “Did I get born!” Fanny remarked about her first encounter with Nick to her biographer. She was just twenty-one and fell for his elegance: his handmade silk shirts, his monograms, his English leather nearly everything and his seven toothbrushes. Whenever Nick saw normal, 9 to 5’ers rushing to or from work, he called them “suckers”. Eventually, though, Fanny came to understand that Nick was not just a gambler, but also a con artist and a thief who wasn’t capable of running a business in the straight world. She forgave him the first time he went to prison for swindling in 1919, but not the second time. By then they had two children and Fanny had had enough. This excerpt is from an online biography of Fanny Brice's son William. (He apparently went by William Brice rather than William Arnstein.) Brice and Arnstein had two children although in FUNNY GIRL and FUNNY LADY they have only one child, a daughter Frances. Frances was married to Ray Stark, who produced FUNNY GIRL and FUNNY LADY.

I think the original title of this movie was THE PRINCE AND THE TORPOR (or maybe that was the British title).

Yes, and Waldo made sure that Laura knew that Mark used those "very words."

I see BLUE DENIM is on FXM again. I've learned that I don't have FXM is my cable package. I can go to the channel but there's a message that I don't have a subscription (or something like that).

I missed this one. I hope TCM airs it again.

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They used to show PICTURE PAGES on Nickelodeon.

Yes, I was also disappointed to find out that this wonderful play on words was unintentional.

I missed THE SORCERERS the last time it aired on TCM. I'm glad we didn't have to wait too long for it to air again.

It could only be depicted off screen.

Here's KC Confidentail himself in all his glory.

I'm not a big Fred Astaire fan, but I do love SWING TIME. I like Ginger Rogers a lot and the movie is so much fun. I really enjoy the "A Fine Romance" scene.

Yes, yes yes! The silent version of BEN-HUR with Ramon Novarro is so much better than the later version. (This photo is not from BEN-HUR.)
