"Yes, they talked of this woman, who came up from cheap honkyonks to take her place in society. In the grandest house on the smartest street in town!
on:
flamingo road
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.

Good luck, Holden and how are the other Caulfields, like Joan?
I'm not sure about Joan, but Phoebe is well.

I think it's a short? Dogs doing all sorts of hilarious things on their hind legs? Having duels, visiting saloons, starring in college football games? Any help would be sure appreciated. Cheers.

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.

You know, I was perusing through my battered, worn and beaten copy of INSIDE OSCAR yesterday and came across an amusing anecdote about Tor from the evening he won Best Supporting AcTOR for PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE at the 1960 ceremony.
The shindig at Chasen's was winding down ca. 4:00 am and people were waiting for their cars out front, when a sloppy drunk Shelley Winters- still brandishing her ANNE FRANK statuette in one hand and a bottle of Rye in the other- was stumbling out and screaming "ViTORio! ViTORio!"- looking for her wayward husband-d'jour (who, for the record, was giving a little lesson in Italian to a starlet over at the Beverly Hills Hotel.)
Well, Tor thought she was congratualting him in Italian, so he went over to give her a little (or, I guess as was the case with TOR, big) hug, and Shelley takes one look at him, screams bloody murder, and piles into a limo with a very confused Jennifer Jones and David O. Selznick, ordering the driver to hightail it out of there.
What a night!
It's a shame none of these post-Oscar events were captured on film.

Hush, Hush, Sweet CharlotteHush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies
Oh, hold him darling
Please hold him tight
And brush the tear from your eye
You weep because you had a dream last night
You dreamed that he said goodbye
He held two roses within his hand
Two roses he gave to you
The red rose tells you of his passion
The white rose his love so true
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies
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.

This thread reminds me that I am not such a fan of the Guest Programmer concept. If they would just have regular viewers as the programmers, then I would be more inclined to tune in. I suppose I am in a minority, but that's how I feel. Also Cosby has not been convicted of anything, has he? As I mentioned previously, nobody seemed to care when it was Bill Clinton. How sad that people think a comedian should be held to a higher standard than the President of the United States! It taints nothing for me, about Cosby, because, other than I SPY, I never really liked him.
Clinton was never accused of rape.
Cosby is accused of non-consensual sex.

Thanks for the explanation. It seems that pixels are not all created equal.

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.

Just a mish mash of titles.with no.discernable pattern,.although this data CAN be used to discern TCM viewing trends and patterns.
1. TOR LATE FOR TORS
2. YOUNG TORLESS
3.
4. THE TOR ALSO RISES
5. THE TOR FROM ANOTHER PLANET
6. I WAS A MALE TOR BRIDE
7. THE TORK HORSE
8. GABRIEL TORVER THE WHITE HOUSE
9. SINCE TOR WENT AWAY
10. THE PRINCE AND THE TORPER
I think the original title of this movie was THE PRINCE AND THE TORPOR (or maybe that was the British title).

As Mark McPherson once said: "A dame in Washington Heights once got a fox fur out of me."
Yes, and Waldo made sure that Laura knew that Mark used those "very words."

I produced the kids' show "Picture Pages" with Cosby when he was post "I Spy" and pre "The Cosby Show." He would show up once a month, we would shoot several of the shows and he would go away. On every occasion he brought a new "girlfriend" with him. So much for the great family man. He had a habit of saying some very weird things to the kids on the set. The shows were
aimed at pre-schoolers and we were generally shooting anywhere from 1 - 5 kids per show with Cosby. One time he told a 4 year old that the ice cream he was eating had "rat poison" in it causing the child to totally flip out. (And, me too.) Very, very disturbed guy! Anyone who ever worked with him professionally knew he was A: A serial cheater and B: A legend in his own mind. When all of these stories came out about drugged and raped women I thought: "Sounds like Cosby to me."

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

And here I was giving you credit for coming up with a wonderfully sneaky double-entendred title. I thought it was deliberate and was quite pleased about the wit and imagination you'd displayed.
Now you say it's accidental? That's disappointing.
Yes, I was also disappointed to find out that this wonderful play on words was unintentional.

Monday, July 27th--all times E.S.T
6:30 p.m.--"The Sorcerors"--(1967)--- Boris Karloff directed by the talented Michael Reeves, who directed only 3 films & died much too early at 25. Reeves' last film was "The Conqueror Worm" (1968).
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.

I thought the Production Code banned sotm-izing.
It could only be depicted off screen.

Here's KC Confidentail himself in all his glory.
The STAR WARS prequels

My mother's story about seeing the first STAR WARS movie in a theater during its original release was similar to yours.
She found the movie boring. She said she tried to enjoy the score but ended up falling asleep.
