I think TCM should show Forever and a Day from 1943. The film was a historic attempt to bolster the British War Relief effort in 1943, Forever and a Day is a drama about the inhabitants of a magnificent English home, beginning in the early 19th century. This rarely-seen gem from England spans the years from Napoleon to World War II by following the fortunes of those who lived in a London manor house. Assembled by seven directors (Rene Clair, Edmund Goulding, Cedric Hardwicke, Frank Lloyd, Victor Saville, Robert Stevenson, Herbert Wilcox) and starring over eighty American and British actors, "Forever and a Day" is one of the largest and most powerful ensemble films ever made. The all-star cast includes Gladys Cooper, Donald Crisp, Ida Lupino, Merle Oberon,
Cedric Hardwicke, Cecil Kellaway, Elsa Lanchester,
Ray Milland, Claude Raines, Charles Laughton, Reginald
Owen, Isobel Elsom, Nigel Bruce, Gene Lockhart, June
Lockhart, Una O?Connor, Ian Hunter, Buster Keaton,
Montague Love, Walter Kingsford, Edmund Gwenn,
Dame May Whitty, C. Aubrey Smith, Queenie Leonard,
Brian Aherne, Victor McLaglen, Kent Smith as Gates T.
Pomfret, Ruth Warrick as Lesley Trimble, and many
more of the well known stars of the day.
It's an RKO film so I hope you can show it sometime. I would very much love to see this film. Thanks!
