I would imagine that samuel bronston wanted the boxers portrayed as essentially cowards.

a great, great, great, great film probably peckinpah's best, topbilled. so many great scenes and fun. gloria stivic ain't no friend to poor howard sprague. well, at least al lettieri threw him some chicken wings while he was driving.

I watched the conqueror last nite all the way through. I'm sorry but I doan think it's all that bad a film. name a better film about genghis khan. hey, it's no lawrence of arabia but it certainly better than that 1965 film with omar sharif. personally, I think wayne's portrayal is pretty good and susan hayward is smokin'. but certainly the film is nowheres great but just fair.

I think the opening in phoenix should be in 3D!

susan hayward is a tartar princess and the duke has got 'er! tonite at ten 'the conqueror' with john wayne as temujin, the genghis khan! preceeded by demetrius and the gladiators which is even more fun with jay robinson as that crazy caligula.

whatta jip. it's already been on TV.

I guess I'm just a bellyacher.

it ain't anywhere near december 7th or june 6th.

I forgot about Bye Bye Braverman being on late last nite. I was gonna get it on my vcr. nice goin', tcm. please schedule it better next time.

I hope it was nothing I posted.

man, she is beautiful in that shot. no wonder duke liked her.

doan tread on me?

what about Doan's Pills?

I remember that. I watched it and enjoyed it very much but tcm has yet to repeat such a feat. here with the passing of Jean Darling and Dickie Moore they have such an opportunity... but they won't. pardon me for saying this but I find it difficult to not feel disappointed by their lack of attentiveness to the historic golden age relevance of the passing of moore and darling.. but if tcm doan feel motivated to bust a gut to get a hold of some little rascals shorts to pay a proper and deserved homage to moore and darling... well, there it is.

our gang belongs to the later and for the most part unfunny m-g-m shorts produced by that fella mcgowran. in one short you have these two girls saying "Hal Roach presents his rascals." so the little rascals is not that altogether delegitimate. I watched tons of those little rascals shorts weekday afternoons on WPIX Channel 11 out of nyc as a kid. so tcm is gonna run some films with Dickie Moore like sergeant york? 24 hours of the little rascals would be better but what do I know? this is why great self-professed cinemaphiles like tcm should go right to the most knowledgeable source. couch potatoes like myself who gawked at the idiot box hours and years on end when we were kids. we know. the best way to pay tribute to Dickie Moore, and Jean Darling for that matter, is with a 24 hour little rascals marathon. tcm needs me to tell them that? Outstanding!

at ten tonite Monster on the Campus with Arthur Franz and directed by the great Jack Arnold. Troy Donahue is in it too. doan like this saturday's tcm selections at all so I'll take a primative fish's blood turning Franz into a neanderthal. a fairly good vttbots ep later on. some lobster guy from space manages to steal one of the seaview reactor's control rods and stick it in his capsule.

the passing of Dickie Moore just a few days after fellow little rascal Jean Darling calls for a tcm Little Rascals marathon. we certainly should get one but I expect we won't. especially considering that the little rascals is lightyears ahead comedy-wise of anything being made today. the little rascals if from hollywood's golden age so why not put it on? great fare.

the geek in the center pic kinda looks like dustin hoffman.

it's so true.

I always liked milner's screen persona. he woulda made a dam good starship captain.

but I'll bet you loved Dragnet.

I liked him as officer pete malloy and doan forget his last tv series, swiss family robinson on abc sunday nite's at seven.

I WANT MY DOLLARRR!!!" -Franklin Gibbs (everett sloane) Twilight Zone ep "the fever"

then let tcm show it and colorized prints of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and Chain Lightning also. give colorized films a chance. suppose, hypothetically, someone found a technicolor print of citizen kane. tcm would not show it to curry favor with black & white purists? tcm had been airing the colorized print of howard hawks' The Thing before they decided to chicken out.

that never occurred to me.
