I'm for it! at least as many times as The Third Man.

to anyone's knowledge, is HOT SPELL being shown anywhere on cable? "a simple question for simple people." -Curley Howard

my single typing finger would suffer.

doan forget James Mason as Captain Nemo.

undeniably the best screen performance of Genghis Khan.

they'd hafta show Hot Spell then, wouldn't they?

let me just say this... it has been my honest belief according to my recollection that hot spell has aired on tcm, if I be wrong, prove it to me because my personal belief that tcm should air hot spell again would change. but until this is proved or disproved, I will continue to recollect hot spell as a long unseen commodity of tcm... besides, if...IF tcm has never aired hot spell....they should. maybe tcm can't get a hold of hot spell due to contractual issues which has been pointed out to me by some posters... but I will NEVER believe that tcm should not be showing hot spell due to the film's significance as an early vehicle for Shirley MacLaine and it's cast but surely as one of Shirley Booth's few films. you know, tcm not showing a lot of films is one thing because tcm knows that they will show up somewhere else like movies! or even amc but other than the web I have not seen hot spell aired anywhere else.

HOT SPELL... "Let the name 'HOT SPELL' be unheard and unspoken. erased forever from the memory of men." -Seti (Cedric Hardwicke)

...not for sale.

a great moment from hot spell recreated... Jack: "you're nothing but a dumb shirt-tailed kid! you're not as smart as me. you never will be as smart as me and that's a fact!" Buddy: "I'm a man! and you treat me like a kid!

when???... and how many times??? should be easy to be specific.

may I ask on what channel it was aired?

yeah, they did that too with an episode of voyage to the bottom of the sea guest-starring Michael Ansara. of course, vttbots co-star David Hedison was Mr. Ware in The Enemy Below.

"I'm with the chief." -Chino (Lee Marvin) that's what I would suppose. now, if someone can authoritatively prove beyond any doubt that hot spell has never aired on tcm then I will certainly reflect honestly on what evidence of that they can provide. so until then I say hot spell aired on tcm numerous times more than ten years ago... but why the disagreement about whether or not hot spell has ever aired on tcm?... because if it ever did, that means for more than a whole decade now, tcm has ignored a significant film, and such great professed and expert cinema aficionados like tcm aren't supposed to do that...ignore cinema.

well, it was either tcm or amc or both.

didn't like The Hunters much at all, Powell was trying to channel James Michener or something. always enjoy The Enemy Below and also watched Split Second and really enjoyed it. doesn't your heart just go out to Alexis Smith's character? when murderous psycho Stephen MacNally finally gets the car unstuck and hightails it back to the ghost town and the bomb detonates, did anyone catch the car being blown away? good special effect.

my friends, you have heard earnest truthful testimony from me... can you prove that it didn't happen! -criswell

hot spell had been posted on youtube (now removed) in nine parts. that file was sourced from a dvd from some low-budget distributor. another grab I made was a tvrip off some spanish-speaking cable channel (pelicula) with their logo in the lower right corner. another file I grabbed was a vistavision formatted webrip. I probably did watch hot spell a number of times on amc but I also recall seeing it numerous times on tcm. maybe I'm wrong but to the best of my recollection hot spell has been shown on tcm.

maybe somebody could ask about hot spell on the tcm classic cruise. surely bob and ben know of this film.

no.

documented proof that tcm knows this film exists.

does the milland hallucination in lost weekend of the bat eating the mouse in the wall qualify as horror? it scares the hell outta me.
