But on "Movies", tonight at 8, is HEAVEN CAN WAIT (1943), from Lubitsch
must've missed that. I might watch. that's a good movie to check out the technicolor hues on your TV.
-
same old story, nuthin' on tcm, movies!, amc, etc. alotta cable channels like to throw these old 1960s tv westerns at us on saturdays. that crap is bad enough during the week.
so for me today it will be two good eps of leave it to beaver from five to six on antenna tv, then acquanetta'a 2nd gorilla babe flick at ten on svengoolie followed by the always dependable lost in space and voyage to the bottom of the sea.
also gonna see if I can lasso chappie. -
whatta talky waste of time. only thing to do is gawk at the incredibly gorgeous ursula thiess.

I'm curious - is this about the cream-of-the-crop in Bowery Boys movies? Or is there a better one?
sat through The Bowery Boys Meet The Monsters and dam well wish I hadn't. found it totally unfunny. a man-eating plant, a gorilla, john dehner and a robot. nothin.
there are certainly much funnier bowery boys movies out there like Mr. Hex with byron foulger and the one where sach's mind winds up in the body of a neanderthal. that one is a riot especially when slip tries to push around sach.

john nesbitt's passing parade: our old car or the great morgan.

I like the old universal logo from the early 1940s with the bold commanding music.

Hot Spell (1958)
have absolutely no idea why it is no longer shown. none. it's like tcm forgot it exists.
this film cries out to be shown again by tcm.
why? why is it now gone?
so why would such great professed cinemaphiles like tcm be ignoring this film?
nitrate disintegration has not claimed it so...
tcm oughta be showin' it.
why aren't they?
only the ghost of Jack Duval knows why.

that's looks like miss crabtree.

And I went to Arnold Stang Pyrotechnic.
-
Yes, I noticed it was absent from tonight's schedule. I have to admit that SKIDOO is a guilty pleasure (I do find it far-out fun).
the opening is interesting. Gleason, Arnold Stang, Carol Channing and a remote controlled color TV.
-
and they are properly respecting the great one by not showing skidoo.
the film is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
when anyone tries to sit through skidoo they err...
skidoo.

Over the years Disney has proved to be very protective of their library of films, I doubt the studio gave TCM its own key to the vault. You can bet that the deal they have with TCM is already "carved in stone" with specific titles already chosen and approved by Disney.
no doubt about that I be sure.
-
I see that TCM hasn't aired any of them since 2003. The production company was Pyramid Productions, it was distributed by RKO. So it may not have been part of one of the packages Turner purchased back in the 80s or more recently.
I'm sure they have aired up with maisie recently. she's flyin' a corny helicopter.

this one is hotter than the gun moll with the smoke. hooray for radiated giant babe art.

I thought michael moore's fahrenheit 911 was hilarious.

a harmless diorama model of a famous movie monster...

I thought that is the nuclear facility we are selling the Iranians to keep them happy. It looks so realistic, lol.
hey, it's the irwin allen future where everything is simplified.
imagine using one of them control rod props as a big ol' lightsabre.

what hollywood needs to put out is an old school science fiction movie with men in charge. something believable for a change.
-
I already seen it on TV.
nuts to that.

Gene Wilder as Dirty Harry...

I really enjoyed John Frankenheimer's The Young Stranger last week with a young James MacArthur but then I always do. the following year MacArthur starred in a disney vehicle set in pre-revolutionary colonial America as an abducted white youth raised by indians who as part of a treaty agreement is returned to his white relatives.
The film is of course The Light in the Forest directed by Hershel Daugherty and also stars Wendell Corey, Joanne Dru, Fess Parker and Carol Lynley.
Any chance of tcm getting a hold of that?...
or do I ask too much?
another rotten saturday
