"And what's with the same old, same old horror movie retreads every Halloween?"
YEAH, obviously no halloween fans on programming staff !!
Horror fans will just have to get their freak on elsewhere.
(hopefully there'll be plenty of other networks willing to cater)
& nowadays, other sources as well....

at least it's not another of TCM's semi annual extravaganza d'butt-kissings of Clint Eastwood, but count me in as being less than thrilled with tonight's programming too.

..but were they as wild and crazy as Steve Martin?
from what little I've heard about Clara Bow, yes.

They say, Ruby you're like a dream
Not always whatyou seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so,I only know
Ruby, it's you
They say, Ruby you're like a song
You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you
I hear your voice and I must come to you
I have no choice, so what else can I do?
They say, Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I just don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby,it's you.Theme song from Ruby Gentry, 1952

"Ya can't go wrong in this town if you say
Yep to the right people and Nope to the rest."
HER LIFE WAS SLANDERED by the whispers
of a whole town.
Until A BULLET SCREAMED
Her STRANGE STORY to the world!
"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
it's JOAN CRAWFORD
As a woman whose past
caught up with her...
The revealing story of a woman who came
from THE WRONG SIDE OF LIFE,
but MADE LOVE on the RIGHT SIDE OF TOWN.
A STREET and a WOMAN you'll never forget!

Which may be why I've always found Gary Cooper and Gregory Peck to be among the dullest actors imaginable.
There's a naturalistic nature to Cooper's acting, so I give him a pass (although I understand why some don't care for him, and I have seen a couple of awful performances from him early in his career.)
But when it comes to Eldred, you and me are simpatico.

Yknow what? hooves or no hooves, and questionable choices in past spokespeople aside, i love jello. And I particularly enjoy jello based salads and desserts.@LornaHansonForbes:
I guess better rat poison than Jello.

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!

DETECTIVE BROWN:
Sister, I've known some pretty hard cases in my time; you make 'em all look like putty.You're not talking about a sack of gumdrops that's gonna be smashed -
you're talking about a dame's life!You may think it's a funny idea for a woman with a kid to stop a bullet for you, only I'm not laughing!
MRS. NEAL
Where do you get off, being so superior?
Why shouldn't I take advantage of her? - I want to live!
If you had to step on someone to get something you wanted real bad,
would you think twice about it? I don't care whether you dreamed up this gag or not;
you're going right along with it, so don't go soft on me.
And once you handed out a line about poor Forbes getting killed,
'cause it was his duty. Well, it's your duty too!
Even if this dame gets murdered.
DETECTIVE BROWN:
You make me sick to my stomach.
MRS. NEAL
Well, use your own sink.
And let me know when the target practice starts!

Hope that poor kid he made the rat poison remark to isn't still in therapy!!
Well, to be fair, I think there's probably at least a little Mercury or Rat Poison or industrial cleaning agent in everything we eat, so I call that remark fair game.
"Be grateful for the rat poison, kid! OTHERwise you'd be BARFIN' yer brains OUT from the E COLI !
MAYbe INSTEAD OF THE ICE CREAM you should switch to JELL-0. There's no RAT POISON in JELL-O! Just FRUIT and HOOVES!!...a rizza razza, ruzzah."

Timothy Carey is also in EAST OF EDEN as the bouncer for Jo Van Fleet's whorehouse. He got into a fight on set with Kazan.
He is also in PATHS OF GLORY as a crybaby soldier in a divisive performance, he got into a fight on set with Kubrick.
I think he also made an appearance on THE MUNSTERS. No word on whether he and Fred Gwynne got into it, but if they did I bet it was really something to see.
He is perfect in CRIME WAVE, which I guess I missed this g-round, but I saw it a while back on TCM and it is terrific )
edit- he is also in BAYOU aka POOR WHITE TRASH, which I sadly missed in its recent airing on TCM.

this is turning into quite the fascinating little thread, I hope it stays up.

Why in the hell would anyone request THE LAST OF MRS. CHEYNEY?
The only reason I can think of for wanting someone to watch it would be to put them in a coma.

Oh.

I saw Keith Andes in the musical WILDCAT,during it's Philadelphia tryout, and really liked it and him. I know he wasn't a big enough star, but I always wished he had done the film version of KISS ME KATE. Of course, I also wish anyone, other than Kathryn Grayson had done the film, as well.
Yes, please.

Otherwise you only have another three minutes to live!"

1. I just finished watching Clash By Night. I think I tried watching this movie once before and just couldn't get "into it." I'm sorry to report that the same happened again. Even Barbara Stanwyck and a young Marilyn Monroe couldn't save this movie. It was boring.
2. I've moved on now to Easy Living, a Lucille Ball movie that I recorded. It's got the icky Victor Mature (he's good in some of the movies I've seen him in, he's horribly unattractive to me though) so hopefully he won't ruin it for me. It also co-stars Lizabeth Scott, so we'll see how this goes.
1. YES! Clifford Odets- who wrote CBN- was the worst. There are very few classic movies that I hate and nearly all of them were written by Odets. Not only Can Stanwyck and Monroe not save it; neither can Robert Ryan nor the smoking hot Keith Andes- who is gorgeous and interesting in his part...he never made it big and later killed himself.
2. Several posts below this, please check out my review of EASY LIVING, I watched it yesterday. Kinky movie.

- I was afraid. For the first time in my life, I was afraid.
I felt you'd no longer stand by me.
That you'd leave me.-No, Martha, I won't leave you.
I love you.
Don't cry, Martha. It's not your fault.- It isn't, is it, Walter?
- No, nor mine.
Nor my father's,nor your aunt's.
It's not anyone's fault.
It's just the way things are.
It's what people want
and how hard they want it.
And how hard it is for them to get it.-
