DAYS OF HEAVEN (1978-Drama)

All the movies are 'Musicals' . . . but are you looking for an answer with more depth than that? (I've seen 4 of the 5 movies you listen; only 'STAR!" have I not seen).

THE BAND WAGON (1953)
Remember the scene where Fred Astaire goes to the "after party" . . . and he's the only one there -BUT- there is a veritable FEAST of food to be eaten! I hope the cast and crew had a good meal after Minnelli yelled "Cut!"
Next: A movie where a normally/dependably good actor "phones it in".

♣ A THOUGHT ♣
Perhaps TCM should consider a different type of 'content warning' -- the 'ANNOYING MOVIE WARNING'!
If ever I see these movies on the schedule they are an automatic 'channel flip': OBLIGING YOUNG LADY (1942), THE SHOW-OFF (1946) and CAT'S PAW (1934). I feel that unsuspecting viewers need to be warned about these irritating movies. 😖
IT'S A GIFT (1934) is also very irritating; no one I know would sit through "It's A Gift". I've seen it thrice and kind of enjoy it, but it IS a very annoying movie as W.C. seemingly lets everyone walk all over him and does nothing about it. I can't think of anyone I know who'd watch IT'S A GIFT all the way through - and it's not a long movie at 68 minutes.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON! IT'S THE 'ANNOYING MOVIE WARNING'! VIEW AT OWN RISK! ☢️

@Dargo; Maybe some suave Louis Jourdan, too. Why not? 🙂

I must say I've never heard of 'Amber E. George' or 'Charles M. Blow' -- but I wonder if I could join the New York Times staff and get $paid$ handily if I promise to find a *new* and *exciting* way to trash Speedy Gonzalez? 👍
→ If The Times will pay someone to write about Pepe Le Pew then maybe I can pretend to be a 'Highly-Educated Intellectual Type' and write twaddle about Slowpoke Rodriguez! 💰💰
BRING ON THE DAMN MONEY!
(EDIT: I've always thought Pepe Le Pew was an exaggerated parody of Charles Boyer instead of Maurice Chevalier. Heck, Pepe is probably a combination of both Frenchmen).

Speaking of BURL IVES . . .
Balladeer Burl recorded -- PROBABLY IN ONE TAKE WHILE DRUNK -- a hilariously awful version of the Bob Dylan song I'LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT on a 1966 LP. I heard this version from Burl because I ran across the 45' rpm single release from Columbia some 20 years ago and took it home to play it. All I can say is WOW! ( The "B"-side is equally rancid, btw. Some nothing song called "Maria, If I Could" that you'll never hear again anywhere, btw).
→ But Burl's version of I'LL BE YOUR BABY TONIGHT is so remarkably terrible and off-key it's AMAZING! 😜
Anyone reading this do yourself a 'favor' and head for YouTube and have a listen. It's only 2mins 11secs. 😵

Interesting points to note. The central plot of the movie is built on impulse; Joey says she and John Prentice met 11 days ago in Hawaii so that's a rather speedy courtship.
Anyway, I think ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO is quite a better movie in regards to interracial marriage.

I've not actually seen that episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, Dargo. I've only seen the re-created segment in the 1982 movie; but not the original as of yet.
