It doesn't matter, it is "burned in", in our gray matter.

If you read the website info for the survival movies series, it says "Peter Finch and Richard Attenborough head the cast for Flight of the Phoenix".
Well, yeah, but ...
A guy named James Stewart plays the central character! Maybe the guy writing the description had never heard of him?
It might be due to a technicality.
In the case of IMDB, they don't actually bother to enter the names in order. Instead, they assign a number to each actor in order of billing, and then it is assembled each time the page is visited. So an omitted or incorrect number would throw it off.

I come up with these two possibilities:
Paris Calling (1941)
Paris Underground (1945)edit for another - this looks closer
Reunion in France (1942)
-
Pete Smith Specialty w/ Dave O'Brien - Things We Can Do Without (1953)

Excerpt..
While execs want viewers to know it’s not a movie channel, they’ll draw from the heritage of Paramount Pictures for a halo effect, using cinematic tools of the trade for the net’s promotion, complete with fonts and camera angles familiar to film buffs.

Perfect gig for Sugarland's Bush Brothers. It isn't a movie channel without that.

I don't know how to dig up that info, so when was the last time they showed PRESSURE POINT?
I know they showed it once at least because it was on TCM that I saw it last. Just don't remember how long ago...

You don't need to dig it up, it would be a rather formidable task. Instead just look here:
http://moviecollector.us/reports/TCM_SCHEDULES_SUMMARY_alpha.htmPressure Point (1962) last shown 2012-09 (Sept 2012) and 2012-01 (Jan 2012).

No you don't-it's the worst picture in both their libraries.
I saw MY LITTLE CHICKADEE in the 70's and it turned me off to both West & Fields for 30 years. So glad my film group scheduled both artists' earlier films for me to realize their true cinematic gems.
Glad you recorded the whole block-I did too!Okay, is there anyone who DIDN'T record the whole block.

I'm pretty sure that Million Dollar Legs is a TCM premiere. I've recorded any and all of W. C. Field's films ever since I got TCM in 1996. Even their schedule states it as "TCM presents" versus the other films which TCM shows as "comedy".
I can verify that it has already been in the schedule. June 5th 2001, 1am (or late June 4th in and around the halls of TCM). An earlier W.C. Fields block.

What a theatre in Philly! The Academy of Music! Makes me think of The Phantom of the Opera. In fact, I'm getting leery just looking at that chandelier. Hold it, is it starting to swing?
Looks familiar. I think I have an LP or two that was recorded there.
Edit: this is it.
This was released in 1959. The mural below the chandelier in this picture is also in the recent pic above, on the ceiling facing the stage.

IMDb is only as correct as the crowd-sourced information it gleefully accepts free of charge from its benefactors and then considers to be its own proprietary info, which you now need to pay for (as in lists of movies produced per studio - among other things).
That could be a B&W photo. Also you may have seen a B&W print before, or maybe you saw it air on a B&W TV set.
I have thought about colorizing some more, and colorizing requires human intervention in order to be completed, and humans are imperfect and prone to oversight, inconsistency, or mistakes.

Everything looks correct about the link, so try giving your link its own line, and then hit Enter just after you paste in your link. The software upgrade needs for that to happen with embedded videos, so probably the same here for embedded links.
Also, don't hold down the Shift key when you hit Enter to embed the link. You can always hit the Backspace key and then hit Shift + Enter after your link is embedded.
Here's a neat theater website I had stored.

Yeah, ya know MCOH and come to think of it, I don't think they HAVE shown this one since Huntz Hall was SOTM back around '08 or so, huh.
(...maybe TCM'll show this baby again when Leo Gorcey gets his month...or maybe even Gabe Dell)
I'll take Bowery Boys any day. The ones where they are all together at Bernard Gorcey's (Leo Gorcey's real-life dad) sweet shop.

I think a more pressing question is "Why doesn't TCM show this movie anymore?" Someone started a thread two or three years ago asking the exact same question about the Cagney character's motives, and I noted on that thread that it had been at least five years since TCM had aired it. Well, now here's the same thread again, and it has now been EIGHT years since TCM has shown this thing. What the heck? It's WB. It's pre-1949. Presumably it's in the library. It was nominated for Best Actor and Best Director Oscars, but TCM never shows it during 31 Days. It's not on the schedule in the next two months for sure. Is there a rights issue with the author of the screenplay or something? According to MovieCollectorOH's database, TCM had shown it more than FIFTY times before they mysteriously stopped showing it eight years ago.
(Anyway, my opinion of the correct answer to the original question - I think that screen shot of Cagney's face above says it all)
Just getting back to say they showed it pretty consistently up to that point. A fairly even distribution over the years.

Not a bad thought I suppose, but you have to remember that tap shoes work a heck of lot better on hard surfaces than they do on carpet, right?!
(...and so a carpeted ceiling wouldn't make much sense in this regard, right?!)
Better WAF, no shoe marks.

Naah, I was just kiddin', MCOH.
And ya know, come to think of it, I now believe I might have stolen that line from Steven Wright.
(...it sounds like one of his jokes anyway, wouldn't ya say?!)
I thought it was so he could play You're All The World To Me and dance like Fred Astaire.

When I asked him why, he said, "It always drives those door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen absolutely crazy".
(...this was of course back in the day when there WERE door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen)
Shag carpet or indoor/outdoor?

I couldn't think of what "2 Stupid Dogs" was and then I watched the video you linked and I recognized them. I think this show aired with "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" at least that's when I think I would have seen this show. I seem to remember it airing on cable somewhere, like maybe TBS and there were other shows scheduled on there too, like The Brady Bunch and The Flintstones.
In the "2 Stupid Dogs" send-up of The Brady Bunch, I liked how they changed the hair colors of the kids and of course, they had to include the idea that Greg and Marcia were having some sort of relationship on the side. Barry Williams and Maureen McCormick did have a relationship during The Brady Bunch. I believe it lasted the Hawaii episodes through the episode where Greg and Marcia fight over the room in the attic. Technically, Greg and Marcia aren't blood related, so it wouldn't be incest persay, but it would still be weird if the characters hooked up. A Very Brady Sequel also included a storyline where Greg and Marcia were hot and heavy for each other, a situation made worse by the fact that they were sharing an attic room--with a very flimsy sheet serving as a barrier between them.
I like how Carol Brady is always portrayed with the shag haircut--which Florence Henderson only sported during a couple seasons of the show. Personally, I thought Flo looked pretty groovy with the shag haircut. I disliked her bubble flip hairstyle that she wore during the first season the most.
The doll "Penny Pees-a-lot" at 2:20, eaten by the dog, represents Cindy's doll "Kitty Carry-All."
Some stuff I noticed the kids say towards the end: "I learned not to get hit in the face with a football" (presumably from the episode where Marcia gets hit in the face with a football while playing with the boys. She spends the whole episode with a puffed up nose, worrying what others will think of her). Also "I learned that Jesse James is not a good role model" (this is the episode where Bobby gets in a bit of trouble for acting out the part of Jesse James). I seem to remember there also being an Andy Griffith episode where Opie does something similar. It threw me for a loop, but then I remembered the Bobby episode.
Unfortunately a short-lived series. Good talent but this was towards the end of the Hanna-Barbera company. P.S. You're right it came out between 1993-1995 and Captain Planet and the Planeteers came out between 1990-1996. I seem to remember them airing simultaneously on a Hanna Barbera show (just not enough material for a full show of its own).

When my parents bought their 1979 ranch house in 1993, they had the Harvest Gold formica with the Harvest Gold appliances. The appliances are long gone, but the formica still remains. I know that my mom would gut the formica in a heartbeat, but there is something to be said about the earth tones that were popular during the 1970s. I kind of like the colors and the shag carpet! Lol.
There are whole stores devoted to the purchasing of original or reproductions of linoleum and formica patterns from the 1950s-1970s.
I like it too! My grandparents had a place like that, and it would be nice to revisit though I know I cannot.
For now, as a carry-over from another thread, here is an homage to the Brady Bunch. A "2 Stupid Dogs" cartoon short titled "Family Values". [The big sheep dog is voiced by Brad Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond fame]

There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy. 24% remaining versus 10% remaining, and only over about a 10 year time period. I find it hard to believe that both of those figures are correct. * One of them probably isn't/wasn't.
