Sunday, Nov. 22; All times E.S.T.: 2:00 p.m. "The Pirate"--(1948)--Judy Garland , Gene Kelly in a musical farce; score by Cole Porter. 10:15 p.m. "Duel in the Sun"--(1947)--Gregory Peck & Jennifer Jones are unusually animated in this film that was popularly known as "Lust in the Dust" after release.

jamesjazzguitar, I'd add these films to your list: "I Am A Camera"--(1955)--Based on Christopher Isherwoods' " Berlin Stories"--Julie Harris and Laurence Harvey also star. "Mambo"--(1955)--Account of filming this is in her autobiography "Shelley; Also known as Shirley (1980). I So want to see this! "The Scalphunters"--Western romp that's a delight. Burt Lancaster, Ossie Davis, & Telly Savalas co-star.

AndreaDoria--Yes, I was up to see "Ship of Fools" (one of the few Vivien Leigh films I hadn't seen) & decided to give this a try, By the way--film Comcast in East TN showed was titled "Blood Kin"--an alternate title for "The Last of the Mobile Hot Shots"--so I don't know if we saw Exactly the same film or not. Anyway--Atmospherically, Williams had the opening five minutes of the film caught: the Rural South in the 50's or 60's ; the camera takes you into what looks like a revival tent, but is instead a furniture store owner running a game show to publicize his furniture store. Then the plot takes over, and--the only thing that kept me watching was Lynn Redgrave. She had the part of a dimwit who Never shuts up down cold, and she was funny during the first forty minutes. I'm Guessing she put her voice in falsetto so she would sound younger; she speaks incessantly of going to Hollywood in films' first fifteen minutes. I gave up on "Blood Kin" when the whatever percentage brothers started yelling at each other, so I missed Redgraves' screeching. "Blood Kin" was a big disappointment.

1916's "The Good Bad Man" is from a 2014 restoration, according to TCM's article. The article on 1926's "The Black Pirate" is One sentence long--I suspect it is from a restoration job also, as all other featured movies have an article. Thank you gagman66 for your post on these films.
