jamesjazzguitar, I'd add these films to your list:

"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.

"Pennies From Heaven" (1981) had disastrous test screenings with a "downer" ending, and a hastily tacked on "happy ending" was shot--film still lost over fifteen million at the box-office.

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.
