Tuesday/Wed., Oct.10th/11th--All times E.S.T.--Most interesting film is hidden in the early a.m.
2:30 p.m. "Bed of Roses" (1933)--fast moving Pre-Code comedy drama.
2:30 a.m. "Princess Tam Tam" (1935)--Musical adaptation of Pygmalion, starring Josephine Baker. I've never seen her, but she was a fine singer, and primarily a stage performer. She only made four films, according to TCM's webpage on her.

Lavender--Anne of the Thousand Days (1969) was one of the other ones I thought of.
According to TCM's webpage for White Cliffs of Dover, Taylor is billed 14th.
The other film I thought of was "Quo Vadis" (1951).
My source--Dick Sheppard's 1973 biography of Elizabeth Taylor.
Your Thread, Lavender.
-
Lavender--In "The White Cliffs of Dover" (1944), Taylor got 14th billing. Now I don't remember if the credits for "Jane Eyre" credited her or not--I count that correct. Both of the other films were filmed when she had reached adulthood.
-
In what two films does Elizabeth Taylor appear as an uncredited extra?
-
Telephone Operator
Next--ERTRRAISFTE

"She" (1935)
Next--Hungary

I saw four movies for the first time the last two weeks.
"Hurry Sundown" (1967) was one of the films in the book "The 50 Worst Films of All Time" (1978). Film is overlong. sprawling, badly edited, with too many plot threads set up and then forgotten, and characters that just disappear from the film. Still, there are fine performances from Jane Fonda, Madeleine Sherwood, Michael Caine (although his accent is a hilarious flop in the films' beginning, and never gets past generic Southern) and Diahann Carroll in this portrait of 1946 Georgia, just before the Civil Rights movement. Very worth the watch.
"The Brides of Dracula" (1960)--Fun Hammer horror entry in their vampire series. Peter Cushing is a fine Van Helsing, Yvonne Molniaur is a good damsel in distress, Martita Hunt is very good at suggesting past depravities with her vampire son and expressing remorse. A fun watch.
"She" (1982)--Plotless, incoherent movie is like H. Rider Haggard for early 80's MTV. There are no performances to speak of, and no direction; film just puts in as many references to old movies as possible. My favorite scene recreates scenes from "Gone With the Wind" and werewolves.
"No Orchids For Miss Blandish" (1948)--Overacted, overemphatic British noir that makes the Horrible mistake of having British actors try to sound like New Yorkers. It doesn't work. Nice musical score, and two songs whose lyrics have suggestions of "odd" behavior. The horrid reviews this received must have been partially for the novel. Robert Aldrich remade this as "The Grissom Gang" (1971).
Most favorite--"The Brides of Dracula" (1960).
Least favorite--"No Orchids For Miss Blandish" (1948).

Lavender--You have the first part of the question correct. You have the second show correct (My goof about the timing--I apologize for throwing you off), and the author correct.
Lawrence has the director correct.
In Salem's Lot, Windsor and Cook played a couple--their relationship was more detailed in the book.
Lavender, I didn't ask for the directors--they were my first hint, which I worded ambiguously.
Lavender, Your Thread.
Lawrence, my apologies if my wrong timing threw off your guess(es).

Lawrence--I'm not sure. I thought of mid 50's common words in titles, and Creature (like Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Atomic were the first two words i thought of--the rest Sounded right.
So, let me try this: second word's not from..... no ic.....zombies want brains.....Brain
Creature With An Atom Brain?
