One of my fave Blake Edwards movies....and when I originally saw it theatrically, I didn't care for it. It's wickedly funny...in fact, I think some of Blake's best films are the ones he did in the late 70's-80's, starting with "10" (which some consider to be his finest film....and it's also one of my two fave films of his, the other being Victor/Victoria).

Other cast members still alive are Richard Anderson (Chief Quinn) and Robert Dix (Crewman Grey). Some of the other younger actors who were crewmen may also still be around, but these two are certainly higher up in the credits. Quinn is the ship's communications officer, and Grey is the one who gets stepped on by the Id Monster.
I also just read (horrors) that a prequel/remake is in the works for 2013. Presumably it will dramatize what happened to the Bellerophon group prior to the arrival of the ship in the 1956 classic, and continue the story from there.

You're right...I don't try the email reminders that often, but the last couple of ones that I did never showed up in my email...not even in my spam folder.
Something is NOT right with the email reminder system here.

"Tape"? You're using outdated, dead technology....certainly the format....and need to get a DVR which WILL record an entire marathon.
BTW...T160 VHS tapes could record up to 8 hours.

@the complainers:
You DO have one of these that came with your tv, don't you? It's called a remote control. There are two buttons on it: Channel up, and Channel down. They change the channels. Try using them once in awhile.

LOL....good one. They NEVER get a shopping bag big enough to set the bread down into, or have the bread wrapped or anything. It ALWAYS has the end sticking out....and it's usually a large loaf of Italian bread, too. Never anything like Wonder Bread, etc.

Well...according to the schedule it was:

Hollywood Scout (1945)
"One of Pete Smith's assistants auditions animal acts for his short subjects."
Amazing what looking at the TCM schedule will turn up. :-)

You're kidding, right? SAP audio has been around since the 1980's.....for at least 25 years.

Yeah, the movie where everyone who worked on it died from cancer...because some idiot decided to film it on a former nuclear test site, and the radiation left behind was the reported cause of the cancer.
-
"Camera angles have changed"? NOT possible. Ridiculous.
This thread is a major joke, right? Should have been titled "Scrooge - A Trolling Thread".
Either a couple of those who have commented here are either completely uneducated or simply utter idiots.

Technically, they're not really "bootlegging" per say, but illegally making movies available on the web.

Aawww, Hamradio....that IS the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. Classic.

Yesterday I watched the DVD of Victor/Victoria with the commentary track featuring Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews, which was fantastic to hear for the first time. Something TCM should consider for some of its movies, when it's available because of a DVD release, is to have audio commentary on the secondary SAP audio for viewers to choose from. That would be a nice feature to have available on TCM.
-
Exactly....this is NOT the place for discussion or "promotion" of bootlegging. That's not to say that some here don't deal in such things, just that such things should NOT be discussed here.

Oh, I'm sure I've see a lot of aluminum trees in many movies over the years, as well as various tv episodes and specials...don't forget the bit with the aluminum tree in "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Classic stuff.

Whine, whine whine...if you don't like the programming, then don't watch it. Jeez, I can't believe how so many people here simply complain about the TCM programming not being the way THEY want it to be ALL the time.
"You can satisfy some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time...but you can't satisfy all of the people all of the time".
Can you?

Yeah, we used to have one in our family when I was a kid for many years...color wheel and all.

You gotta stop mentioning that site when you do now and then, because they do NOT have just "free" movies which are public domain...they mostly have COPYRIGHTED movies, and they are a torrent sharing site which would NOT like their name being spread on a major internet board like this.

I agree....aside from Cabaret, Arthur and Junie Moon, I also think she's overrated. I think part of her appeal seems to stem from the fact she's the daughter of a true legend, and Liza also has has problems with pills and booze like her more famous parent.

Herk Harvey and his seminal classic Carnival of Souls...definitely an influence on George Romero's classic Night of The Living Dead, which was made just a few years later.
-
Even though she was more of a tv performer than a film actress, she DID do some good movie roles over the years, and Yes...I agree she should have been included.

> You should check out ANOTHER good, if not great version - the 1999 TV movie that stars Patrick Stewart. It will be on TNT on December 21, and is well worth the effort.....
I just watched that again the other day and I also really enjoy it...the different thing about Stewart's portrayal of Scrooge is that, instead of the usual (almost stereotypical) depiction of Scrooge simply being mean, Stewart's Scrooge is a man who is hurting and in emotional pain. He's not just over-the-top nasty, but a man who has been hurt by others and by life and even says to the charity collectors who visit him "I wish to be left alone"...and says it with hurt in his voice.
Remakes that people don't realize are remakes

Just in general, regarding this thread's subject:
Long ago it was said that there are only 100 or so movie plots in existence...and every movie is basically a remake or redoing of a previously existing film.
