Good point, kingrat, about the cinematography. It's a very handsome production.
That's great that you were able to see this film with Christopher Plummer in attendance. I felt that same way last year when I saw Vertigo at TIFF, with Kim Novak present (and answering questions afterward).
I've seen a few references on these boards to Sean Connery being ill (dementia), but I can't find anything other than unconfirmed rumours about it when I google it. Would anyone know if Connery really is ill?
According to his Man Who Would Be King co-star and close friend Michael Caine, he is no longer in control of his faculties. That is what I read on Banis4's CANDIDS thread when he posted a picture of the two of them together on Caine's birthday.

I love MacDonald in her earlier days and I love the movies she made with Nelson Eddy. But I will watch Eddy on his own like in The Invisible man. I did not care for MacDonald later.
Really, though, it depends upon what mood I am in for music style.
Rose Marie is my favourite of the team's films together.
Rose Marie I love you...
When I'm calling you.........

My favorite British actor, Peter O`Toole will be shown tonight in LAWRENCE OF ARABIA 1962. I am not surprised that LOA made Peter a international star. He is excellent as T.E. Lawrence, and so handsome. After watching Peter in this epic, I watched many of his films. BECKET, LORD JIM, WHAT`S NEW PUSSYCAT?, HOW TO STEAL A MILLION, THE LION IN WINTER, GOODBYE MR. CHIPS, THE RULING CLASS, MAN OF LA MANCHA, ROGUE MALE, THE STUNT MAN, MY FAVORITE YEAR, SVENGALI (A TV movie with Jodie Foster), and VENUS.
I have seen more of Peter`s films, but these are the highlights.GOODBYE MR. CHIPS 1969 is underated, and I enjoyed Peter and Petula Clark likewise the comedy caper HOW TO STEAL A MILLION 1966 with Audrey Hepburn.
I am so glad that I finally saw Lawrence of Arabia and before O'Toole died. It had been long on my to-see film list. And then Omar Sharif died.
My 3 favourite O'Toole films are:
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT?
MY FAVOURITE YEAR

I can't remember anymore what the movie was that I was watching after watching Dial M For Murder even though I wrote about it in I Just Watched, but it had Jeanette Macdonald in it playing a real life opera singer opposite Lew Ayres and it was definitely OPERA singing. I enjoyed the movie, but I was not really paying attention to the plot. I am a fan of Nelson Eddy, but yes, I have to agree that I would have liked J.M. to be killed off in San Francisco.
There's a film noir title that should have been made:
To Be Killed Off in San Francisco

I haven't found a thread devoted entirely to the stage in this games and trivia forum. If there is one then I haven't found it. I don't know how many people on a website devoted to movies will know the stage, but I thought that I would give this a try.
I thought that I would create a thread for stage related trivia. I put Broadway in the title, but it could be RSC anywhere in the world or the west End in London, etc.
It could be musical or non-musical.
First question:
Which long time composing team created a musical which included a song about being born on February 29th and therefore having had only 5 birthdays though living for 21 years?

Princess;
I still haven't seen Change of the Light Brigade although it has been on my to-see list for a long time. I love watching David Niven and Errol Flynn together.
I love your category name "Isty Bitsy"
Carole Lombard was an excellent actress in every way and I adore what I've seen of her career and I am always looking for new to me movies of her career. A poignant film of hers considering her ultimate fate is Vigil in the Night

Tom, I'm another big fan of THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. Oswald Morris' great cinematography is another huge plus. Seeing this on the big screen at last year's TCM festival with Christopher Plummer in attendance was a special treat. The audience was very enthusiastic.
Lucky you!

According to the poster Barton Keyes in off topic he said Osborne had the flu but is now back to work. This was probably taped a few months ago.
Yes, I read Barton Keyes posts a lot since he knows a lot about what is going on behind the scenes and posts new TCM Canada schedules for us fellow Canadians on single pages that are easier to read than going page by page on the TCM schedule page.
There was a reshuffling of guest programmers because of Mr. Osbourne's illness and a lot of them have been postponed due to the scheduling conflicts between his illness and their schedules.
It is uncertain when or if the guest programmer Lou Gossett Jr. will happen at all.
I was just happy to see something new to me of Osboune's interviewing someone on TCM regardless.

Re: Night and the City:

I think you will love this movie.
It is another great example of how Richard Widmark sometimes played doomed characters.
And it is another great example of how boxing makes it way into film noir.
It was filmed in England and with food rationing Richard Widmark said he was always hungry and lost about 20 pounds.

RE: THE JUNGLE BOOK:
I have this book and read it. I know the big screen version with Sabu is for realistic. The animated version is my favourite because I love the music and I recognize the stars who were the voice characters.
