I wish I knew just who it is in the programming department that loooves FORBIDDEN PLANET so much.
Is it just me or is tomorrow at 4:30pm like the ninth time it's been shown on a weekend?
I mean, at least THE THIRD MAN is good.
WE only get The Third man in Canada on Silver Screen Classics.

I prefer the later westerns where they good guys and the bad guys aren't as black or white and also looks at the causes for why things turn out the way they did.
Some of these started in the 40s.
but some of my favourites not yet included:
The Professionals
Once Upon a Time in the West
3:10 To Yuma
The Magnificent Seven
The Fastest Gun Alive

I saw your status update earlier this evening that you will be offline for a long time starting June 20th, but did not have time to respond.
Are you going on vacation, or is it work related?
In any case, enjoy yourself.

The success of The Hustler inspired a number of TV episodes:
"A Game of Pool", The Twilight Zone
"Hustling The Hustler", The Dick Van Dyke Show (not a very good episode)
A Get Smart with one of the all time greatest titles, "The Dead Spy Scrawls"
This episode aired the weekend MeTV paid tribute to leonard Nimoy (with the sunglasses) when he died.
They also aired his episode of Columbo a Stitch in Time, and the first time he and Shatner shared the screen in an episode of The Ma From Uncle.
I love The Twilight Zone episodes too.

Don't Bother to Knock (1952): Marilyn Monroe, Richard Widmark, Anne Bancroft, & Donna Corcoran (older sister of Kevin Corcoran from Swiss Family Robinson & Pollyanna). So far, so good.
Source: Netflix
This is one of my favourite film noir titles of all time.
Anyone who thinks that Monroe could not act in a drama needs to see this film.
Love Richard Widmark, of course he is one of my favourite actors of all time.

THE OUTFIT: as it aired on TCM as part of the late career of Robert Ryan.
I am so happy I saw this film as it aired.
The cast is an excellent ensemble of regulars of film noir and one of several films Ryan made shortly after his wife died to keep his mind off of her death.
Great film, great cast.
I think it is a one time viewing only for me.
I may watch it again if it happens to be airing at a time that works for me, but I won't seek it out again.
Fabulous. But one time only for the level of violence.

I perused the schedule and noted the films that immediately popped out at me. There are a couple performers I've never heard of (Constance Cummings and James Edwards) and others who I've heard of but am not familar with their work.There are some who I'm especially excited about: Lucille Ball, Anne Baxter, Jean Arthur, Montgomery Clift1 EDWARD G. ROBINSONThe Red House, sounds like a thriller and appears to be a premiere.Our Vines Have Tender Grapes, I've heard of this film, but have never seen it. I do enjoy Robinson, Agnes Moorehead and Margaret O'Brien.2 LUCILLE BALL (!)Beauty for the Asking, I've never seen this filmNext Time I Marry, This film was amusingThe Affairs of Annabel, I love this movie and have yet to get a copyThat's Right-You're Wrong, I haven't seen this filmFive Came Back, I'd love to see this film againA Girl, a Guy and a Gob, I haven't seen this movie3 BING CROSBYBlue Skies, I'd like to see this movie again. Though I think Desi Arnaz did a better rendition of "I'll See You in C-U-B-A"Going My Way, After scsu's wonderful review of this film, I'd like to see itThe Country Girl, I've been wanting to see this film for William Holden and to find out what was so great about Grace Kelly's performance that she beat Judy Garland for A Star is Born.4 FAY WRAY, I don't know much about Wray's films except for King Kong, which I'd like to see again5 KARL MALDENAll Fall Down, sounds like an interesting melodrama6 MONTGOMERY CLIFTThe Big Lift, I've never heard of this filmLonelyhearts, I haven't seen it and it also has another of my favorites: Myrna LoyRaintree County, every time I DVR this film, something happens to my recording. I'd like to see it for the before and after of Clift's face.7 JEAN HARLOWHarlow: The Blonde Bombshell documentary8 ESTHER WILLIAMSI'm not really a fan of Williams, I find her to be very stiff. I will give her films a chance however, if there's one of her movies that's really worth watching.9 TIM HOLTFifth Avenue Girl, Ginger RogersHitler's Children, Bonita GranvilleBoth of these films sound interesting because of Holt's leading lady.10 HEDY LAMARRCrossroads, William Powell film I haven't seenTortilla Flat, This sounds interesting and is based on Steinbeck11 SPENCER TRACYTracy doesn't do much for me unless he's paired with Hepburn whom I like.12 JANET GAYNOR?13 RALPH RICHARDSON?14 CYD CHARISSEMeet Me in Las Vegas- Charisse and Agnes Moorehead. I love Moorehead and am curious about her pairing with Charisse.Two Weeks in Another Town, Vincente Minnelli. I love Minnelli's films.The Band Wagon, this is such a great movie, I'd like to see it again. The only part I don't like is the "Triplets" song.

"Heavenly Music" from Summer Stock is #1.15 RODDY MCDOWALL?16 ANNE BAXTERAngel on My Shoulder, A Claude Rains movie I haven't seenThe Blue Gardenia, I really enjoyed this noir and would like to see it againThe North Star, This film sounded interestingChase a Crooked Shadow, This sounded like a fun suspense film17 JAMES EDWARDS??18 ANGIE DICKINSON?19 RUBY KEELERGold Diggers of 1933.

RE:
THE RED HOUSE:
I have seen this movie on Silver Screen Classics and it is EXCELLENT!
-
I saw this movie earlier tonight as it aired and a great cast it was - but a one time only viewing for me.
Way too violent to watch more than once for me.
You know, XXX isn't in the title for the violence, but it could easily have been in the title to warn people about the amount of senseless violence.
Me, I prefer The Burt Lancaster-Kirk Douglas version of Gunfight at the OK Corral.
And I can tell you a lot of this has to do with the fact that Deforest Kelley plays Morgan Earp in that film.

Now I remember-(thanx to other TCM-ITE'S sending in their pix as fav. *Francis Albert songs)
I only listed my own top (4) favs of his, leaving out #5
"It Was A Very Good Year"
"In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning"
"Summer Wind"
"One More for the Road"-(NOTE: It's this one especially, that gave him the rep of being a saloon singer)
"All the Way"
& "Angel Eyes"-(NOTE: Also check out the superb 1995 *Oscar winning "Leaving Las Vegas' where Sting covers this a lot)
& his *Academy Award-(AMPAS) winning songs:
*1957 "All the Way" from "The Joker Is Wild"
*1959 "High Hopes" from "A Hole in the Head"
& at present & of all fans, I currently forget if 1954's *"Three Coins in the Fountain" was him or not?
Please assist
& casting a vote for a friend of mine whom used to be within these forums-(HOLLY)
"Summer Wind" she always loved to clean her house to this #
(P.S. & who recalls "Mama Will Bark?"
Yes, that's him singing Three Coins in the Fountain for the movie Three Coins in the Fountain.

Here's the opening duet from the May 12, 1960 ABC special titled "The Frank Sinatra Timex Show: Welcome Home Elvis":
I think I've watched this video on VHS about 100 times.
-
You're welcome! The first time I ever saw the duet was when it was used in the 1981 documentary "This Is Elvis." I also never knew that Nancy Sinatra appeared in the TV special -- almost six years before the release of her No. 1 pop hit "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."
I own the VHS of that special.
Yes, I own VHS.

As I previously cited, he loathed Rock N'Roll, but, he knew he at this pt needed to also still reach a younger audience
They suggested he do a bit-(now a legendary number) w/Elvis Presley-(l935-77) he balked at the idea at first, unil they told him it would broaden his appeal, so he did it of course & all has seen that classic number between the 2 heavyweights. However, I don't think he ever associated w/Elvis again after that famous evening
For a man who loathed rock and roll, is it not ironic that he recorded TWO songs by the Beatles.
I thought that he had only recorded Yesterday, but Vautrin told me that he did actually record Something, as well.
The man knew great songs when he heard them - regardless of the style.

The Naked Spur
I just finished watching Ryan in the "Naked Spur" . This is the way I like Ryan the best, he plays a rascal so well that you can tell he is absolutely enjoying the part. As said many times before he can play it all. But I think he is best when playing the dirty rascal. I love him in this film, all of his films for that matter. The "Naked Spur" has to be my favorite performance of his. What a legend!!!!
The Naked Spur is one of my favourite Robert Ryan films.
I meant to watch it as it aired today, but I was busy, so I recorded it instead to watch later.
I think I`ve recorded over half of the films of Ryan`s SOTM so far whether the films are new to me or one of my favorites.
-
Oh, Jimmy Stewart.
I love Jimmy Stewart.
The first Jimmy Stewart film I ever saw was Harvey.
Stewart is the leading man in my favourite Hitchcock movie of all time - Rear Window.
It is also the only Hitchcock movie I have ever seen on the big screen.
I had to go into Vancouver to a big mall and go up an escalator to the top floor to see it .
And I may have mentioned that I have bad balance so I really WANTED to see it on the big screen.

LOL!
I am a major fan of both men, but I have to admit that if Yul had no hat on, I would have loved the movie even more!
