Thanks, Speedy. A few days ago, TCM showed the wartime musical "This Is The Army", with songs by Irving Berlin. In one scene, a radio announcer introduces a well known singer who will sing a "new" song. George Murphy, upon hearing the song, exclaims to Rosemary DeCamp that the song is not new. He and his army buddies were singing it twenty-two years prior. Can you name the song and the well known singer?
Is it How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning which Irving Berlin did for troops in WWI?
Irving Berlin is the one who played himself and sang the song If that is the one you mean

I had it listed in one of my categories, so I saw it.
Just wondered how many people wold understand the reference of my Bizarro award.

Sorry to have butted in, maybe loosing the equilibrium of the thread.
But, I think, Lawrence did answer the question. SO, it's his thread, if he wants it.
Lawrence is still up - -
Yes I know it was. But I wanted to post that it was an open thread in a separate post because it would be faster to read. That is what happens sometimes.
That is also why I finished Limey's response in The British Are Coming even though he answered 2/3 of it already.

How many of you have actually seen Marie Antoinette besides me?

I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but are you talking about Marilyn Monroe is Some like it Hot?
It's been a while since I have listened to the soundtrack, so I am not sure.

Sorry to jump the gun here, but here are my picks for Tuesday. Hey, in the East Coast, it is Monday, so Tuesday is tomorrow. It's only 10:15pm Sunday night for me.
Tuesday is an all day Gregory Peck tribute for his 100th birthday.
I always record Designing Woman each and every time it airs. I enjoy watching this film so much. I never tire of it. The story is fun. It's directed by Vincente Minnelli. Lauren Bacall and Peck are excellent and Bacall has the greatest costumes. This is such a fun film. I need to get my own copy. I'll probably record this film again.
The Macomber Affair sounds interesting. I like Joan Bennett and I like adventure films.
The Yearling. I'm going to record this film about a young boy's pet deer but I already have a feeling that it's going to be sad and I'm going to be depressed after watching it. Animal movies never seem to have a happy ending.
On the Beach. This is the film I'm the most interested in. I read in Ava Gardner's autobiography that this was one of her favorites of the films she made. Fred Astaire also mentioned in his autobiography that he enjoyed making this film because it was a change of pace for him. Of all the films I'm recording, this is the one that I really want to see.
Conversations with Gregory Peck. I love watching interviews. The anecdotes are always the best part.
I already have Cape Fear and To Kill a Mockingbird recorded.
I'm glad you brought this up instead of me, Speedy. Of course, me mentioning it first would have been overkill...
I'm watching TCM all day Tuesday. Then I am very dutifully attending rehearsal Tuesday night as I am singing a solo on Sunday morning.....
A full day of My Darling Greg.
Whatever am I to do...............................

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1969)
I watched this movie as it aired on Silver Screen Classics here in Canada.
I think I have seen this movie 50 times?
Fantastic western.
I love the cast, the screenplay, the music, the scenery - everything.

Sans,
Thanks for the recommendation for Five Miles to Midnight, I probably would have overlooked it, but with your recommendation I will DVR it and give it a shot. I like Sophia Loren and Anthony Perkins.
---
I may record The Trial as I enjoy Orson Welles' films and I also like Anthony Perkins.
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean sounds interesting. I like John Huston and I enjoy Paul Newman.
A Bill of Divorcement sounds interesting. I believe it is Katharine Hepburn's film debut.
---
I have seen Green Mansions. I'm sorry to say that I didn't get it. I didn't find it very interesting or entertaining, despite liking the cast: Audrey Hepburn and Anthony Perkins.
For sure record The Trial. As a fan of Perkins, Welles, and suspense and film noir, this film will interest you.
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean is quite enjoyable.
I did not care for Green Mansions either. But seeing it crossed off to-see films.
Basically tomorrow I am recording movies I have not seen which I will either not be able to watch as they air.
-
Five Miles to Midnight (1963) is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I like this movie very much. The pacing is slow but I found it compelling.
I watched it because I am a fan of both Loren and Perkins. I agree with your assessment of it. I'm glad I saw it. But it isn't what I would have expected from either star.

Duff an Lupino appeared in the same episode of Batman.

Re: Cockney accent:
I have no problem with British accents because I watch so much British mysteries.
\It drove me nuts when I borrowed a DVD of To Sir With Love from a friend and there were subtitles. I had to tape paper over the TV so I wouldn't see them.
-
I've been wanting to see Little Miss Sunshine for a long time. Eventually I will see it. Thanks, NickandNora.
As for Filmlover's take on the film he watched because of a review someone else gave, well....
I finally gave up on being able to appreciate why Blow Up was so important. I realize, however, that it is a famous film and the fact that people keep talking about it means there is something important about it.
I haven't seen the 1929 film yet.

When Tyrone Power was leant out to do Marie Antoinettte, it was expected that his role would be huge. Instead, his screen time was the equivalent of a supporting role and he was never loaned out to another studio again.

I am watching Once Upon a Time in The West as it airs on Silver Screen Classics.
I love this film.
No deleting any PVR title for me today.

The reason I added the title of The Invisible man for you Limey is so that if you were to post a new question without remembering it people would not be left hanging.

I may end up having to kick myself (or with Lady Felicia screaming at me) , but I don't know that one (despite having seen all of Brett's SH episodes), so I'll leave it open for anyone else to answer, or introduce a new question.
Unless I wake up at 3am, with the answer on the tip of my tongue...
Then I will answer it and let you post an new question:
It is "The Invisible Man" who could not be seen even though everyone was looking at him. He was the mailman.
The Mark Williams version changed the story in a big way.
Your Favourite Performances from 1929 to present are...

Morley only had the role in Marie Antoinette because Charles Laughton tuned it down. What a fabulous actor he turned out to be.
The score to Robin Hood is excellent.
I try to collect scores of as many films or composers as possible.
