Maybe as a palate cleanser, or a wicked counterpoint, TCM is showing a full day of Hitchcock movies starting at 5 pm, PST (Now, whose sardonic take on the world I wonder could account for that?). I don't know of any Hitchcock movies that take place in winter, let alone center around Christmas. Come to think of it, almost any kind of bad weather, rain, snow, heat, is absent from his movies--perhaps as a as a consequence of his sunny disposition. True, a lot of times it's night.
Maybe we're supposed to work out hidden themes in his movies. Lemme see. . . .so Thornhill's flight across America could be symbolic of Santa's Christmas Eve ride, only he ends up getting the present, instead. There aren't too many families in his movies that could be taken for the Bethlehem Trio, and nothing in a manger, but the building where the Lawrence kid was held captive in The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) was pretty mangy. Ingrid Bergman always seemed elfin to me. Wonder what else I can think of?
Trying to think? Most still don't know that the vast majority of his arliest U.S. produx were actually done at the still-standing "Culver Studios only a stones throw away from the grandest of all "Dream Factories" in MGM. *Selznick ot lots of *"GWTW"-(all fans can now see it the façade of the legendary mansion, but from behind gates)
he also filmed "Last of the Mohicans" (l936) "Little Lord Flauntleroy" "King Kong'(l933), *"Rebcecca" "portrait of Jennie" even much of "KANE" was done there & RKO Radio. "Notortorios" "Spellbound" "Since You Went Away. Lucybought "Culver Studios" bought hersef over from RKO & did "I love Lucy" there-(she bragged she bought out *David 0.

There are actors who are paired up often in "buddy comedies" (e.g. Mark Wahlberg & Will Ferrell; Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker) but I wouldn't say that they have the same type of chemistry that Flynn and Hale have. These actors are just funny together. Of course, this isn't to say that no actors today have chemistry with one another, because there has to be someone. With Flynn and Hale, you can tell that they truly have fun with one another. Even though it's a different type of relationship, a pairing like Bogart and Bacall, you can tell that they care for one another, they're not just two actors pretending to be in love.

Interesting. As you know Flynn is often knocked for not being good actor and Gable was the King.
As it relates to acting, I wouldn't say one was better than the other (both good), but Gable's showed some chops in some of his later films (like his last one), when Flynn was sadly too out of it to give a great performance.
As for their looks? Flynn over Gable, by a ear (or make that a pair of them!).
Flynn could be a very good actor, but *Gable stretched like never before in "The Misfits"

SCARLET STREET (1945)
Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Dan Duryea, and Margaret Lindsay.
I was thoroughly impressed by this film. It was quite thrilling to see Robinson in a role other than the gangster. Robinson was a working-man with a shrewish wife, who ended up falling for a girl with a beautiful face and ugly morals (Joan Bennett). Is it wrong that I absolutely loved Joan in this? She was very good, in my opinion. This is the first of her films that I've seen; I've seen about 2 of her sister's (Constance Bennett) movies, though. Joan's oily, no good boyfriend, (Dan Duryea) is short on cash, and convinces her to cajole Robinson into giving her money. Ultimately, certain persons get their comeuppance (I don't necessarily condone the events that unravel at the end, but let's just say they had it comin').
I also really liked Margaret Lindsay. I have seen her in "A Tragedy at Midnight" (1942) when TCM showed it in the past; I really wish she had become more popular than she had, because she certainly had talent.
"The Woman in the Window' is better though

The bust that was returned to the British Embassy was sent on loan to Bush 43 by Tony Blair after 9/11. I guess W. didn't get around to sending it back. Of course, he had a lot of other things on his mind -- like his sub-30 percent approval rating.
I personally rank Churchill as easily among the greats though! He's been portrayed several times John Lithgow won an Emmy or another award on tv recently for playing him too

The Beguiled (2017) - Stylish if lethargic remake of the 1971 film, from Universal/Focus Features and writer-producer-director Sofia Coppola. In Civil War Virginia, wounded Union soldier McBurney (Colin Farrell) seeks shelter in the plantation house of Miss Martha (Nicole Kidman) who runs a school for young women. The war has reduced the student body to a handful of young girls and teenagers, and only one remaining teacher, Edwina (Kirsten Dunst). Vowing to nurse the injured man back to health before turning him in to the Confederate authorities, Miss Martha and the other girls all become enamored of the handsome soldier, with dire consequences. Also featuring Elle Fanning, Oona Laurence, Angourie Rice, Addison Riecke, Emma Howard, and Wayne Pere.
Coppola seems to be striving for a Barry Lyndon-esque natural light look, with no artificial lighting used at all, resulting in lots of gloomy and shadows during the evening scenes. The sound design also goes for an antiquated natural quiet, with the sounds of crickets and wind moving through the trees dominating, adding to a sleepy, dreamy atmosphere. The performers are all fine, and I even though Farrell fit the manipulative soldier role better than Clint Eastwood did in the previous film. The three central women characters are noticeably different, though, and I felt they were each less compelling than those in the earlier movie (Kidman = Geraldine Page, Dunst = Elizabeth Hartman, and Fanning = Jo Ann Harris). This isn't a terrible film, but there's not a lot to recommend going out of your way for it, either, although I wouldn't be surprised if the film's cinematography and sound were mentioned at the Oscars. (6/10)

Was hoping to go to it but it barely got a wide release
May still snag a couple technical nods & maybe it's script

And pretty sure the recent unamused backlash over "Olaf's Christmas Adventure" is already nearing the end of Frozen, but just to wrap things up.
There was a push for actors to resurrect "old generation" sequels, especially after Paul Newman and "Color of Money", and Jack Nicholson directed this rumination on the film himself. (Which is why it was so very, very not Roman Polanski.)
Unfortunately, just about every "dramatic" moment required knowing that it was tied in to dramatic ripples from the first film, and if you saw it by itself, um, sorry, can't help ya there.
(And look spence: I quoted TWO PEOPLE! In the SAME POST! There's a magic new button that lets you do that, a jolly, green candy-like button!
Y'know that last button, that let you actually edit the previous post, so you don't have to quote the whole thing?...This is even better!)
Peter Pan officially fell into public domain around the time of that wretchedly off-book live-action version in the 00's, and now the Great Ormond St. Hospital isn't breathing down anybody's neck.
The Finding Neverland musical was Harvey Weinstein's corporate "Miramax needs a musical too!" baby, based on his biggest corporate trophy in our recent memory (if it was ten years earlier, it probably would have been a Shall We Dance or Shakespeare in Love musical). We could say "Harvey Weinstein is not Disney", but in light of recent events, it would probably be more accurate to say, "Oh, boy, is he EVER not Disney..."
Oh, the lil' film-trivia genius me
: Psycho II (which is miles better than Tony Perkins' attempt at a directorial break in #3) actually began when they discovered an alternate storyboard for the shower scene after Hitchcock's death--Producers didn't know what project to use to expand on it, but the alternate scene was eventually used for the prologue, after they found out that Australian director Richard Franklin had started out as a Hitchcock intern. (A bit of artistic influence often brought up about Franklin's cult hit "Patrick". Which was also remade decades later.)
And if you're going to bring up Disney sequels, most of the ones we got were to "jumpstart" the 30's and 40's characters for fifty more years of copyright extension--But after the laws were changed, Disney realized that if parents were buying any sequel anyway, kids were watching Bambi II who had never seen the original in their lives (what with it being shut away in the Vault, as SNL nagged us), and were just finding out about the characters for the first time...Fox & the Hound 2 quickly went into production, and an Aristocats II sequel eventually had to be shelved.
But the all-time highest grossing animated feature to date is "Finding, Dory" at approx. ($486m.)

Went to "SW: The Last Jedi" & "Three Billboards..." yesterday & personally I'm not a big "SW" fan, but think it a fine installment Saw it in 3-D I'm certain almost all by now are aware of it but who has also seen it to date?
On the other hand "Three Billboards 0utside Ebbing Missouri" is so original & unpredictable, so rare thesedays at the movies
Almost a lock to snag approx 6 to 7 or more *Oscar nominations & maybe a couple wins?
It shouldn't matter but does with the *Academy, that *Frances McDormand already took home an *Oscar 21yrs ago for "Fargo" is equal to it here
& "The Last Jedi" will certainly snag a couple technical shots come January. None of the other "SW" flix even won 1 single *Oscar, after the first 3 installments though
Personally I rate "The Force Awakens" a bit higher (***1/2) & is the official highest $grossing$ movie ever at $936m. domestically, however adjusted *"GWTW" is still champ
