My memories of the Nathaniel West book and the movie are hazy, but could it be "Day of the Locust"(1975)?

"Casanova"(1977) by Fellini? moira finnie

Commercials that are shown on FMC are between movies, not during films as with AMC. I don't find this annoying, though you may.

I find Fox Movie Channel to be a definite mixed bag--good old movies like "Lillian Russell" with Alice Faye and the Tyrone Power, Loretta Young and Henry Fonda vehicles from the same period, along with some real junk from the '60s, to the '90s. Feaito, they have shown the rarely seen "Zoo in Budapest" on FMC, along with several of the others you mentioned. BTW, The Myrna Loy version of "The Rains Came" is beautifully done--much superior to the '50s version. Stella, you might want to check out the FMC schedule over the course of a month before deciding to shell out another fiver for your cable bill--here's where you can view it online: http://www.thefoxmoviechannel.com/schedweek.asp

Sorry, feaito, I thought perhaps you were alluding to one of the filmed versions of the Chekhov classic.

YES! It's an odd little movie, isn't it? Something about that Errol Flynn-Bette Davis chemistry though...your turn, feaito.

Sorry, but no on both counts, feaito. Clue #3: An earthquake

Both excellent guesses, stella & feaito, but, nope. Boy, I hope that this logs...what a struggle--Moira Finnie Clue #2: A Party celebrating an Inauguration
