That's a terrific poster, Kyle, thanks for sharing! JOEL MCCREA! JOEL MCCREA! In lots of films he saves the day!

Gus Arnheim Orchestra from 1930, the vocalist is Fred MacMurray:

It sounds like it would be quite an event. I like Carl Davis' scores for other silents films, so I would think this score should be quite good. While five hours is a bit long (whether it's sound or silent), it would be interesting to be able to experience NAPOLEON in a way similar to what audiences in 1927 would have.

Always did like the L.A. bands of Earl Burtnett, Gus Arnheim, Abe Lyman, Horace Heidt and Jesse Stafford. :x Something about that "California" sound that's not found in the recordings of the N.Y. bands. Must have been access to all that fresh orange juice...

It's kind of amusing to see Porky Pig along with Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Pluto in the 'Disneyrama' ad. I wonder if he was having a contract dispute with "J.L." like Elmer Fudd had in THE BIG SNOOZE?

Indeed! Happy Birthday Rey, I enjoy reading your lists too.

I did forget about THE AFFAIRS OF ANATOL. Even though Wallace Reid is not in it, It would be nice if TCM were able to show MISS LULU BETT. I like that film. Other Wallace Reid films that could be shown include, CARMEN (1915) and THE GOLDEN CHANCE (1916), both were released on DVD. I thought I read that a print of VALLEY OF THE GIANTS (1919) was discovered among many silent films that were recently found in Russia.

Not that I recall, but when someone posts a thread in the "General Discussions" forum about a future month's schedule being up, there is usually someone commenting on one or two precode films that may pop up for that month.

I don't recall any Wallace Reid films showing up on TCM, however, his wife Dorothy has been represented on TCM with airings of THE RED KIMONA (1925) and THE ROAD TO RUIN (1934) a while back.

Many of the 1930s films of Kay Francis would fit the bill, for example, TROUBLE IN PARADISE (1932), JEWEL ROBBERY (1932) to mention a couple. Some of Loretta Young's 30s and 40s films too, like EMPLOYEE'S ENTRANCE or GRAND SLAM, both made in 1933.

Yes, I would love to see HELLZAPOPPIN' and CRAZY HOUSE again. The last time I saw CRAZY HOUSE on TV was in the late 1980s. Edited by: Scottman on Feb 4, 2012 1:46 AM for spelling!

This is so cool!

Good choice, I've always liked that one! The Blow Monkeys:

Yes, LADY WITH A PAST has aired on TCM recently (I believe last year). I'm not sure if BOUGHT has been shown though.

Hi Fred, is that James Wong Howe next to the Vista Vision camera?

So true, I just saw a trailer for ABBOT & COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY on TCM last night and sure enough, the lady shooting at the muumy ran out of bullets and then threw the gun at him! :^0

I was really happy that the rarely seen ONE MORE RIVER made its TCM premiere. It was indeed a Whale of a night!

I have not seen this one before, it does look like it might be interesting. I have it set to record on my DVR.

Lisa Loeb:

The UCLA film and television archive is working on a 35mm restoration of BEAU GESTE, but it may be a while before it is completed. When BEAU GESTE was shown last summer at the AMPAS theater it was in 16mm, however, we got to see a bit of the 35mm restoration. While it was still a work in progress at that time, it still looked pretty good. I would guess that it may be another couple of years before the restoration is finished. Maybe by then Paramount will release it on BR.

Nice choice from the Turtles! Here's one by them that is also a favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4y65611UrE&feature=fvsr

Great song! Here's a favorite from Smokey Robinson:

I recall back in the late 70s/early 80s that KCET in LA used to run classic films on the week-ends, which included showing silent films. Sadly, no PBS station in the LA are does this now.
