I had never heard anything about TCM copy protecting what they show. They already put the logo on the films they show, which would (in effect) copy protect what they show. I have a dvd recorder too, but the only troubles I have encountered are with defective discs. So I got a DVR recorder so that if the black disc I put in turns out to be defective, I can start the movie over again and not miss out on recording what I want. Otherwise, I have had no trouble recording anything off of TCM.

That would be great if TCM could get WINGS with the Carl Davis score. His film scores are excellent.

Nice Joan Blondell pix. I gotta figure out how to scan and post some of the pre-code pix that I have.

I would say for me it's 1932.

You'll get no argument from me about that!
I was playing "devil's advocate"..... ;-)

I'm 47... at least I think that's what the carbon dating report said.... ;-)

This is one of my favorite Edward G. Robinson pre code films (although I really like TWO SECONDS (1932) and THE LITTLE GIANT (1933) as well.) The last 10 minutes or so, of this film are really intensive. It is probably Marian Marsh's best performance.

Well, for what it's worth, it was shown in the U.S. too.

I DREAM TOO MUCH was aired on TCM last year,as was THIRTEEN WOMEN.
I agree, that TCM shows very few early RKO films. I don't think that they have aired BAD COMPANY ( I am lucky that I have it as a laser disc). I would love to see THE PAST OF MARY HOLMES, A QUIET FOURTH, and OLD MAN RHYTHM. Some oth the other titles you listed I don't recall seeing on TCM. I taped some of them when they were shown on AMC back in the 1990s. It would be nice if TCM could show a few more of these once in a while instead of a monthly showing of CASABLANCA, or some other very well known film. As for the person who asked about THE MONKEY'S PAW, it only exists in fragments. I have not heard of a complete print turning up anywhere.

Sweet!
I've seen a couple of Hayakawa's silent films, so I am looking forward to this release.

lz,
Thanks for the info in Ms. Clarke. I have several German postcards from the early 1930s of Mae Clarke. She was very pretty. The first film I saw of Mae Clark was the 1933 Columbia programmer PAROLE GIRL. It's an enjoyable bit of nonsense that also has Marie Prevost in it as well.

Hey Snorky,
Nice picture of Fay Wray!
-
Yea TCM! CABIN IN THE COTTON is finally being shown again. It's been a long time. This is an excellent Bette Davis, Richard Barthelmess film. TCM will be showing in on April 5th.
Thank you TCM!

An excellent film. Very advanced for an early talkie.

Jeff,
You'll like THE RING. It's a really good Hitchcock silent. I have it as part of a boxed set that Lionsgate Entertainment put out a couple of years ago that includes THE RING, (1927), THE MANXMAN (1929), MURDER (1930), THE SKIN GAME (1931) and RICH AND STRANGE (1932).
THE MANXMAN is his last silent. All of the prints in this 3 disc set are the best I've seen for any of these titles. The two silents have piano scores that work well for the films.
-
I'm not sure if all of these predate the release of BOTN, but REGENERATION (1915), THE CHEAT (1915), and A FOOL THERE WAS (1915) are all available on DVD.

Oy! Such company!
Happy Birthday, Ed!
-
DOUBLE INDEMNITY is an excellent film. I also liked her in THE LADY EVE (1941), and THE BITTER TEA OF GENERAL YEN (1933).
-
It is sad the way AMC degraded into what it is today. I miss the film preservation festivals they had each year, and would trot out some really neat and rare films.

Yes, THE LOVE OF SUNYA still exists

That's good news about BARDLEYS... As for A GIRL'S FOLLY, I really enjoyed this flim i love the scene where they are all watching Doris Kenyon's screen test. They never show you her acting, but the growing look of dismay on everyone but Dois Kenyon is one for the books.
