I have the BROADWAY MELODY - it has several vaudeville Vitapone shorts as a bonus plus trailers for the BROADWAY MELODY films which followed (36, 38, 40). Good print quality. TCM has interviewed Anita Page - the brief clips usually show before or after one of her films. She is 95 now, and hopefully in good health. I met her about 7 years ago, and she was charming.

Another show, which I picked up on laserdisc recently, was the great BORIS KARLOFF tv series THRILLER. Great gothic horror/mystery. Examples: TERROR IN TEAKWOOD,
THE INCREDIBLE DR MARKESAN still give shivers.
as Boris would say..."It's time for a reeeaaalll Thriller!".

You can still get them on EBAY or if you live around the tri-state area of New York, the Princeton NJ has a record exchange that carries deleted dvds like these, for example. The Universal collection is a great labor of love and a fine example to restoration.
-
Not really. Of course there are the usual pirate sources that used old high contrast 16mm prints.
The best thing to do is suggest it to TCM for screening
(check out my Suggestion List under "FAVORITES" here).
This is a very intelligent little film and a great credit to Arch Obler.
-
For myself, its wonderful to see so many titles be restored and screened at CM and film shows.
One bit of controversy is still the subject of colorization. But this process is great to restore films that originally had color/tinted scenes. For example, I understand the recent restoration of the 1925 silent PHANTOM OF THE OPERA used colorization to restore the entire BAL MASQUE scene originally shot in 2 tone Technicolor. The end result was so good you couldn't tell where it was added.
I would like to see this process used to restore the 1929
MYSTERIOUS ISLAND with Lionel Barrymore. The film was originally fully tinted with Technicolor scenes. The film, sadly, is just shown b/w.

Seeking on getting an autographed photo of Best years of our Life, love classics, would like autograph os as many people especially Teresa Wright. Any suggestions

Thank you all for all the information, especially on all the other singers. This is definitely the right place to go with a film question! And sorry for the misspelling. It was after 2AM and I didnt realize my error until it was already posted. Thanks again!

I have just recently been reading some very interesting reviews on Arch Obler's film "Five". It doesn't appear to be available on VHS or DVD. How did the film look to at the festival? Do you know of any other venues it may be playing at anytime soon?
Thanks

PS...If anyone knows where I can find a shot of this house online, I would be very happy! When a wee gal, I fell in love with the House in "The Uninvited"...Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey. I found a shot of the house online, which I use as a desktop photo. Also, loved the grille in the archtop window at the top of the stairs, so designed one like it for our house here on LI...

Phyllis Dietrichson's house! I love that old Spanish-style architecture. Old Hollywood. I found this; enjoy!
http://www.filmsite.org/doub.html
"Immediately after his confession, Neff explains how he became involved with Los Angeles housewife Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck), a conniving, seductive, icy blonde bombshell. A few months earlier at the end of May (in 1938), he had stopped in a seemingly routine call at the Dietrichson family's California Spanish-style house (#4760) near Los Feliz Boulevard in Glendale, California, to encourage the head of the household, Mr. Dietrichson, to renew his car-insurance policy. [The real house, called the 'Death House' in Cain's novel, was at 6301 Quebec Street in Hollywood.]"

I just posted a new topic on HAMMER and AMICUS film companies from England. It would be great to see TCM show some of these great titles.
-
Great Britain gave us two great film companies: HAMMER FILMS and AMICUS FILMS. Both used talents such as PETER CUSHING and CHRISTOPHER LEE as well as Donald Sutherland
(DR. TERRORS HOUSE OF HORRORS), Burgess Meredith and Jack Palance (TORTURE GARDEN), Patrick Wymark, Hazel Court, Anton Diffring and Forrest Tucker.
Trivia note: Cary Grant wanted to do HAMMER's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA that ended up starring Herbert Lom.
It would be great if TCM can do a focus on these two great companies.

Here are some titles I saw in NY at film gatherings and I still love em
WORLD WITHOUT END Allied Artists Widescreen with Hugh Marlowe and Rod Taylor
RIDERS TO THE STARS with Richard Carlson
MONSTER FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR Roger Corman 1954
ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS Allied Artists 1957
FIVE Arch Obler film 1951
GOG in 3D United Artists 1953
and many more. Hope TCM decides to run them.

Hi
Great titles and I agree. Something for everyone!
-
I'm not really aware of what Turner has in their library, but, based upon what I have seen, they seem to deal direct with the biggest studios: UNIVERSAL, WARNER BROTHERS etc.
It stands to reason that many of these titles can be had for broadcasting. For example, BROTHERHOOD OF THE BELL is now shown under the WARNER BROTHERS tag. FEAR NO EVIL was and still is under UNIVERSAL/MCA TV (this was originally a tv film later given a theatrical limited run).
Universal, which now owns the older Paramount package (example: THE UNINVITED Paramount 1944) should still have great masters for titles like ALIAS NICK BEAL and MAN IN HALF MOON STREET.
I would like to see a tribute to TERRENCE FISHER and HAMMER FILMS which I used to see in the theatres.
In the mid 1990's I got a contact with the old AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS tv station and sent them hard copy of dozens of titles and production information. Within months they began to run classic and B science fiction and horror films that were not shown in years. I still have the tapes in fact with the great intros by the original hosts.
TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES has done an excellent job of screening great classics to smaller productions like I BURY THE LIVING with Richard Boone that would certainly be ignored today.
That is why it is important that viewers keep TCM informed as to what they want to see.

Do you know if a black actor (I thought it was Stepin Fetchit) was in the 1939 version of this movie starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard? I purchased a copy via ebay and watched it with my parents and Stepin Fetchit is seen driving the boat one time in the beginning and then he doesn't appear in the rest of the movie. We remember other scenes that should be in the movie but are now edited out.
-
I only became aware of Warren Williams fairly recently, having had a chance to view some of his films on TCM.
So far, my favorite performance of his was in LADY FOR A DAY.

I just happened to catch the last 15 minutes of THE BAD SEED last night, and agree with you COMPLETELY. Although I had always known what the movie was about, having seen bits and pieces over the years, I had never seen the ending. The film should have ended with the scene on the pier. The final "cute bit" was completely uncalled for and ruined the final impression made by the film. I sat there scratching my head over this "ending".
-
You didn't answer the question below. If TCM doesn't have the films in their library, then they have to license (i.e. pay $$$$) for them from Universal, Paramount, etc. I can think of a lot more high profile films that TCM should license from others (e.g. the Paramount - now owned by Universal - 30s comedies with Colbert, MacMurray usually directed by Leissen) than the obscure titles you mention.
-
Here are some additional titles that would be wonderful to see again:
THE MAN IN HALF MOON STREET Paramount 1944
SIXTEEN FATHOMS DEEP Monogram Lon Chaney JR Arthur Lake Loyd Bridges 1948 in Cinecolor

Hi
I have even written to the programme director and sent hard copy info on many of the titles, including PAUL WENDKOS who I feel hasn't gotten enough coverage (watch "THE MEPHISTO WALTZ" as an example.
All of the titles, except the widescreen format versions, were shown over 30 years ago many times on regular television. I grew up watching many of them on the old WORTV Channel9 NY or WNEW Channel 5 NY.
It would be great if a new generation of film buffs can see them instead of viewing shoddy pirate vhs/dvds.

If you're buying this, I'd spend the extra bucks for the Criterion edition. The cheapo DVD is of poor print quality whereas the Criterion is up to their usual high standards. (I don't work for them!)
