Hello all-
I sure as heck hope one of you can help me find the title of a Short Film that was on TCM last Thursday May26/Friday May 27.
It played after the movie "Ansiedad" and was a "filler" therefore the title was not listed on the TV Guide, nor did I catch the beginning of the movie.
It seemed to be filmed ca. 1930-1933 and was about a woman who had let herself go, therefore lost her man to another 'better' looking woman, only to go to a Salon and have herself made over so she could get him back.
The female character's name was "Lola" and she sang a song that I think was something like "Broadway Baubles" or...? I know it was Broadway B-something.
I feel horrible that I haven't more information to give. If I can excuse myself in any way, I had just worked a 9hr shift and got home after midnight, only to have to get up at 5am for another commitment, therefore my brain wasn't working as well the next day as I had hoped and all that I had thought I committed to memory was lost. (well that happens a lot, but figured if I gave a valid excuse someone would pity me and help?)
I believe it was an RCA film with Vitaphone (or could have been RKO?)
I had hoped I could find the film in this website under the schedule of that day (no luck) or contact TCM directly, but can't find their number.
Reading the posts that are here, I can't help but hold out hope that one of you know which film I am talking about and either name the title of the film, or give me more clues in which to search it out, or a way I can contact the programmers at TCM.
It's not a great film by all means... but I think the film might contain a relative in the dancing chorus, so anxious to find out all that I can.
Thanks much for any help you can give me!

I'm 20 and I have loved them for many years. My aunt and grandma first introduced me to I Love Lucy when I was 8 years old and then later Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and others that they liked. I myself discovered the movie My Fair Lady and fell in love with Audrey Hepburn. That was a big step into my loving classic movies but the real door-opener into the even older classics from the 30's ect is when I saw Fred Astaire for the first time. I became crazed to see more of his films and I now say that I've seen more of his movies than movies from any other actor or actress. Now I love just about every classic movie I watch. I'm hooked for life. We're out there, the younger appreiciators. It's just harder to find us young ones, but there are definetly a bunch of us.

I think it's too bad that today's generation of kids(at least most of them) don't care about the classics. I'm 14 and I love them! Whenever I talk about the movies, my friends have no idea what I'm talking about. Do you think this generation of kids should know about these movies? I do.

Please, try Ebay (either someone will have a VHS copy if the film has been commercially released or a copy off of tv) and don't try to convince any of us that an Osmond film is a "classic" by any definition. I doubt Turner or Warners even owns them.

It is stupidity reflected in the comments like the idiot below who likes to "listen" to movies - so please no foreign or silents - that drives me batty and causes a decline in the quality of posts on this website.
Lately it seems like we can go for days without any interesting topics on on the site, unless of course you are one of the 3 people who seem obsessed with Frances Dee and can keep a thread going on minutae about her for months.

Mongo, thanks for the 411 on Warren William, (or the human greyhound, as he's affectionately known in my house). I'm glad to hear that he was a pretty interesting guy as well as a good actor.
Vecchiolarry & Mongo, I'm delighted that someone else enjoys the deliciously fiendish Henry Daniell. In her autobiography, Tallulah Bankhead sang Daniell's praises as an actor and, being Tallulah, as an object of her affection. It seems that he struck just the right note with her--and there doesn't seem to been anything "sour" about him in her experience.

I want Paramount to release "Love With the Proper Stranger" (1963) on DVD. It stars Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen.

There is another short film titled "Chickamauga", also based on an Ambrose Bierce story. (I believe it was directed by Robert Enrico, who did the "Owl Creek" film.) I recall there is a scene in which dying Union soldiers crawl to a water hole in unison, in a sort of synchronized movement. But the eyewitness to this is a child, not a man, and I don't think there is any dialogue. Maybe Robert Enrico directed several short films based on Bierce stories?

I recently watched a documentary on the Z channel and they mention that this film was originally broadcast in 6 one hour episodes in Europe. Does anyone know if the six hour version is available?

When I think of Gene Kelly I always think of Brigadoon and An American in Paris.Although he was known for his dancing there was something about his voice that always brought me back to his next movie.

I appreciate the leads I don't know about the Spanish, but I'll give it a try. I guess there is somthing to be said for being bilingual. Maybe ignorance isn't bliss.

You're not the youngest. I'm several years younger than you. If you can't find anyone, you could still use these message boards.
-
Sorry, a spelling error in unfortunately. I had to fix it because it was bothering me.
-
Thanks for the site! I looked it up and it answered my questions. Unfortuneately I'm too young for the program. Oh, well. I'll just have to wait. Thanks for the information, I was looking everywhere for it.
-
How early are we talking about?
-
Who are some good people to write to and what are their addresses?
-
I am devoted fan of James Mason. If there are fans out I would love to hear from you.
-
How can I contact the TCM programmer?
-
Could I get some information on internships? I would like to know the age requirements and if you even have an internship program. Thank you!
-
Thank you..."State of Siege" also sounds like a very interesting film, but it is not the one I recall. the film I am thinking of is set in Europe, not South America. It ends with the hero pursued by enemy agents in the Swiss Alps.
-
Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I'm too young as well. I'll have to wait at least six more years. I wonder if they'll make an exception. I'll have to research this more. Thanks so much!

Okay Mongo, if you are the king of this forest can you help me out with this.....
Who is the actress with the "perfect" nose? A long time ago(like a year ago), I remember after a movie the gray haired guy on TCM(sorry I do not know his name) mentioned that the lady in the movie was the lady that most women during that time wanted her nose. She had the most requested nose to plastic surgeons.
Do you know who this actress is??
Thanks!
