  1. 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...

  3. 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.]"
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Hi Great titles and I agree. Something for everyone!
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I would love to see any of the following films, which are ALL listed in the TCM library: Working Man***************(Davis, Arliss) King's Vacation************(Arliss) Arsene Lupin**************(Barrymore) Reunion in Vienna********(Barrymore) Coquette******************(Pickford) The Great Lover***********(Irene Dunne) Having Wonderful Time***(Rogers,Fairbanks,Ball) Twelve Crowded Hours ***(Ball) Union Depot***************(Blondell, Fairbanks) The Silver Cord************(Dunne, McCrea) Gypsy Colt*****************(Frances Dee) My Cousin Rachel*********(DeHavilland) The Perfect Specimen****(Flynn) Public Hero No. 1*********(Arthur) The Man From Down Under*(Laughton) Mother Carey?s Chickens Captains of the Clouds Ever in My Heart Fast and Furious High Pressure Jalna Ladies of the Jury Seven Keys to Baldpate 1929, 35, 47 Slim Smartest Girl in Town Sporting Venus

    great endings

    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".
  13. 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.
  14. 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 MURDER BY THE CLOCK ParamountParamount 1931 starring William Boyd and Irving Pichel MURDERS IN THE ZOO Paramount 1933 Lionel Atwill Randolph Scott Kathleen Burke THE GHOUL 1933Gaumont-British Boris Karloff Sir Cedric Hardwick, Sir Ralph Richardson, Ernest Thesiger THE MAN WHO CANGED HIS MIND 1936 British-Gaumont Boris Karloff, Anna Lee KING SOLOMONS MINES Paul Robeson, Anna Lee, Sir Cedric Hardwick, Roland Young 1936 BLOOD AND ROSES WIDESCREEN VERSION 1961 Paramount Directed by Roger Vadim Elsa Matinelli, Mel Ferrer JOHNATHAN 1970 Iduna Film/New-Yorker subtitled in English Starring Juergen Jung, Paul Albert Directed by Hans W. Geissendoerfer. Powerful political story adapted from DRACULA by Bram stoker. Screened at the Metroplitan museam Of Modern Art in NY to good reviews. SECRET OF THE LOCH British gaumont 1934 Starring Seymour Hicks. Edited by DAVID LEAN
  15. 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.
  16. There are a lot of great films that have dropped off the face of the Earth. Lets see if TCM will give them a chance... Here are some of my suggestions. BROTHERHOOD OF THE BELL Glen Ford, Dean Jagger. Dir. by Paul Wendkos 1970 FEAR NO EVIL Louis Jourdan, Carroll O'Conner Dir. by Paul Wendkos-Universal 1969 DARK INTRUDER Leslie Nielson Dir. by Jack Laird Universal 1965 CHAMBER OF HORRORS Patrick O'Neal Warner Brothers 1966 SECRET OF THE INCAS Charlton Heston Paramount 1954 THE SKULL Peter Cushing WIDESCREEN VERSION Paramount 1965 TORTURE GARDEN Burgess Meredith, Jack Palance, Peter Cushing 1968 THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH Anton Diffring, Hazel Court, Christopher Lee Dir. By Terrence Fisher CRACK IN THE WORLD Dana Andrews Paramount 1965 WORLD WITHOUT END Hugh Marlow Rod Taylor WIDESCREEN VERSION (Sam Peckinpah worked on this film) 1957 SHADOW OF THE HAWK Jan-Michael Vincent Chief Dan George ALIAS NICK BEAL Ray Milland Thomas Mitchell Dir. by John Farrow Paramount 1949 THE DEADLY BEES Paramount 1965 DEAD OF NIGHT Michael Redgrave 1946 THE CAPTIVE HEART Michael Redgrave 1946 MACUMBA LOVE Walter Reed, William Wellman jr, Ziva Rodaan, Juns Wilkinson United Artists 1960 THE SHARKFIGHTERS Victor Mature WIDESCREEN VERSION Anyone else have suggestions?
  17. How is the packaging, aspect ratio? Why is it listed under DVD as well?
  18. I finally saw this after wanting to for years - it's available on DVD now (w/ a commentary by, among others, Gloria Stuart). I was actually kind of disappointed - lots of great moments and atmosphere - gloomy castle, dark and stormy night, wierd assorted characters but it just didn't add up to much for me. Sort of oddball occurrences for their own sake without much logic or structure.
  19. Why don't you: a) search the TCM schedule if you want to see either one so badly, rent or buy them from a video store. People likely aren't responding to your post b/c both films are readily available. This type of question is most frequently relevant to early talkie/silent films not otherwise available on home video.
  20. Has anyone seen this movie? It's a 1965 film starring Yvette Mimieux and Richard Chamberlain based on the novel by Betty Smith. I can't find it for sale anywhere and I haven't seen it on any schedules. However, this is my favorite book and I'm really interested in finding out more about the movie.
  21. While I was watching Audrey Hepburn lip-sync to "I Could Have Danced All Night" in My Fair Lady, I was thinking about the woman some people don't even know about - the one with THE voice. Mami Nixon also did Natalie Woods singing in WestSide Story and Deborah Kerr's in The King & I. ( I've had arguments about the Natalie Wood thing.) She has such a fabulous voice - just think of all the songs she sings in those three films!!! I'd like some background on Ms. Nixon if anyone knows anything or where I might find out. Also im sure there are other behind-the-scenes singers that dont get recognized, post them please if any come to mind. Thanks!
  22. I finally got to see this wonderful film from beginning to almost end (I fell asleep during the great dance sequence at the end!) Can anyone tell me who the older woman is who is dancing with Gene Kelly in the first number? She was wearing a long black skirt & red sweater. I thought she did such agreat job dancing with Kelly & I was wodering about her background & if she did other movies. Thanks for any info!
  23. It was in 1953, for the '52 Oscars Not sure where. Winners: Picture-The Greatest Show on Earth Actor-Gary Cooper (HighNoon) Actress-Shirley Booth (Come Back, Little Sheba)
  24. That crime week TCM did, had people worried about me, as I woke up early and sat in front of the TV for hours on end. My favorite film noir, is the Big Sleep (which did feature during that TCM special)So I suppose Im unoriginal like that, but I think Humphrey Bogart, does empitomize the genre.
