Being in academia for 40 years, I can really appreciate this scene from Annie Hall:

Oops, sorry I messed up the thread. I'll leave it open and I'll be more careful next time.

We didn't identify the people yet, so I will pick off a few:
#4 Tom Poston
#5 Peter Bull
#7 Raymond Massey

I believe they were all in versions of The Old Dark House.

Although Stanwyck was tough, I just can't see her blowing off a pimp's head with a shotgun. But I could be wrong.

#10 is Kenny Baker.

About a month ago, I was at the New Britain (CT) Museum of Art, and from a distance, spotted a painting of several men. At first glance, I thought one of the men looked like Barry Fitzgerald, which seemed odd. As I moved closer, I realized I was correct … which brings me to …
The Long Voyage Home (1940)
A surprisingly engrossing film about men aboard a freighter just at the outbreak of WW II. Some action here and there, but mostly a treat to watch the ensemble cast working together. John Wayne is almost believable as a soft-spoken Swede. However, Thomas Mitchell and Ian Hunter stand out, particularly in a scene where the crew humiliate Hunter, whom they think is a spy. The ending is downbeat, but does nothing to spoil the film. Worth a look.
Now, on to the painting. In 1940, Grant Wood painted a scene of several men in a bar, and called it “Sentimental Ballad.” It is a beautiful piece of art. The painting is shown below, along with a similar scene from the film, in case you have trouble identifying the actors.

Hello again,
Well, I found photographs of two lobby cards from this film (these lobby cards are not in my collection; i just found photographs online). So, it appears we are correct that the two stars of that photograph are Martha Mears and Kenny Stevens.
Looking at the first poster, that is definitely Martha Mears at the bottom right, but there is also a girl upper right dancing who is not Martha Mears. Now looking at the second poster, the girl is wearing the same outfit as the dancer, and does not look like Martha Mears. But she does look like Jean Porter.

DickLindsay--imdb has one photo of Kenny Stevens, with Jeanette MacDonald from "Broadway Serenade" (1939). Link:
Good find. The guy in question does appear to be Kenny Stevens, but I still think the girl is Jean Porter. She was still relatively unknown at the time and so maybe was not mentioned among the cast. I can find items on the musical stars of the film, but no other cast members.

Actually, I am not convinced that photo is from Rainbow Rhythm. The 15-minute film featured Al Donahue and his orchestra from New York's Rainbow Room, along with a few other musical acts.

Hello,
I have this photograph from a 1943 short called RAINBOW RHYTHM. anyone recognize the actors here? There is no info on this short from either TCM or the IMDB
The girl looks like Jean Porter.

Also, two images from THIS IS THE ARMY (Warner Brothers 1943)
The guy sucking on the straw is Bela Lugosi (just kidding). But the guy on the right is definitely Tom D'Andrea.

I believe the "tell me true" part was the stumbling block.
That, and the really atrocious makeup.

There was an inferior remake entitled Jim and Tammy Faye, but audiences were repulsed.

Barbara Stanwyck day
3 a.m. The Miracle Woman (1931). This Frank Capra picture is my pick of the day.
The tabernacle built for this film actually had a seating capacity of about 25,000. Inside the building, Frank Capra had to use a public address system so that the 2000 extras could hear him. Because the tabernacle was to be burned down in the climactic scene, the Hollywood Fire Department ordered that it be built outside the city limits.

Thanks, but....
Do not have a login with Spectrum (Charter), but could create one I guess. My internet is not through Spectrum though. So, can I still view movies at tcm.com Watch TCM on my computer. I have a PC.
If your internet provider is among those listed on the site, there is probably a way to do it. Again, you would need a username/password with your internet company.

The Girl and Her Trust (1912) youtube
Very entertaining D. W. Griffith short (about 15 minutes) stars Dorothy Bernard as a feisty telegraph operator who is accosted by two tramps bent on stealing a strongbox from a train station. She locks herself in her office and fires off a telegraph for help. Then, as the villains attempt to break into her office, she inserts a bullet into the keyhole of the door, puts the point of a pair of scissors against it, and whacks it with a hammer, setting off a charge. When the bad guys flee with the strongbox, she chases them down as they commandeer a handcar. The three go flying down the railroad tracks. Her boyfriend (who works for the railroad) finally arrives on the scene, and hops aboard a locomotive in hot pursuit. Eventually, the villains fall off the car in exhaustion, and are collared. Bernard and her boyfriend hoist themselves on the front of the locomotive and ride off in bliss.

Well Brynner was upset at McQueen during the production for what he believed was Steve always trying to dominate a scene. So maybe they were jockeying for position that is how they switched places.
Then again, maybe the horses were upstaging each other.

I highly doubt Crawford went one toke over the line, but Sadie Thompson - that wouldn't surprise me at all.
Maybe ... but I was referring to Gloria Swanson ...

Since Robert Osborne's passing, a number of people have commented they would like to see the network continue to use his many hundreds of intro/outros he recorded over 20-plus years, perhaps in a continuation of "Robert's Picks" or in some other format.
Tonight in a promo that I was only half-paying attention to, I heard Ben M. say a large number of these intro/outros are now available to TCM Backlot members. So, if you want to shell out $85/year, or whatever it is, you can watch them!
For $85, do they at least include the Robert Osborne bobblehead?

Love your new avatar, by the way. Too bad the Packers cleaned your clock on Super Bowl I.
