    Trivia for

    'Til We Meet Again (1940)

    ? Illness caused director Edmund Goulding to be replaced for much of the film. Anatole Litvak shot approximately 26% of the film, William Keighley 4%, and William K. Howard shot a few retakes. Goulding shot 70% of the picture around bouts of pneumonia.

    ? Pregnancy caused Geraldine Fitzgerald to miss several shooting days. A double was used where possible.

    ? Remade as a segment of "The Love Boat" (1977), with John Forsythe and Ursula Andress in the lead roles. This was part of the two-hour season-opening special "The China Cruise" (7.1, 1 October 1983).

    ONE WAY PASSAGE had Kay Francis and William Powell.

  6. After she looses the money down the sewer and they have their argument, she goes back home to her father. Dean follows but the police are there and she tells him to run. They chase him to the cliff, shoot him and he falls on the same rock that the doll falls on. She goes down to him laying on the rock dead and says "I always knew you would win - always". She says to her father, "You better go back to the house father, it's going to rain" (the child is not a child anymore). The camera pans away as she and her father walk back to the house.

  7. I firmly believe that if TCM did not show their movies in Letterbox than FMC, the Showtime channels, TMC and Flix would not have started doing it. So we have TCM to thank for 80% of all the movies on Showtime Unlimited being in Letterbox.

  8. To go back to 1964 (that is when I bought my first Solid State Transistor hand held radio) the only station I listened to was WLEE LEE Radio from Richmond Va.They played Motown, The Beatles, Dave Clark Five, The Animals, still some country western but that was on the way out. Buddy Holly put an end to country western and country music (put he was dead by 1959 so he was gone). John F. Kennedy was in the White House (the torch had been passed on to a new generation). After he was shot and killed we were in mourning and lost, the Beatles came along and made us feel better (our saving grace you could say).

     

    More later.......

  9. By 1966 I was 13 and in full swing with the Beatles, The Animals and the whole British invasion. I got my first Beatles Album in 1964, until then I only bought 45's. All of these people in HOOTENANNY HOOT, would have been too out of it. I did still buy 45's of Diana Ross and The Supremes though. They were still cool.

  10. I think the reason that the Hammer Horror Films are so good is that they followed a general rule for all of their movies. No horror/Sci-Fi film should be more that 90 minutes long. The story has a beginning which sets up the characters, a middle where they have a conflict with the supernatural and an end where it gets resolved. Throw in plenty of graveyard scenes with fog, killing off a few pretty women and drunks at the local pub. Then the end where the hero saves the day and all demons turn to dust.

  11. Night of the Demon (1957)

     

    Dr. John Holden ventures to London to attend a paranormal psychology symposium with the intention to expose devil cult leader, Julian Karswell. Holden is a skeptic and does not believe in Karswell's power. Nonetheless, he accepts an invitation to stay at Karswell's estate, along with Joanna Harrington, niece of Holden's confidant who was electrocuted in a bizarre automobile accident. Karswell secretly slips a parchment into Holden's papers that might possibly be a death curse. Recurring strange events finally strike fear into Holden, who believes that his only hope is to pass the parchment back to Karswell to break the demonic curse.

    Cast:

    Dana Andrews .... Dr. John Holden

    Peggy Cummins .... Joanna Harrington

    Niall MacGinnis .... Dr. Julian Karswell

  12. I will be watching and recording all of the Dick Cavett Shows because there was no one like him. He could bring out the best of everyone, John Lennon to Groucho Marks. TCM is seeking a more diverse audience not a younger one and they will accomplish that with all of their new programming that will appear during the next three months.

  13. No, it is not me. I stayed out of the second one because I was trying to do one for a Holiday that I just could not get past three days. But I think the trick is to pick movies you want to see and then work your themes around it. When I got my presents from TCM, they said that they liked my daily themes and my MGM British Studio theme. That is what I did anyway.

  14. Kind Hearts and Coronets (TCM)

    McCabe and Mrs. Miller (IFC) (Cinemax)

    Sweet Smell of Success (Showtime, TMC, Flix)

    Trouble in Paradise (1932)Paramount Pictures ?

    A Star is Born (Which one?)

    West Side Story (TCM, Encore Love)

  15. I have a garden and I water my Tomatoes and Peppers to keep them alive through this drought until we get another rain. My neighbor came over and told me that he is not watering his garden because if GOD wanted those plants to be alive he would send rain. I told him, GOD did not twist our arms and make us buy SUV's and cut our grass every 5 days so he is not to blame for Global Warming. What we do, we do to ourselves. I hate it when people blame GOD for our stupid mistakes.

    Maybe it is just a weird occurance,I don't know? Maybe you people need to start thinking about what you would do the next time a contest challenge is started. I could never have requested these movies and hoped that they would all be on TCM.

  17. The music of Leonard Cohen and Kate Bush are two people that I love to listen to. And you people are just grand, all of you. I canceled my Earthlink and D* service so no internet or TV since posting this thread. I just came back online with Netscape and I thought this thread would be long gone but here it is. Yes the moles are here and they will take advantage of well meaning people, we just have to keep our guard up and spot them when they try to cause trouble.

     

    I guess that I am so blessed that I like silent's, pre-codes, 60's 70's horror sci-fi and anything coming out of France now. So respect is the key I guess when it comes to expressing dislike of movies that others may like. Most here do that but the moles seem to be one sided because they have an agenda in mind. It seems to me that we will know who they are by the fact that they will be blind to any obvious fault in their terminology.
