I think of only one film for Washington D.C. - *Born Yesterday*. The city and its landmarks even play a role in the film. "This place is prettier than the Music Hall. And it smells so nice!" - Billie Dawn (or something to that effect) Kyle In Hollywood

You guys never cease to amaze me. There are posters that I put up as "placeholders" while waiting for the opportunity to post something "really good". Yet you all even find something exciting in those. I appreciate that. Kyle In Hollywood

*"Since when is it the government's responsibility to bail out anyone who made bad financial decisions?"* When the Government of The United States decided it needed to "bail out" an _investment_ bank. Kyle In Hollywood

*"If the Left had its way, there would be censorship--such as The Fairness Doctrine."* - JakeHolman I don't know why I am stepping foot in here because I swore i wasn't going to take the troll-bait the OP posted but that statement above is so luducrously off-base I can't let that stand. Just how is "The Fairness Doctrine" censorship? The Fairness Doctrine required media outlets that use the public airwaves - free of charge, no less - to present both (or more) sides of any controversial or topical issue. As corporations operating "in the public trust" it was paramount that license holder not be allowed to use their licesne to advocate on an issue of public importance at the exclusion of contrary opinions. From wikipedia - "A license permits broadcasting, but the licensee has no constitutional right to be the one who holds the license or to monopolize a... frequency to the exclusion of his fellow citizens. There is nothing in the First Amendment which prevents the Government from requiring a licensee to share his frequency with others.... It is the right of the viewers and listeners, not the right of the broadcasters, which is paramount." - U.S. Supreme Court (1969) The Fairness Doctrine was written and applied to ensure discussions contained differing points of view and not just those of the license holder. The policy _required_ a freedom of ideas from over-the-air televsion and raidio broadcasters. That's _not_ censorship. And I find it intellectually dishonest to paint it that way.

Saturday June 7^th^ *Knights Of The Round Table*

"John Doe" or "George Kaplan" Kyle In Hollywood

*"But there must be a gazillion westerns that take place in Wyoming, like, uh, "Wyoming" (1928), "Wyoming" (1940), and of course, "Wyoming" (1947)."* - karlofffan Now _that's_ funny! Good job. Kyle In Hollywood

*"Sorry Kyle, I guess our posts crossed."* - scsu1975 Don't apologize, pal. It happens. Let's consider it a good omen. kjk

Hello 'LittleIrishLassie' - I think the film you seek is *Dark Victory* . It starred Bette Davis and George Brent. Here's a link to the film's page at the TCMDatabase - http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=586 "Judith Traherne is at the height of young society when Dr. Frederick Steele diagnoses a brain tumor. After surgery she falls in love with Steele. The doctor tells her secretary that the tumor will come back and eventually kill her." And it's a great film. Kyle In Hollywood

sduraybito - The shot of Loren coming up from the water into a rowboat wearing the red t-shirt is from *Boy On A Dolphin* (1957). See here - http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=196837 And read the fourth paragraph. Also note that the film will be shown on TCM June 25^th^. Kyle In Hollywood

Glad to hear so many of you are pleased with today's selection. Something tells me that I could post a Dietrich poster every day for a month and it would be welcomed enthusiastically. Sadly I don't have that many. But I am sitting on a few more. "The Essentials" this year includes *Witness For The Prosecution* doesn't it? Kyle In Hollywood

As the writer of the Original Thread linked below, I suppose I better defend myself. Is *Hair* a perfect musical? Not a chance. But I think it is great fun - if one has an affinity for the era and for the *Hair* soundtrack. I think it also helps to play the film LOUDLY through a stereo system. I guess my fondness for the film also is a result of the film being in theaters in 1979 before MTV and "music videos" became ubiquitous and an artform unto themselves. I really admire the way Milos Forman visualized the songs and infused the images of youthful rebellion in a non-threatening manner. For the most part, young adults in the Sixties avoided aggreession in expressing themselves. And they chose different different priorities and responsiblities. If you disagree with those choices, I can see one not enjoying the film. Not that it may matter a whit, I remember Gene Siskel naming *Hair* as his favorite movie of the year. I had great fun watching it in the theater and enjoy the film's soundtrack very much. It is a fun experience - as long as you like the music. If not, I can understand why one wouldn't enjoy the film.

Hi 'molo14'. (And you too 'scsu1975') If you are usinig the link in the banner above, go ahead and click on it again. http://moviemorlocks.com/blog'>http://moviemorlocks.com/blog'>http://moviemorlocks.com/blog'>http://moviemorlocks.com/blog You _will_ see the "Not Found" meesage - but there should be a "Movie Morlocks" banner across the top of the page. Go ahead and click on that http://moviemorlocks.com/ You should get taken to a new "Morlocks" layout page that displays all the blog posts by the Morlock writers. I see a new post from 'moirafinnie6' about the film *The Mob* at the top. Seems the "blog" part of the address is now considered redundant and has been removed from the working address. I am sure the TCM Web/Interactive folks will get the banner link updated soon. Kyle In Hollywood

*"Thanks, Kyle, for the cool "Sabotage" poster (wonder why title change)"* - Mr6666 My pleasure mr6666. I haven't a clue what prompted the US distrbutor to change the title to something so innocuous. Maybe resident Hitchcock afficianado FrankGrimes can let us know. Kyle In Hollywood

*"You combined Hitch with Lang. Very nicely done!"* - FrankGrimes "Aw. It was nothing any red-blooded American Boy wouldn't do." - Fibber McGee And a *Dead End* reference just wouldn't work. On second thought, "Knife in the back". "Dead End". All that's missing there is a rimshot. *"Thanks for the Sabotage poster."* You're always welcome. *"I like Sylvia, especially with a knife."* Maybe you can ask Minya to act out *The Lodger* with ya later in the week. Kyle In Hollywood

*"I think the bigger question is, why wouldn't she?"* - Minya Oh. Is she a Gary Cooper fan too? kjk

I figured my demise had to be involved, someway, somehow. I look > forward to the poster. I guess you shouldn't turn your back on Sylvia Sidney today. Looks like she's been in the kitchen drawers. But why would _she_ want to harm you? Oh, Iknow. She thinks you died in the jail fire started by that mob, right? Kyle In Hollywood

*"I did come to discover you have a private account on Flickr, as I had already started going back through this thread."* - thewaymouth Well, it's not "private" by my choice. Once a person has uploaded 200 images to their account, this announcement from "Flickr" suddenly appears on the member's homepage. "Hey hlywdkjk! About your photostream... You've run into one of the limits of a free account. Your free account will only display the most recent 200 things you've uploaded. Anything beyond 200 will remain hidden from view until you either delete newer items, or upgrade to a Pro account. Nothing has been deleted, and if you upgrade, they'll all come back unharmed." Well, first time I saw that, I panicked thinking all the links to the older postings would be "broken" too. But thankfully that is not the case. "Flickr" still allows the links to the images to function. Once I was aware of that limitation, I learned how to work with it. But because "space" is at a premium, I now only upload images to the account for which I have specific plans. And thanks for the link to a larger *Bitter Tea...* Very Nice. Kyle In Hollywood

Wednesday June 4^th^ aka *Sabotage*

*"Six?! What has Lynn done to you?"* - FG Can't lay that at the feet of Lynn. I acquired them long before I became acquainted with Lynn. *"A knife in the back?"* Actually it is a package I want you to deliver by streetcar. Kyle In Hollywood

*"I'm in for a treat for the remainder of the evening, the rarely aired (is it a premiere, Kyle??) THE BITTER TEA OF GENERAL YEN."* - markbeckhuaf According to the June Primetime Grid that marks premieres, no. It is not a premiere. I haven't a clue when it might have been shown in the past. But It must have been seen at least once in the past fourteen years since the debut of TCM. Premiere films for tonight are/were - *The Dragon Painter* and *The Castle Of Fu Manchu* Thursday evening the documentary "Frosted Yellow Windows" and the film *Daughter Of The Dragon* are listed as premieres. Next week, these films are listed as premieres - *Charlie Chan At The Circus* *Charlie Chan In Honolulu* *Thank You, Mr. Moto* and *Daughter Of Shanghai* Kyle In Hollywood
