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 -

And read the fourth paragraph.
Also note that the film will be shown on TCM June 25^th^.

Well Time/Warner Cable here in Hollywood interrupted *Picadilly* with an "Amber Alert" for an "abducted" child taken from Catalina Island.
I understand the motivation behind it but I have never understood the value of doing that. And they do it often. It drives me crazy. I mean, how many people watching television in Hollywood are going to have any chance of coming upon a child and her abductor? On Catalina, no less?
But I am all for it on the radio when one is travelling in one's car.
I hope this isn't repeated during *Shanghai Express* .

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?

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.

*"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.

*"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.

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

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?

*"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.

*"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.

*"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*

*"Keep in mind that the weird political stuff that was on tonight (snip) will also be on all day long tomorrow in hundreds of re-runs..."* - FredCDobbs
True. But there was some very memorable live television going on this evening - if one is civically minded and engaged in the process of Government.
So, while a person could "watch" tonight's events in recorded formats later, I actually "saw" it happen tonight. I am pleased I did. It's one of those things like "seeing" Neil Armstrong in 1969, "seeing" Kirk Gibson in the bottom of the 9^th^ in the World Series or "seeing" the second plane hit the World Trade Center. I don't know that it rises to that level of historical value but it certainly has some importance.
One can "watch" all those above events after the fact but in each of those instances, I "saw" it happen. They won't happen again. But it is likely that I could "watch" *The Bitter Tea Of General Yen* some other time if I skipped it tonight because it had been shown earlier in the evening.
And I don't know what to make of your assesment of "The Slanted Screen". It strikes me as extremely cynical and dismissive of any historical information that it contained. I saw the program before and found it very enlightening.

*"Uh-oh...you're gonna say something bad, I know it."* - CineMaven
Not at all. I have nothing bad to say. But I am going to honor my commitment to _not_ make this a political thread.
Kyle In Hollywood
-
Well, as it turns out, I am extrememly grateful that *The Bitter Tea Of General Yen* wasn't on in primetime tonight. Given the historic events happening in the Presidential primaries this evening - which I have been watching for the past three hours - I would have skipped the film. And I think that might be true for some other potential viewers too.
Have I messed anything "good" in the "Asian Images In Film" introductions so far tonight?
Kyle ( not trying to inject politics into this thread. Really! ) In Hollywood
ps - anyone catch "The Slanted Screen" today? Whadja think?

*"Now how are we to ignore the John Ford banter when we keep getting more and more John Ford posters?"* - FrankGrimes
Careful there FG. You just might be run over by a *Stagecoach*. Actually, it could be about SIX *Stagecoaches* as I think that's the number of unique images I have for the film.
Don't worry though. "The Great Appeaser" has a special treat for you tomorrow..

Hello all -
It is with a great deal of embarassment that I acknowledge that on May 30^th^ I posted an image for *She Wore A Yellow Ribbon* that I had posted earlier. (Feb. 17^th^)
I've kept notes of what images I have posted already so as not to repeat an image but somehow this one slipped by. I guess all those Oscar Month posters got jumbled in my brain. And the only Ford "Cavalry" poster that I remembered uploading was for *Rio Grande* - not for *She Wore A Yellow Ribbon*.
So, as a gesture of penance, here's a new *She Wore A Yellow Ribbon*. It is the only other one that I have so don't expect another. And sadly, I don't have a *Fort Apache* poster so the "trilogy" will go unfilled in here. Sorry 'bout that.

Hello Mike Burns -
Welcome the Gallery Thread. I've been told this thread is pretty popular. ( And just ignore the Gary Cooper & John Ford banter. It is safer that way. But then I am also a proud appeaser. )
I just read your comments at "Flickr". Thanks for those. I really appreciate your making note of the WWI posters from the Library Of Congress. i was really proud to have found those and to have shared them during Memorial Day.
I, too, think the tagline for *The Clock* is special but the portraits are what puts it into the category of sublime - in my opinion.
I see you have a "Flickr" account yourself (Nice original artwork there, Mr. Burns.) but in case you don't know, in my account only the 150 most recent posters are available for viewing. But there are many more posters in this thread than those 150. You just can't see them at"Flickr". (I have a free account that limits the number of images seen at any one time to 200.) Those files cover the months of November, December and January. So if you want to see the oldest poster images, you'll have to browse through this thread. Just hit the link for the "Original Post" in the header for this thread and you'll be swept to the very beginning and then be able page forward. It is a bit more cumbersome than seeing them in a photostream at "Flickr" but it is the only option right now. And I think you'll enjoy *The Sin Of Nora Moran*. For months it was the most popular image in my account - with *No Room Of Her Own* a close second.
Once again, thanks for the kind words and I am glad you found your way here. (Also happy you know where to find the Monthly Grid too.) I hope you keep coming back.
Now I have to right a wrong from the end of May. I duplicated a posting. Horrors! And I have too many unposted images to let that stand.

*"...is the poster faded- or is that woman exposing her breast to the Genreal Yen?!* - joefilmone
*Bitter Tea Of General Yen* is one of the poorest quality posters I have posted. I tried to clean it up with what few rudimentary tools I have on this computer. But, just in case someone can do a better job, here's a link to the original file.
One should be able to access the largest size available through the thumbnail.
I wish I could have posted a better quality image but thought posting even this low-quality image was better than nothing - especially given how "important" this film is to this community.
So go ahead and "touch" - or re-touch the original image. Unlike the film, there's nothing daring about it. (Unless there _is_ some "**** action" to be found.)

Everything you wrote is correct except for the "based in Los Angeles" part. I believe Mr. Osborne actually calls NYC home. (And rumor has it that _some_ intros or Guest Programmer spots are also recorded in NYC.)

*"To the original question about the scene from "El Dorado" my copy courtesy of TCM does have (such) a scene with Caan..."* - movieman1957
Thanks for clearing that up Chris. I couldn't see how it would be anyother way from a TCM presentation.
I mean, how many times has TCM shown *Breakfast At Tiffany's* leaving Mickey Rooney in his place as "Hahree Gorightry's" upstairs neighbor?

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.
