dplanet - I didn't see *Dondi* but are you sure it was replaced with *The More The Merrier* ? Both were scheduled to run in the morning of the 3rd - *Dondi* at 8:00am EDT and *The More The Merrier* at 10:00am EDT. The monthly schedule still displays that as being the line-up that morning - http://www.tcm.com/schedule/monthly.html?tz=est&sdate=2011-04-01 If it had changed, that page would reflect what was shown instead. I don't know what happened to the cable guide that it gave conflicting information that day. Sorry you missed it. Kyle In Hollywood

*"Why doesn't someone in the film tell the audience why Charlotte puts up with all that abuse from her mother?"* - FCD It is there. Charlotte asks her mother why "Father" didn't set up a trust fund for her when he set them up for all her older brothers and sisters. So you learn that all the other children got their money (thus their independence) long ago - but Charlotte, who had no such arrangement, was left to be dependent on her mother (and mother's passing) to receive her share of the family estate. Though it may not have been designed that way, the result was that as Charlotte grew older, she would be bound to her mother as her caretaker/companion. At least that was how her mother used the arrangement. Though I am not sure if that was the very reason for Charlotte's birth. That area is rather "gray." *"And why doesn't Paul Henreid divorce his wife and marry Charlotte?"* Because Jerry is "proper and respectable" - or some such description. Maybe the line is "one of those honorable types". It is found in the conversation between Charlotte and the female friend of Jerry's she meets on the liner. Jerry feels obligated to provide for his wife and family. A divorce may have a detrimental on his career as an architect. Plus there was the threat that a divorce may result in his "losing" Tina - who was more important to him than his wife. All in all, he stayed for the sake of the children. A very honorable thing to do. Kyle In Hollywood

David, and any other readers - If you have access to a photo printer and some decent photo paper (I prefer "matte" myself), I have digital files of some interesting Festival-related images that one can download and print for your own use. For an sample, go here - http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=159139&tstart=0&messageID=8507624#8507624 (If you are interested in any of the images already posted there, let me know. I've compressed them for posting in the Forums. For printing I'd recommend an uncompressed file and can upload one for you.) If you are looking for something specific, let me know and I will see what I can find. Kyle In Hollywood

I would add packing a sweater, sweatshirt or light jacket. While a 55 degree evening temperature may be positively balmy for some attendees, for others it can be quite cool. And when the sun goes down, it does cool off quickly. So if you are thinking of taking in the poolside screening, make sure you are dressed to be outside for two hours. The items may also come in handy while in the air-conditioned theaters. Things one should "forget" about bringing to the Classic Film Festival - ...your diet. ...the event itinerary you've already planned out. ...your inhibitions. ...the homemade DVD of Robert Osborne's "BeverlyHillbillies" episode for a gift to him. He has lots! ...your "cares and woes." Kyle In Hollywood

Hi 'TriciaNY' - Someone finally posted about their "Road To Hollywood" experience and I am so glad it was you and that you had a wonderful time. Did Ms. Hedren tell the story about the doll? *"HOWEVER, NO ROBERT OSBORNE! I was so bummed! Ben filled in."* That's too bad. But.... could it be Ben has been watching *All ABout Eve* a bit too much lately and Robert was sitting in a car with an empty gas tank in the middle of Long Island? Hmmmm? Great photos. Thanks for sharing the experience with us. Kyle In Hollywood

I remember the Architectural Digest tie-in. It was a few years ago. But I thought it was closer to five years back. There was also a "short films festival" programming event that was a collaboration with Hermes which was five years (or more) ago. The most recent event of this type was a promotion that involved apparel and Bloomingdale's and included the store's window displays. I wouldn't read too much into that marketing partnership. There was very little promoting of AD on TCM or at tcm.com. Mostly I think it served TCM to bring the "upscale" readers of the magazine to the channel and to the website. It definitely wasn't about getting regular viewers of TCM to part with their money for the magazine or high-end leather products. TCM would rather have its audience use their purchasing power on items which are "in the family" - like books, DVDs, etc. And no one should think that TCM believes that its audience is synonymous with or overlaps greatly with the "upscale luxury market". They know that their viewers are more likely to be of average means. Or at least those of us here at the website. Many of us here were involved in a survey that TCM undertook as it tried to learn more about its audience and understand why we are such fans of the channel. I don't think there were many (if any) millionaires or near-millionaires in that group. It is no accident that TCM is sponsoring _free_ screenings of Classic Films across the country as a lead up to the Classic Film Festival later this month. TCM knows that the cost to attend the Festival in Hollywood is beyond what many viewers can afford. Sure the screenings are a great promotional tool for the FF. But these events are also important to bringing TCM into the lives of its viewers in a way that is outside of the cable channel. They also also are useful to counter charges of "elitism" on the part of the channel when the passes to its FF are many hundreds of dollars. Such a label would be quite damaging for a channel that has developed a suprisingly tight bond with its audience over the past 15 years. Kyle In Hollywood
