It's only a commercial,so who cares about the girl? It's all about the movies and the Janus films on TCM. They could of had a dog eating the telescope. it doesn't matter. it is ONLY about the up-coming films on TCM. Take it at face value. If we start dissecting each promo that comes on the "Tube" we'd be going crazy. Like is it only a Good party if you drink Dr. Pepper?? Who Cares.... By next month this will be forgotten and we can argue about something else. Can not wait!!!!

Usually the film doesn't start exactly on the hour mentioned. Do to Robert Osborne's comments or intros. The films are mostly listed as two hours but most never hit the 2 hr. mark (running under that time) I would set my timer for the top of the hour or the time listed and let it run a couple of minutes longer. That wouldn't hurt, unless the film freezes or if there is a reception problem, which happens sometimes with satellite. And Welcome Aboard.

TMN,Sorry you took it the wrong way but, I wasn't taking sides. I simply do not want arguing or the loss of anymore members. I've seen a lot of good, intelligent people leave over disagreements. We're here because of our love for classic movies.We post our opinions,recommendations,our love or hate of certain films,and/or actors on the TCM forum. We're here to be entertained,help with questions,learn and have our voice be heard, to have fun. But when it turns into name calling or poking fun of. Lately it seems to be getting out of hand. So let's sit back ,take a deep breath and enjoy.....

Yo Rocky, you kiss with that mouth? Have you seen "drdoolittle" on the boards lately? He/she was also a victim of your rants.So chill out and let's get back to enjoying this site. We lost too many folk's already.
Your Brandon DeWilde imitation "Come back "GM"/Shane" is getting stale.

I think she wanted Ashley only because Melanie Hamilton did also.
This classic film narrates the love between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler during the American civil war. It's the history of a selfish woman who doesn't want to admit her feelings about the man she loves, and finally loses him.

>In "The Haunting" its that house (I forgot the name).
It's called "Hill" house built by Hugh Crain. Love the 1963 version NOT the 1999 one.

I found this today at yahoo RE: Glenn ford
overlooked star in Hollywood By Kirk Honeycutt
Fri Sep 1, 3:50 AM ET
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - News of Glenn Ford's passing Wednesday rekindled my deep regret that the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. never bestowed its Career Achievement Award on the popular star.
Nearly every year during the 1980s and into the '90s, the late KPFK-FM critic Dean Cohen and I would make our pitch for Ford. And every year someone else, equally as worthy to be sure, won the prize. I could never put my finger on why.
Ford made more than 80 films in a career that lasted more than a half-century, and he was the star in most of them. Certainly no star was more versatile. His name was above the title in Westerns, comedies, romances, weepies, melodramas and adventure films. He was consistently good and eminently likable. In his best movies -- "Blackboard Jungle" (1955), "The Big Heat" (1953), "Gilda" (1946) and "Pocketful of Miracles" (1961) -- he was terrific with a sincerity, easy manner and sense of timing that disguised all the hard work. In more ordinary entertainments, he kept you riveted to the screen. He had that kind of charm.
As a kid, I loved watching him in such romantic comedies as "Love Is a Ball" or "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" (both 1963). On TV, I had already discovered him as a leading man in such old Westerns as "The Man From Colorado" (1948), "The Fastest Gun Alive" (1956), "The Man From the Alamo" (1953) and "Cowboy" (1958).
Perhaps, unlike his pal William Holden, he never was lucky enough for a signature role to occur in a film for the ages, a "Sunset Boulevard" or a "Stalag 17." "Blackboard" came closest. Another drawback was that he never sought the limelight. No hint of scandal ever involved him. He never publicly quarreled with producers or directors. Ford did his job, millions of people bought tickets, and on he went to the next project.
Not that he didn't get votes at our annual gatherings. But apparently not enough critics remembered or realized what a sought-after star he was for so many different kinds of movies during his heyday in the '50s and '60s. He was listed in Quigley's Annual List of Top Ten Boxoffice Champions in 1956, '58 and '59, topping the list in '58.
Ford worked in mainstream Hollywood movies. He never experimented with indie films or offbeat characters, so perhaps that, too, is held against him at least subconsciously.
Sadly, Academy voters suffered a similar lapse. In his long career, he never won an Oscar. "Miracles," his one pairing with director Frank Capra, earned him a Golden Globe. He didn't even get one of the whoops-we-goofed lifetime achievement Oscars that such talents as Cary Grant, Alfred Hitchcock and King Vidor picked up after years of being overlooked. By the time the American Cinematheque stepped in to hold a 90th birthday tribute to Ford's career in May, he was too feeble to attend.
Ford did have one weakness: He didn't make a good villain. An air of decency clung to him. Audiences always liked his characters; they rooted for him. He was never going to get away with being a bad guy. It didn't feel right.
He always claimed to play versions of himself onscreen. Which means he must have been a most thoughtful, honest and dignified man, not given to egotism or self-righteousness. The obits Thursday said he played ordinary men, but were they really that ordinary? What his characters on the screen did was make audiences feel immediate sympathy. They felt they knew this guy, and they knew they liked him. They could trust him. But isn't that rather extraordinary?
Think of all the great actors and stars working in Hollywood during his heyday. Yet was he often in the top 10 and one of the most sought after. Few of those stars could do what he did. James Stewart evoked the same kind of sincerity and thoughtfulness, and perhaps Gary Cooper did, too. No, those qualities were pretty rare, then and now.

I always loved Hillary Brooke. I guess it stems from the Abbott & Costello Show when I was a kid. I though she could of had a better career in films. And I did think she was British. Wow, and she's from Astoria, N.Y. like myself (I was born there). Happy Birthday Ms. Brooke.
