Only because it isn't your real name. And don't I know you love films. Sorry. I should have put them around "Mongo" as well.

I wouldn't really disagree. In fact just having "Go ahead. Make my day" alone might be worth including. It could be something as simple as rights clearance. I'm not sure but being a subjective work maybe he didn't think to include him.

Here's the setting. Someone couldn't make it to Atlanta. You have been called as a last minute replacement. You are going to sit in the big red chair and have Robert Osborne look you in the eyes and say "Thanks for being here." Your job is to follow Lynn and April and Mongo and "filmlover" and Kyle and Cinemaven and those other fine people. What movie did you pick and why? Remember, you have to tell millions of viewers why this movie is worth their time. The only catch is that TCM has to be able to rent it for you fairly easily. Well, we can dream can't we?

Aren't those guys the back up singers on "I Am The Walrus"? (koo koo koo joob)

Somtimes I think current filmmakers use different setups just for the sake of using different setups. Have a cut every two to three seconds. Heaven help them if they should go too long with a shot. Ford I think was content to let the actors do their thing. I am always reminded of the scene early on in "Two Rode Together" when Stewart and Widmark sit by the river and talk. No camera changes for three to four minutes. It was wonderful just watching the two of them work.

My local PBS station ran this a few months ago and while they showed it without the intermission it still ran to 3 hours 11 minutes.

> feel like I won't know my own full tart potential until I am wearing these pajamas in my hotel room in Paris. I like the way you think.

>Wrong forum??? Geez, if MOVIE RAMBLES isn't THE Hot Topic, then I don't know WHAT is. I sit corrected, again!

> {quote:title=VonFrankenhausen wrote:}{quote} > Then TCM ought to send it BACK to the distributor and ask them to send an UNCUT print. Clear now? Just what do some of you want? For me to acknowledge that it's a matter of complete irrelevancy if a movie is cut up or not?...Well, I won't do it. (Gable said that to Laughton in Mutiny on the Bounty) I was just explaining what likely happened. No one asked you to acknowledge anything.

William Powell. Very few men were as meticulously dressed as him. He looked as good in a suit as anyone.

Duke's birthday is May 26, 1907.

I haven't seen this one in years and plan on recording it tonight. A most rare showing. It's worth it if you are at least of completist of Cagney's work.

>"Here Rambles....Come Back Rambles!!! Best doggone thread on the Board." Did anyone check the Lost and Found? See if I'm there too. I think I've lost my way.

Maybe currently but I have seen "Our Hospitality" and "Sherlock, Jr." and "Steamboat Bill" plus some talkies have been on at times before.

The old geezer is John Ford's brother Francis. James FitzSimons is her brother and he is the one, I think, that gives the wedding toast. The Rev. Playfair is played by Barry Fitzgerald's (Flynn) brother Arthur Shields.

TCM doesn't edit them. If they are then that is the way they arrived from the distributor.

At least that's my > cheap philosophy for today, lol! Life sucks then you die. (Woody Allen I think.) I like it because it is short, to the point and more often than not, true.

Thanks for the poster. A very funny film.

It's gone for now. Will it return?

Very interesting. I haven't heard of this but it sounds really interesting. i've only ever seen a little of Hart but I always thought he had one of the more interesting faces in movies. If your caps are any indication of the print quality then that is quite amazing. I've wanted to see more silent westerns but they don't seem wasy to come by. Thanks.

>Chris.. how do you feel about playing a duet with little Rhoda?? She only seems to know one song though... but she can play it over and over... and over... That will at least give me time to learn it.

Ta-Dah!

Be careful about the cellar. That is where the aunties have hidden the bodies. (Making lame attempt for topic.)

And while no Steely Dan fan that is still a great song. Still fresh.
