There are plenty of people with more smarts than me here so maybe they'll chime in as well. The only one that comes close that I know is "Tovarich." It stars Charles Boyer and Claudette Colbert. You can go to the TCM database and look for some more info.

Especially her lovely hairdo when she cuts it at the waterfall. Seriously, it's a movie I've enjoyed. I think Granger is well cast and does a fine job.

One of my favorite comedies regardless of genre. The scene where Hackett sets her dress on fire makes me laugh every time. "Pooberty" hit her pretty hard." Garner wonderfully underplays everything.
Who would have thought jack Elam could be that funny.

Haven't all "The Essentials" host been on for only a year? (Not that I was any fan of Ms. Haskell's.)
-
Mayo's character? Not hardly.
There's a loving tenderness behind the scene with Homer and Wilma. Homer aches over the trouble he'll be (and having already mentioned how he won't be able to really hold her.) Wilma looks on with such empathy and a look of "if that's all we have to worry about..."
I can see them late in life still arm in arm everywhere they go. Still helping him with his arms. Homer amazed that Wilma still loves him.
It's a lovely romance.

Just curious - How long is the clip? How long did it take you to come up with the music? Was it more difficult to find a theme or to do the scoring and arranging?
If you're willing please share any other comments about the process.
Who are some of your favorite composers?
Sorry the questions are so lame. I'm a music lover and would love to have the talent to do this work.
Thanks for your time.

One of my favorite shots is the look on Myrna Loy's face when she realizes her husband is home. Then the shot of both of them down the hall when they first see each other.
Harold Russell is terrific. When he shows Wilma what it's like for him everynight, that's the one that gets me.

"Network" is scheduled April 13 at Midnight.

Sometimes if you have insomnia on a Saturday night the Game Show Network would show the 50's versions of "What's My Line" and "I've Got A Secret", etc. I've haven't seen them in a while so I'm not sure if they still do.
I always thought it was wonderful how everyone looked. You thought they were going to a formal dinner party after the show. Dorothy Kilgallen and some of the ladies were in their furs and diamonds. It was a big deal.
*Sigh* indeed.

I agree. Burns and Allen, Jack Benny and later Dick van Dyke still hold up. I've seen clips from Sid Caesar's show that is still some of the funniest tv I've seen.
Since you mentioned George Burns I'm rereading his "Wisdom in the 90's." It's fluff but fun.

Can't comment on whether Buddy Love was Dean or not but I always thought Jerry looked up to him and loved him dearly. That includes the tough times.
I have two books on them. One is "Everybody Loves Somebody" by Arthur Marx (Groucho's son) and the other is primarily A Jerry biography. I haven't read them in a while. Granted they had a difficult breakup but they worked it out eventually. I've heard Jerry talk about calling Dean after his son died and how things were good after that time.

Don't hold your breath. Those days are gone. I can't imagine what network would. I've had to order things like Jack Benny and some of the other 50's shows off of Netflix. Careful though if you haven't seen them in a long time the nostalgia of them can sometimes over run the quality of them. I hope you find them.

Which time zone are you in? At 7:15 I was taping Betty Hutton.

otterhere:
There is not a West Coast feed yet (that I've heard.) They tried to do oone last year and something happened but I don't think there's been word of it since.
Sandy:
I'll have cake, please. I always liked Dr. Heimlich's (sp) "Me-maneuver."

Not to me. I looked it up on tv.com and while the time seems right the rest of the plot doesn't. However, I wasn't a loyal viewer of it and Lord knows I've been wrong before. Maybe it'll ring a bell with Anne.
Thanks for the help.

Not much. I am quite fond still of the original "Law and Order" with semi regular viewings of "Law and Order SVU." I think "House" is a well written show and I enjoy it. I like the History channel and Nat'l Geographic once in a while as well. I'll look over the pay channels I have for some old movies.
One thing on old shows I'm enjoying are the DVDs of "Soap" with Billy Crystal and others. I just think it's funny.
I did see a few episodes of fellow poster Shonna's "Family Plots" on A & E a couple of years ago. I say that just so she knows I thought she was the only normal one in the lot.

Anne:
I know the show (which I can't remember either) but I thought it was after CSI. It was riding the CSI wave. I tried looking on tv.com but don't remember enough about it. If you do you might go there. Sorry I'm not more help but I do remember the show even though I didn't really watch it.

I've seen all the features after "The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1934) save for "Under Capricorn" and my current favorite is "Shadow Of A Doubt." I especially like Teresa Wright's performance as she wonders about her favorite uncle. But there are many great films in that catalogue.
I recently watched "Blackmail" from a TCM night of early Hitchcock and it was very interesting as it was England's first sound movie. I'm still waiting to get through the others.

Somebody has a documentary (History or Military Channels) about the man who invented the dam buster. It's interesting how many types he had to go through. They have film of tests of those that were golf ball shaped (complete with dimples) and the barrel shaped, with and without the wood casing. I think the first one they dropped didn't work as they were to close to the ground. A later one did. So much of the height of the drop and the air speed and angle of the drop were critical to where the thing would break up or work as it should. Very interesting story.

I understand. I feel much the same way about Bette Davis. I really don't care Joan Crawford (at least after 1940) but I know some really love her. I know they both can act.

He's a cynic of the highest order. As good as he is in "Kwai" he spends most of his time either trying to get out of or complaining about the mission. That doesn't really make him likeable. He delivers smart aleck type lines with great verve. Those roles make it easy not to warm up to him. Those roles probably make up the majority of his work.

Holden was either "Star of The Month" or spotlighted back in September '06 with movies every Wednesday. You can see the promo in the Multimedia section.
-
I enjoyed but I had a hard time getting past the fact that Jean was really 18 yrs older than Holden.

Thanks for the covers. I remember you doing them in the challenge I was in before and how wonderful they were. I was hoping they'd show up again. Another great job.

Another thread was locked over in the technical issues forum. One that seems to follow the same topic that this one has become. Everybody might want to consider their postings.
Julie Andrews where are you?
