Good guess, vallo . . . but incorrect.
Yesterday's answer: NOTHING SACRED (1937).

Tuesday's question: What film begins with this written prologue: "New York, skyscraper champion of the world, where the slickers and know-it-alls peddle gold bricks to each other, and truth, crushed to earth, arises more phoney than a glass eye . . ."?
Good luck!
-
Vallo's in first with the correct answer! Good job!
-
Monday's question: "He's just as funny as his old man was fierce!" was the ad tagline for what movie sequel?
Good luck!

Greetings, everybody! I left my computer on last night with today's TCM schedule page on top. When I clicked to page 2, I thought my computer was having a heart attack -- all this blipping from one page to another. And when the dust settled, I see all these brand-new TCM webpages! I've been clicking around a while, and I like pretty much what I see. The TCM Database looks like fun.
One little quibble: while I like the look of the new schedule pages, I really wish the movie info would open in another window instead of throwing you right into TCMdb when you click on a title. That clicking back and forth gets a little tiresome.
Anyway, it should be fun! I'm looking forward to exploring these new pages -- so many good things happening at TCM lately.
Now, on to this week's movie trivia . . .
-
Warner Home Video will be releasing THE CHAMP on DVD next month, so maybe you'll find it there!
-
I've seen BLOOD MONEY, and describing Elaine as "a naughty little girl" is like saying the Grand Canyon is cute!
-
Different episodes of the series have been released as extras on Warner Home Video special editions. The Vincente Minnelli program was released with THE BAND WAGON, Howard Hawks with BRINGING UP BABY, and I believe George Cukor with DINNER AT EIGHT. There may be one or two more I don't know about.

Friday's question: What Oscar-winning actor once said, "Most people seem to think I'm the kind of guy who shaves with a blowtorch. Actually, I'm bookish and worrisome"?
Good luck!
-
Is that all there is . . .
If that's all there is, my friend,
Then let's keep dancing . . .
Let's break out the booze
And have ourselves a ball
If that's all
There is . . .
Et tu, Leo?

FINALLY, I CAN LOG IN AGAIN! HALLELUJAH!!!! Thanks to Mongo for taking over for me while I was trapped on the outside looking in.
Thursday's question: In what film does Elaine Stewart say, "There are no great men, buster. There's only men"?
Good luck!
-
Yes, I did! I wrote two e-mails to TCM on Tuesday, one through the Feedback section and the other through their all-purpose e-mail address (tcm@turner.com -- write it down, it's a keeper). And just for the heck of it, I tried to sign in before I left for work last night, and I got on!
I'll be back on the trivia boards later today . . .

I think Lynn's right. In both a corporate and supportive sense, TV in Great Britain is a very different animal from what we see here. The changes in TCM UK seem to reflect the local market, and don't look like they'll be exported.
-
It's called STAR IN THE NIGHT, the first film that Don Siegel directed. It won an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Subject in 1946, and is available as an extra on the new DVD of CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT.
-
Friday's question: What movie ends with John Lund saying, "I think that this is our dance, Mother"?
Good luck!
-
That's THE GOLD RUSH (1925), currently available on DVD.
-
Thursday's question: What actor was originally cast as editor Walter Burns in the 1931 version of THE FRONT PAGE, but died three weeks after production began?
Good luck!
-
Feaito, you're on a roll! 'Way to go!
-
Wednesday's question: What is the name of the lost spaceship Commander John Adams (Leslie Nielsen) is looking for in the 1956 film FORBIDDEN PLANET?
Good luck!
-
That's it, feaito! Good job!
-
Well, if you wanted to get the biggest five Busby Berkeley films, these would be the ones. Sounds like the additional disc would cover all the rest, too.
It's a shame Warner Bros. doesn't have the rights to THE GANG'S ALL HERE, but this will do, this will do . . .
-
Tuesday's question: In the 1988 film WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?, what was the password at the Ink and Paint Club?
Good luck!
-
Correct, feaito! DeMille played a cameo role as a card dealer in the first film he directed (with Oscar Apfel), THE SQUAW MAN (1914).
-
Monday's question: What was the only cameo role that Cecil B. DeMille played in one of his own films?
Good luck!

Good luck!
