Greetings, everybody! My morning was spent at the dentist's office, where I had the rough edges taken off a chipped molar until I can get it properly fixed tomorrow. I had the rest of my teeth cleaned, too. And my right leg has been wrapped up again due to a resurgence of leg ulcers (possibly an infection, my doctor said, as he took a tissue sample for analysis).
As a result, I spent most of this past weekend in bed getting caught up on all the movies I've taped off TCM in the past few months. That alleviated much of the pain without drugs of any kind. Thanks, TCM!
And now, on to this week's movie trivia . . .

Friday's question: Who was the only actor to play one of the title characters in both THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and THE DIRTY DOZEN?
Good luck!

As far as I know, A MAN'S MAN, TOWER OF LIES, EXCESS BAGGAGE, TELLING THE WORLD, and SO BIG are lost. MIKE and CHASING RAINBOWS are incomplete.
And yes, an incomplete print of FLAMING YOUTH is held in the Library of Congress.
By the way, if a film has a synopsis in its TCM library entry, it has been shown on TCM. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but not many.

Claude Rains was Star of the Month in November 1998. I remember because he was on the cover of the first issue of Now Playing I ever received (as Capt. Renault in CASABLANCA).
But it's probably high time for another go-around . . .

Whew! Greetings, everybody!
I've been trying to log in for nearly two hours (off and on), using a variety of tricks I've learned over the past year, but no success until I tried something new. After restarting my computer, I opted for a slower connection speed when I signed in with my ISP, and this time I got in! Don't know if it was that particular tactic that it, but it's definitely going in my bag of tricks for the next time.
Now, on to this week's movie trivia . . .
