Merle Oberon to John Turturro.

1. Greta Garbo was in Ninotchka with Melvin Douglas. 2. Douglas was in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House with Cary Grant. 3. Grant was in Destination Tokyo with John Garfield.

This is due to March 2nd being left open to the winners of the Viewer's Choice poll going on this month. I you look at the flash schedule, the dates are in correct correlation with the days of the week, with March 2nd left blank. On the text schedule, I believe, the dates are correct with incorrect days of the week. Hope this helps.

For those who have not seen it, tonight at 8PM is the great Cary Grant and Irene Dunne comedy, My Favorite Wife.

What is going on with these people who take the greatest channel on television for granted? TCM continues to show a majority of black-and-white classics, so why is there such aggravation when they show a modern film in prime time every once in a while? I rather enjoy being able to see some very good "modern classics" letterboxed, uncensored, and without commercial interruption. As far as silents go, in March we not only get our regular Silent Sunday Nights, but we also get Charlie Chaplin every Wednesday night. TCM realizes that people want silents on their programming, so even if they must omit it for their salute to Oscar in February, they make it up to the viewer in March. If memory serves me correctly, they did the same last year with Harold Lloyd following their 31 Days of Oscar. And Robert Osborne...If you look back at some of his picks, he has chosen such 80s films as Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) and Pennies from Heaven (1981). If he wants these modern films on TCM, why must you pity him for introducing them? One final item: For those planning to go back to their video and DVD collection, many great classics that are shown on TCM are not available on either of those formats.

That was A Star in the Night (1945). It was the directorial debut of Dirty Harry director Don Seigel.

I'd have to agree with many of these. It Happened One Night sparked my love of classics. Many people I know who have only slight interest in the classics have a love of the previously mentioned Marx Brothers and Hitchcock films (Incidentally, I saw Vertigo in the theater recently, and it truly was an experience, especially when Kim Novak introduced it in person). My friend became a fan of Humphrey Bogart by watching Play It Again, Sam, then feeling an obligation to see Casablanca. To add to the list, I would also say some of the Billy Wilder and Chaplin films that I became obsessed with as a novice classics fan: Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, Double Indemnity, Modern Times (After I recommended my friend this one, he told me: "I never thought a film this old could be so funny.), and The Great Dictator.

Random guess for game continuation: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly?

Exactly.

This one should give it away... Hint #3 - A Dozen Discussing

No... Hint #2: Details Dissected to Deliver Doubt Sorry about the alliteration. It just needs to come out every once in a while.

Certainly, as a child, I was shown the typical must-see-during-youth classics, i.e. The Wizard of Oz (1939), Singin' In the Rain (1952), and almost all of Disney's animated classics, but I basically grew up to neglect almost all the classics I came across. Later, I did gain knowledge of the older side of cinema and watched TCM every once in a great while. Two instances I can recall were Some Like It Hot (1959), to which I didn't pay enough attention to merit my full appreciation, and A Night at the Opera (1935), which I only caught the end of. It wasn't until I decided to borrow It Happened One Night (1934) from the local library that I discovered the true brilliance of the classics. After that film, I have become a devoted fan of the classics and this great station that provides them to me on a daily basis. Plus, my second viewing of Some Like It Hot and A Night at the Opera have put these films among my favorites.
