Below Zero was quietly rebroadcast tonight between Love Me Tonight and Love in the Afternoon.

I had to rewind my DVR to get a look. WOW!
I never liked the train intro and this is such a welcome change! It's a perfect fit for what I think TCM is all about.
Thanks for pointing it out and thanks, too, to TCM for always giving us something new and interesting to look at!

At the very least The Three Marx Brothers appear seperately in the color film - The Story of Mankind (1957)
Wheeler and Woolsey appear in techincolor sequences in three films -
Rio Rita (1929)
The Cuckoos (1930) - 2 Strip
Dixiana (1930) - 2 Strip
Laurel and Hardy -
The Rogue Song (1930) - The film is not complete but Laurel and Hardy sequences survive and are in color.
The Tree in a Test Tube (1943) (documentary short)
Babes in Toyland (1934) filmed in black and white was colorized during the colorization craze!
One of Val Lewton's last produced films, Apache Drums (1951) was shot in technicolor.
William Boyd has a cameo in The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) but I don't know if he ever starred in any features in color.

That's cool - I confused you with the other fellow, Randy, who was trying to compile the list.
Unfortunately WARMING UP is considered a lost film at this time. It's a shame.
I've seen nearly all of Dix's sound films. I'd like to see him play against Jean Arthur, whom I think is one of the greats.
Dix made nearly 100 features. All his sound films survive. Not true of his silents. Many are lost.
Though one was recently "discovered" in the Russian archives, film historians were aware of it's existence.) "The Call of the Canyon" (Famous Players, 1923) Richard Dix, Lois Wilson
See this thread for more on these "lost" films.

John Garfield's only color release is the WB comedy short - Swingtime in the Movies (1938)
Like the other WB stars showcased, (Among the others are Bogart and the Dead End kids) Garfield is seen in the studio commissary.

Glad I could help you out with WARMING UP. Congratulations!

I thnk we've just witnessed one of the more unique and interesting introductions ever given on TCM.
While I was a little shocked by Ebert's appearance I was none the less intrigued by everything he said about the film. It was very gracious of Robert to give nearly all the air time to Ebert!
I'm really glad that TCM had the great good judgement to include Roger Ebert in this festival. It would be interesting to have Ebert as an Essentials co-host. Or at the very least a guest programmer for a whole evening.
Thanks again TCM for an interesting evening of programming!

All I can say is Larry Harmon seems to have been an awful and selfish person... It makes me quite angry to read this.
Truthfully, I never liked clowns! This makes me dislike them even more. What a horrible, horrible man.

I read once, perhaps it was on IMDB, that during the Dick Van Dyke show, Van Dyke called Stan Laurel to get clearance for a Laurel and Hardy bit.
Van Dyke he was shocked to find out from Stan that neither Stan nor Ollie owned the rights to their characters and subsequently their own likenesses.
It seems impossible to believe but I guess it's plausible. Perhaps the Hal Roach company owned them and or their rights were sold when Hal Roach sold his library.
Mostly it seems rather sad and typical.
Anyone know the details of this?

Carl Reiner's THE COMIC is one of my favorite movies about movies!
I can't believe it's not on DVD but it's finally being shown on TCM. Decemeber 30, 2010!
Van Dyke as a fallen Stan Laurel type silent film star and Mickey Rooney as his side kick, "Cockeye" give wonderful performances.
This film is long overdue for some appreciation!
Have I missed a thread somewhere? I can't believe more people aren't as excited as I am about this movie playing on TCM.
Anyone else love this movie as much as me?

A freind of mine, since passed, could never get over the fact that a ventriloquist was a sensation on RADIO!
I know Bergen's success had a lot to do with the brilliant writing but if you give it even the slightest thought it's such an absurd notion!

Anyone else want to see a special programming tribute to Radio Shows and stars that showed up in the movies?
TCM could use these to start -
Paramount BIG BROADCAST FILMS
RKO Fibber Mcgee and Molly - Kay Kyser - Gildersleeve
Columbia Whistler and I Love a Mystery...
What others can you name?

I was watching on channel 292, Time Warner Cable in Los Angeles. This is not the HD channel.
Also, as MyFavoriteFilms indicated, the first bar scene is where it starts or just slightly before the picture gets a little jumpy.
But it is the bar scene that went bad the last two times I watched the film. Same exact places and look to the pixilation and triptych effect the last two times. I figured it had to be the transfer.
Since I hadn't been seeing this type of trouble with any of the other films lately I made my post simply because this film has been highlighted three times now by guest programmers and has never been given its proper due!
Many thanks for reading my thread and responding. It is greatly appreciated.

Tonight was the third time in memory that TCM has aired Sam Fuller's PARK ROW.
The transfer pixilated in the same places for the third time. I kept thinking it was my cable provider but it's clear now it's the transfer.
Hasn't anyone in charge noticed this before? I stopped watching the first two times hoping I'd get to see a pristince transfer the next time out but realizing this is as good as it's going to get until someone does something about it I'l finallyl watch it to the end!
Please - can someone fix this before it's too late?

Did anyone record Robert Osborne's Curtis Memorial Intro to the Defiant Ones on October 10th?
I accidently deleted it and would like a copy. I can trade other Osborne Intros and Wrap-ups if you'd like!
Thanks,

I wrote to tell then that in regard to photo number 5.
Richard Dix and Jean Arthur in Warming Up - Paramount 1928
It's a baseball movie and there's a scene on a boardwalk. I think Richard Dix wins the doll by throwing baseballs.

Circus Queen Murder has aired before. I recorded it and have it still.
I've been told So This Is Africa has been shown on TCM but certainly not in the last 6 years and quite possible not the last 10.
BUCK PRIVATES has been shown 4 times this year alone and is scheduled again for next week.
There must be a reason this film keeps hitting the schedule while others lanquish in the TCM vaults.

To the best of my viewing eye, Intros have never been reaired. One reason might be that the wrap-up afterwards usually intros another film and Robert Osborne might not physically look the same from one end of the movie to the other.
After having seen enough of the Intros over the year it's safe to say they're recycled by being slightly rewritten and reshot for the evening's new theme.
In this case both times Circus Queen Murder was previously shown before non-intro hours. Obviously it's not a big deal but it's also obvious with all the movies being shown one slips through that's not a definitive premiere.
Also - the biggest Columbia title not to air thus far is the notorious Wheeler and Woolsey feature SO THIS IS AFRICA. Heavily edited during the production code era this film is considered to be one of the most censored (if not _*the*_ most) movies coming from the major studios during this period.
While some early Columbia's have played several times, Circus Queen Murder case in point, I hope SO THIS IS AFRICA is shown at least once before the Columbia cycle runs out.

Tonight Robert Osborne stated that Circus Queen Murder was a TCM premiere. It was shown on September 25th in 2009 at 9:45 am ET.
This happens every once in a while. Shouldn't it be considered a premiere if it's not shown in prime time?

Yes,
Thanks TCM! Gald to see the shorts are not getting "short" shrift!!!

There was a TravelTalk before Tish this morning.
That's the second one I've missed in the last couple of weeks which I've never seen.
I think this stinks... I wish they'd let us know which shorts are going to air!

Count me in on this one too! These are the kind of movies I' m more likely to tune in to.
How about TCM?

My pleasure. Yeah, Thelma Todd was the best. It's a real tragedy her life was cut so short.
What might have been?
