That's a super article. Thanks Darg Man.
The one historical concept I wish more people would absorb and realize (JakeHolman, NipkowDisc, mr6666, darkblue -- I'm looking at you) is that the National Socialist Party of Adolf Hitler had nothing to do with either socialism or communism. To say otherwise, is merely the pettifoggery of the stooge-in-the-street, the lout-on-the-streetcorner.
I thought all those "Macht Deutschland Vom Marxismus Frei" signs were a gag and he was secretly Socialist.

Hey Nip!
If you go to channel-428 on your cable service right now , they're currently playing that little remembered Christmas-themed cult classic I'm sure you'd be very interested in watching titled...
Holiday Hot Spell.
And starring, nope sorry, not your gal Shirley, but her 1st cousin twice removed(from Charley's Bar & Grill in Altoona PA for drunken and unruly behavior) Sherilyn Booth.
He should also checj out the holiday classic The 50 Foot Woman is Coming to Town. She sees you when you're sleeping and knows if you've been naughty or nice.

C'mon now here. Once again I can't believe I see nowhere yet mentioned without a doubt THE best picture of 1952.
Maybe because it wasn't even nominated, and MOST likely because the star in it had won this big prize the year before, but once again C'MON here, THE "Best Picture" and one that SHOULD have won that honor the year I popped into this world, AND one that's now days ALWAYS listed AND rated WAY above either High Noon or The Quiet Man OR for that matter this DeMille circus flick...IS....
Now how many times do I have to TELL you people this, HUH???!!!
(...ahem...think I feel strongly about this?)
LOL
I can't stand this movie or the showtunes esque music in it.

I've seen the Desert Song before. Subpar film version of the operetta with a WWII era message forced in. The music is nice but not a particularly good movie

Is there a difference between being beautiful or just pretty? Like I consider Mary Pickford pretty and Gloria Swanson beautiful or Norma Shearer pretty and Greta Garbo beautiful, etc.
I've always considered "pretty" as more for children and young women and "beautiful" for women with actual sex appeal.

Where does one get a look? I noticed that youtube has them but they don't appear to have subtitles - or are they very low in the frame?
The entire series is up on YouTube without subtitles but I followed along with my books on the series and various websites that had the film summaries. Like most propaganda films it is not difficult to follow. The acting and dialogue are very "obvious" with what they are trying to communicate (for example when it shows pictures of the main character in Japanese uniform under the sun and he is speaking in a sad voice he is reflecting on his forced service in the Pacific during the Japanese occupation, when it shows a montage of US soldiers and he is speaking in a hushed voice he is angry at the US). The books I have did help a lot with understanding it though. I have Jenkins autobiography from when he returned to the US and some other books on NK film.

Unsung Heroes -this is a film series from North Korea that is very heavily influenced by James Bond and espionage films (which were a favorite of Kim Jong Il). The first two movies revolve around a Korean journalist working in Europe who returns to South Korea to see American soldiers stationed in his country. He is asked by a North Korean agent to spy for the DPRK and he gets involved in the world of espionage. This movie is set around the Korean War but the foreign cars used are all 1970s American and British cars. The audience probably wouldn't know the difference though. Shots of England seem to stand in for the outside world too. The best scene is in the second movie where the US soldiers make a Korean woman in a car and one with a gun face off in a deadly opstical course in a scene reminiscent of the Connery Bond films. Interesting films worth a look.

Whenever someone around here goes into the achieves and pulls one of these old threads out like the Sarge just did here, those old members' postings will to attributed to them as a "Guest", as I believe they're not being listed as a TCM board member anymore.
Did they originally have to list as guests or did the moderators just delete their account after a while?

What is a day player? I've heard that used for Under 5's on soap operas. But at a movie studio, what does it mean? I thought she had a contract with Fox that wasn't renewed.
At any rate this might be seen as a somewhat fictionalized biopic to advance the creation of a new MeToo sub-genre.
Will it be very commercial...?
Yeah, I think we can assume that some very "culturally relevant" metoo scenes are going to wind up in this one. Call it a hunch.

Why are TCM programmers slamming the 1952 Oscar for best picture?

Yeah, I really don't think it's all thay clever. The transition from silent to soubd movies scenes were okay but I really don't think it's one of the greatest films ever like many say. Just didn't click with me.
