Yeah, when it comes to the Toho sci fi movies sometimes they air the original cut but other times they air the US dub for some reason.

A lot of future big names like Von Stroheim and Milton Berle claimed to have played bit parts in this movie but I think this guy might have just been a bit player whose name will probably be lost to history.

Firstly, I think that older "liberal films" like Broken Blossoms aren't "cringingly outdated" and can be enjoyed by modern audiences as well. Even fims you don't agree with politically can be enjoyable. Secondly >"America should go at it alone as it did in the past, and it doesn't need the world," etc. The reason for the late 40s and 50s US boom was because the US occupied half the world at a time when competing markets had been destroyed by WWII. I definitely wouldn't call the Truman Doctrine or America leaving a former Axis power in tact while dividing a "liberated nation" in half like it was East/ West Germany as "America going at it alone." Last, I wouldn't think the euphoric US image depicted in many films of that era is necessarily why they like older films. While you did have obvious propaganda at the time like Yankee Doodle Dandy, many of the films were actual critical of racism and economic problems. I think it's obvious that studio era movies are by far the most common type of film shown on TCM but I wouldn't think they like them as a way to feel safe or relive memories. Instead, many of them were honest enough to confront problems head on.

I can't find the video but her intro to Kind Hearts and Coronets was what I was thinking of in particular. She mumbled a bit and just kept a dull, monotone voice throughout.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with her knowing so much about classic Hollywood. For all we know she might have genuinely liked some of those films. What I dislike was her monotone voice and the way she didn't enunciate clearly. She was difficult to understand at times.

Yes. I think someone in another thread said it was Persona.

They also left up the warp up of Mon Oncle (I think) where he said an Ingmar bergman movie would be up next when really it was taken off the schedule.

Circus, Grigori Alexandrov, USSR Another "Soviet Hollywood" musical by Grigori Alexandrov. In this one an American actress named Marion Dixon (parody of Marlene Dietrich) gives birth to an out of wedlock African-American child and has to leave the US with a lynch mob on her tail. She escapes to Russia with a German conman who threatens to expose her to everyone if she doesn't obey him. Eventually he gets fed up and exposes her but the Soviet people tell them they don't support racism like in Germany and the US and sing a lullaby to the child and the woman marches along happily. This one has good production values and the progressive anti-racism message is in stark contrast to the kind of movies you saw coming out of Germany and America in this time period. Recreation of an American lynch mob in the movie Lullaby of different peoples of the USSR Historical sidenote: during the brief state enforced anti-semitism campaign of the USSR during the 1950s the Yiddish lyrics were edited out.

The remake of the Lodger and the day of Harold Lloyd look pretty interesting.
