Sukhov

Yeah and Paul Lynde too. Though maybe with him it was a bit less of a surprise.

He/ she is just trying to rile people up. I doubt he even really cares about West Side Story at all besides using it to start a flame war.

That was a pretty funny MST3K episode. *sun is blocked out* Joel: "It's okay. I'm more of a night person anyway." Also the chant of "Sampo! Sampo! Sampo!" like a cheesy commercial when it is first introduced is pretty good. A very enjoyable one of Ptushko's fantasy films of which he was known for in Russia.

Also on March 24 at 2 AM as part of the TCM Import is Melvilles' Les Enfants Terribles. I own the original Cocteau novella of this. It's short and a good work.

1. Trois Couleurs: Bleu (1993) Krzysztof Kieslowski, France 2. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, Takao Okawara, Japan 3. Stalingrad (1993) Joseph Vilsmaler, Germany 4. The Extras, Nabil Maleh, Syria From the foreign editions- Lefteris Dimakopoulos, Periklis Hoursoglou, Greek edition

Don't forget Chu Chin Chow (one of the really underrated versions of Ali Baba). Tyrone Power Sr. had a main part in the original stage version of this one.

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon Next: The Star (2002)

Chaplin composed music for many of his films and his are probably my favorite themes/ soundtracks from the silent era. I never watch them with any public domain score and I don't even like the Gold Rush re-release with a jazz score.

Yeah, I think his hair is pretty nice too. I don't mind it. Also I think he looks a lot like the Russian actor Konstantin Khabensky.

I listen to whatever soundtrack comes with the film. These movies were usually done with accompaniment and that is the way I watch them. It does annoy me however when composers add completely different music that does not flow with the film. Sometimes the soundtrack used for the film shown on TCM will be too much and I mute it. I prefer when the soundtrack is something soothing and calm like Grieg, Bizet or other romantic era composers that are often selected from.

The old logo looks pretty futuristic for its day.

Nicht Schummeln, Liebling Next: Palestine

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

The Texas Rangers Next: Bob Hope

Yeah and they should really bring back the original Silent Sundays intro. too.

Beautiful film. One of my favorite Wenders' films, right up there with Wings of Desire.

The Housemaid (1960) Next: main character dies

Utopia

For me, it's whenever famous, attractive personas play shy, loner characters. WAY too many films come to mind. Marcello Mastroianni as the shy, celibate priest in The Priest's Wife. (because of course Mastroianni is the first to come to mind when you think "celibate" ) Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby. I know this one is a classic but I feel his role would have been much better given to Harold Lloyd or someone like that instead.

Oliver!

Johnny Guitar Next: Clint Eastwood

Julie Andrews in Victor/ Victoria Next: played a criminal
