You guys are too good..! I have a feeling Terrence1 and LavenderBlue posted the right answer at the same time...so...the two of you can arm wrestle over the thread...
They both give good and, for me, tough puzzles since I really suck at remembering movie titles.

YES! Thought so. I used to get him and the other Rupert (Everett) mixed up due to their same first names......
I recall they were both in The Madness of King George, and were both excellent. That is one of my favorite movies.

That inspires an idea!
Why not put all these type of threads on their own page and call it "The TCM WHINE Club"?

An excellent idea. That way they could all be in a convenient place to be unread by those who have the power to do anything about it.

No one is going to replace RO.
I would propose a variety of hosts who are specialists in different genres. That way they can be experts in their specific areas. Rotate them around. And yes, some diversity mixed in too.

That sounds expensive and might trigger even more wine club ads.

I would pick movies based on works of W. Somerset Maugham, starting with anthologies based on his work:
Trio
Quartet
Encore
followed by The Razor's Edge

Upon further reflection, I think Shutoo got it right. The other woman was Kay Francis' maid played by Margaret Hamilton.

This sounds like a Kay Francis film where she's an 'aging' gold digger passing on her know-how to a younger woman Mildred Coles (had to look that one up!)..Play Girl..but I don't remember any other woman being involved, so I could be on the wrong path...
That is one of the ones I looked at and rejected it because it did not appear to have three women who would likely have been together at some memorable time in the movie.

I have tried hard to recall and find this movie based on the descriptions you have provided but nothing I come up with fits all of the criteria. There is always something missing such as the number of women involved, the changing of a flat tire, so I am just going to wait for someone else to figure it out or for you to give a different sort of a clue. (I do not mean "the older man had gray hair" or "the jewelry given was diamonds", but more like why the three women were in a car and where were they going)

Actually, The Great Silence can be seen on YouTube now. Here is a link [...]

What Princess of Tab wrote is what I recall reading about why Frank Capra stopped directing. That said, I declare this thread to be open.

Hey! I'VE been to Mattfield Green, anyway!
And ya know what I thought of the place?
Meh.
(...ironic, ain't it)
Enthusiasm for Mattfield Green is probably an acquired taste.

Meh-- is that a word in English?
It certainly is:) Both Merriam Webster and Oxford English dictionaries list it as a word meaning lack of enthusiasm.

At one time, I actually cared about which picture actually won, but my disgust with the selection of Shakespeare in Love sort of ended that. Now I pay some attention to the nominees just as a way of "preselecting" the movies I want to watch, but I cannot bear to watch the actual ceremonies.

What you may be missing with this movie is that at the time this coach was the most beloved coach in the United States. His death was like a national tragedy for some people. Also the response to it was very similar to the airplane crash death of Will Rogers who was also a much beloved national figure.
I am pretty "meh" about this movie regardless of this. That said, there is a Knute Rockne memorial at the Mattfield Green rest stop on the Kansas Turnpike. I doubt it qualifies as a tourist attraction.

I have survived many years without this release.

For reasons I cannot explain without unhealthy introspection, the Johnny Depp movie Ed Wood is one of those I always stop and watch to a conclusion whenever I stumble across it while surfing. Among its many attractions is the portrayal of Tor Johnson by George "The Animal" Steele.

The Wild Bunch is my second favorite western of all time. But I'm also a horrible, awful, bloody mess.
I consider The Wild Bunch almost tame in comparison to The Great Silence (1968) albeit considerably easier to find and watch.

Speaking of "forgotten" westerns, here is one I really liked that is almost impossible to find these days: The Great Silence (1968)

I tend to think of Ford as an "every man" type of actor, rather than a "dynamic" or forceful actor.
Same here. For the most part I liked him in his 40's roles such as Gilda, and in most of his westerns. I did not care for most of his later movies such as Dear Heart or Pocketful of Miracles, but I think it was because I did not like the movies rather than because of him. One later movie I did like was The Brotherhood of the Bell (1970) which I have not seen in decades.

"Lady For A Day" was remade some years later. What was the name of the remake and who played Apple Annie? Who directed the picture?
Pocketful of Miracles, directed by Frank Capra, with Bette Davis as Apple Annie.

The Last Valley(1971) a Micheal Caine movie involving a group of Protestant soldiers who stumble across a valley occupied by German Catholic villagers during the 30 years war. The valley is untouched by the ravages of war. Not sure it is either a classic or "forgotten", but it has been a long time since I have seen it.

When Heath Ledger, in one of the screen's greatest performances as Ennis del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain" lost to Phillip Seymour Hoffman for his excellent "impersonation" of Truman Capote in "Capote" - it wasn't really a performance, more of a conjurer's trick- the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' penchant for rewarding reasonable attempts at playing real, famous men became more apparent than ever before.
I had the same thought when Richard Burton in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" lost to Paul Scofield playing Thomas More. Granted Scofield's performance was not an impersonation.
