HBO and TCM aren't ran by the same people just because they're Time Warner. Also this is the General discussion not the TCM Admin where you're supposed to ask questions (that's at the bottom of the front page).
I just had to laugh at the your edited post. I am probably misinterpreting something; otherwise this is really funny.

I will pass this thread. Thanks for the great photos and hints. Pure memory did not serve me well here.

Personally, for me, I would have liked to have seen a "golden era" series made from the GASOLINE ALLEY strip. If it was done, I'm unaware of it.
There were two movies. The first is noted in my post above. Gasoline Alley (1951) There was also Corky of Gasoline Alley (1951). I have not seen either but both got pretty good reviews, albeit not many. Probably does not qualify as a "series".

I will pass this thread, thanks.

How about Joseph Mankiewicz and Rose Stradner?

Here is yet another one I was surprised was made into a movie:
Gasoline Alley (1951)

There were a number of Jiggs and Maggie movies based on the Bringing up Father comic strip. The first appears to have been Jiggs in Society (1920) or Father's Close Shave (1920). I see that the Marie Dressler movie of 1928 has already been mentioned.

I made a redundant post and could not figure out how to delete it.

Is this a 30's or 40's movie? Is it British? I understand that trying to Google a movie using keywords from the plot often ends up with nothing but a link to a bunch of irrelevant pictures. What you describe rings a bell, but nothing that would help you. It sounds like a movie that would have Betty Davis or maybe Jennifer Jones in it.

5 Chick Chandler?
3 Will Hay?
6 Virginia Farmer?
4 Virginia Field?

'm not trying to bore you with any more questions, I just wanted to know what in particular made you not care for a couple more of the films you listed. I'm just curious again, I'm not going to pigeonhole you this time. I just didn't think that there could be anything wrong with The Sting. You've said you liked performances by Robert Redford and Paul Newman before. Once again, just curious.
Hmm. I think LawrenceA listed about 30 films in that post which he described as doing nothing for him. I would not be surprised if he wishes he had not posted in this thread.

Do "singing narrations" count? If so, I found Roger Miller's singing narration in Waterhole #3 annoying. I cannot say it ruined the movie, since the movie was not very good imho. I also found the constant singing of Leonard Cohen in McCabe and Mrs. Miller detracting as well. I found that movie terribly overrated anyway.

Resurrection is an excellent film. Haven't seen it in years but highly recommend. Excellent performances by Ellen Burstyn and Sam Shepard. It is shown on tv btw, watch it if you see it's on.
It would be dumb luck for me to actually catch it if and when it shows. It is not on Xfinity on Demand. It seems to be available to stream only on Hulu which I do not have. I could buy it on Amazon but I do not want to own it. I have found a you tube upload which I am watching. It is a bad print but watchable.

shutoo, I know I've seen at least 3 of them in movies. Please give us a hint that might jog the memory since it's starting to get painful trying to remember them. Thanks
I second the request. The first hint (names are related to things you might see on a farm) helps to narrow the performers some, but the pictures you find for the performer never match Shutoo's. I guessed Billie Dove for number 4 and it was wrong. Now I will attempt Binnie (wicker basket) Barnes for no.1.

Resurrection ? Ellen Burstyn and Eva La Gallienne
Ha. I finally found it myself but you beat me to it. I did not want the thread anyway
I have never seen that movie. No wonder I was struggling to find the answer. It looks like one I want to see.

Now that your thread has perked my interest I will read through it to see what others have already posted and whether or not if I may be able to contribute to its content in any "high" or "low" brow way
Examples of "low" brow posts are those by Dargo and me. You will want to avoid emulating such contributions.

Is no.4 Billie Dove?

When the pictures are too small to see the actual features, it helps if you can enlarge them. Since these photos are impossible to enlarge, it's difficult to say for sure who they are.
I tried using the zoom feature on Chrome to enlarge. It did not help. The features remained too blurry on 1, 5 and 7.

If the pictures are too vague, I'll try to find some new ones (but not from Google images, Thenryb
hehe)
I get your hint. Less blurry pictures would be nice but I still would likely have difficulty recognizing them. I would have a chance with 1 and 7 .

I didn't know that. I thought of Bates as a devil may care, up for anything
type of actor, but that's his right. Guess he had to go for backtal nudity.
Yes. I remember seeing his bare arse in King of Hearts.

I did post Pinky, but later as I looked, it didn't seem too fit all the criteria of the question. So I did delete it.
I am not sure it does either. It does not take place primarily in the rural Midwest but in the South. Ethel Waters is certainly not English. I have seen the movie some time ago and still do not remember any album scene, nor do I remember Jeanne Crain's role as something physically demanding. Also, if by star, Terrance is referring to Jeanne Crain, I think that was her only Oscar nomination. Oh well, maybe we will get one of those "that is not the movie I had in mind" responses.
-
Pinky perhaps. Jeanne Crain as the grandaughter. Ether Waters as grandmother. I swear I saw Princess of Tap provide this answer a couple of hours ago but her post seems to have disappeared. In fact, I was getting ready to post the answer and she beat me to it, but what happened to her post?

So then unless I'm again off the mark here, I take it that that "certain condition" you're referring to then might have "developed", say in this case, in the back seat of that 1958 Caddy I posted a picture of, eh Thenryd?!
To be sure, in those less liberated times:)

You must be referring, in a sly manner of course Thenryb, to what were once primarily in the late-1950s facetiously nicknamed "Dagmar Bumbers" such as this example on this 1958 Cadillac Eldorado...
Not quite. I was referring to grabbing a bumper (any bumper) and attempting to lift the car. An isometric exercise useful to relieve a certain condition which might develop at a drive in movie (perhaps one with Dagmar in it).
I have never seen that movie. No wonder I was struggling to find the answer. It looks like one I want to see.

George Clooney should host the next Oscars

If I were going to watch the Oscar show (which I have not in years), I would like to see Larry David as well. I doubt that will ever happen since much of his humor involves making fun of political correctness (e.g. the show called "Thank you for your service" in the latest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm)
