Brian Donlevy: An actor who never gets his due?
Dr. Somnambula replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I figured Sgt_Markoff and CaveGirl ran off together to film The Blue Lagoon 2. You decide which version they redo. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_blue_lagoon_1949 -

Nothing personal but I might have preferred Gene.

My current statement shows TCM SD/HD is moving to their Sports and Entertainment Package on October 10th. I have read where this is happening in other areas beside mine. For me, this is an extra $10/month. I can downgrade my package and save at least that much. It just means yet another annoying phone call to Comcast.

Well, you caught me trying to find the movie and the Kool-Aid guy. I do enjoy your personality. Remember Lloyd Price's song? Solid Gold 1959. So, who is the guy LawrenceA mentions from Minnesota? Me thinks his Pappy. I believe the Staples store in Napa, California. Then the one in Sonoma, California. They both opened after I moved away. The best movies ever made were in the silent era. Most recently, The General - Buster Keaton. -

You might be 0 for 2 Dargo. Kool-Aid was a different Jenkins from Iowa. I must ask where you found this title? Freddy Gets His Flexible Flyer. -
Kid pulls the trigger in 1952 classic film
Dr. Somnambula replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
The possibilities are endless to watch YouTube on your TV. I would have to assume Sepiatone has an HD TV and a decent Internet connection. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the standard input for HD TV. Many modern computers have HDMI output. All streaming products have HDMI. You should find a YouTube app for all of them. Roku still makes a product with analog connections for good old CRT TVs. With all that said, I don't watch YouTube on my TV. Just saying it is very possible. Oops! You need Wi-Fi for most streaming devices. Any wired router (gateway) will include Wi-Fi. If I want to see a kid pull the trigger, there's an episode of In The Heat Of The Night for that. -

I saw a TCM video for Peter Fonda yesterday afternoon. Was either before or after Susan Slade. Here it is: -
NAME A SCREEN CHARACTER YOU'D LOVE TO PITCHFORK

Well, I was quoting from the film. I would pitchfork Mr. Higgins for being such a jerk. Not talking plumbing. -

Why can't a woman be more like a man? -
I checked My Fair Lady using headphones on Watch TCM. It was in stereo. I agree. If TCM played my favorites, others would be plenty displeased. I enjoyed the hosts, which isn't like me. I believe Audrey Hepburn should have sung for herself in My Fair Lady. Alicia talked about it after the movie. Then Ben went into detail as to why Bogart didn't want to do Sabrina. At least six reasons, but there he was. He was different but excellent.

I watch MeTV on Xfinity/Comcast and over a sub-channel of KTLN. This is in the SF Bay Area. There are some problems with "chicklets" in the picture sometimes. I've been in touch with KTLN and Comcast is running a fiber feed in the next two weeks. (Not sure how many forum users are out here)

I am not crazy about The Children's Hour, Charade, or Wait Until Dark. I did watch My Fair Lady and Sabrina. Started to watch Funny Face, but lost interest. Kind of missed not having Roman Holiday and Breakfast At Tiffany's. Not complaining, just hope a TCM programmer reads this. Question: According to TCM, My Fair Lady was in stereo in 70mm and mono in 35mm. I did not sense stereo sound yesterday. Anyone aware of which version is used by TCM?
