This one is nearly 20 years old. Man.. now I feel old.
I’m so old, I met a few Indians who were alive during the Civil War and who fought Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876.
Here’s the math:
The Battle = 1876
- 15 years = some Indians born in 1861, teenage Indians fought in the Custer battle.
I saw them introduced at Rodeos in 1949, when I was 7 years old.
1949 – 1861 = 88 years old, that’s how old some of them were in 1949.
These Custer survivors used to be introduced at some big Rodeos in the late 1940s:

I think maybe the term “TCM Film Library” actually has two separate meanings, and many TCM people use this term interchangeably for both kinds of libraries.
I think one definition means: 1) their own in-house library in Atlanta, i.e. the films they keep stored (in electronic form) in a storage room in Atlanta. And the other means: 2) ALL the films they have access to, even if many are stored in other libraries belonging to other film companies and distributors which TCM rents from time to time, such as the Fox films, Disney, Kino, British films, and other domestic and foreign film studios and distributors, etc.

I think I understand what you are saying. Technology and formatting issues aside, there is a 'place' -- either physical or virtual-- where the films are kept. That's what you're saying, right?
Yes, some of the films (in a video format) are on file, in a room or vault, right there in Atlanta all the time. That is what their Atlanta librarian said on the air. Some films, maybe a few hundred or maybe a couple of thousand. I don't know the amount they have in-house. This, of course, does not include all the other films that have to be shipped to them from other libraries, such as the 20th Century Fox Library.

They're coming up to you, Fred, with carving knives in their hands. You better run.
I'm just talking about what the Atlanta TCM film librarian said to Mr. Osborne on the air when he was introducing a movie several years ago. He said there was an in-house, on-site, real, physical "film" library inside the Atlanta TCM facility, where he worked.
Of course they really aren't in "film" form anymore. They have been dubbed to some kind of video format. But they are video forms of Hollywood films.
And, yes, again, I know TCM rents films (in video format) from OTHER film libraries around the country, in addition to using films (videos) directly from their own in-house library. That was his whole point about how fast they can arrange a "salute" to some recently-dead actor, since some of their salute films (videos) ARE ALREADY ON FILE AT AND IN THE TCM PHYSICAL LIBRARY IN ATLANTA ALL THE TIME.
-
I'm talking about the physical TCM film library that is on file in one or more rooms in their facilities in Atlanta. I don't know if it contains hundreds or thousands of films.
And of course we all know they rent films from other companies' film libraries too and probably have electronic copies of them shipped to TCM in Atlanta, from the Los Angeles area and maybe New York and other places too.
-
Well Fred it comes down to the context around how the term 'library' is used.
A room in the TCM Time-Warner Atlanta facility with shelves in it, with the shelves filled with movies in some kind of electronic form. There are other "libraries" in other cities that require the films (in electronic form) being mailed to TCM in Atlanta or sent to them via satellite or some other electric form. So, they do have a local in-house library, and other companies' libraries they rent films from, around the country. The one the librarian was talking about on the air is the local one in Atlanta. I don't know how many films are in it.
Surely, plenty of copies of NORTH BY NORTHWEST are sitting on a long shelf somewhere within the Atlanta facility.

So, James, TopBilled, and Fred, what do you think of Izcutter's explanation?
i heard the TCM Librarian say on the air when he was a guest programmer that the reason they could put together a "salute" to some famous actors that have died recently is because they can pull films directly from the TCM LIBRARY which is IN ATLANTA. That's where he works, that's what he does, ie physically take films from the TCM Library and put them on the air within a few days after someone dies. Not every actor of course, but who ever they have in films that are on file IN THE TCM LIBRARY IN ATLANTA.

Noel Neill ("Lois Lane") on the set of "Superman" with Clark Kent (birthday boy George Reeves).
Why didn't you post a picture of Superman AND Clark Kent at the same time?? I never get to see them in the same picture together.

I'm going by what Bogdanovich says in his book. Everything he says is very pro-Lewis, including that on the set, he was constantly engaged in hijinks with the crew, and they all loved it.
Of course none of us have big egos and none of us ever engage in highjinks.
