Sadly, no print of CONVENTION CITY is known to exist. On the plus side at least you can enjoy SAFE IN HELL on TCM. I know--I keep hoping someone will find one in a vault somewhere.

I love those behind the scenes pictures! They are sometimes funny--like intimate love scenes with a camera 2 feet over their heads. Ive got one of Greta Garbo in the final scene of Queen Christina and the "ship" is just the prow. When I think of the scene in the movie, I am seriously impressed--it doesn;t occur to me that she's anywhere but on a ship, out in the middle of the ocean.

Thanks mark! July looks to be a pretty good month. I'd personally like to recommend Summertime (1955) on Tues. Beautiful cinematography and Hepburn gives a wonderful performance as the lonely secretary who secretly longs for romance in Venice. It's a character who could have been sort of pathetic and annoying, but Hepburn plays her with a sharp intelligence under the wistfulness--there's a sort of balance there bewteen the practical woman who's managed on her own all these years and the hopeful romantic. It's Love I'm After is really good too, especially if you like screwball comedy. And I'm looking forward to seeing Theif of Baghdad and Son of the Sheik.

It's a very good movie regardless. If you haven't seen it, you should. Hepburn gives a wonderfully wistful performance--she's heartbreaking. And the cinematography is gorgeous!

What!!! Bad guys being smart enough to play a trick like that (or even to be able to hit the hero with a six shooter or a laser blaster or whatever?) Inconceivable!!

What about...Bette Davis dropping her handkerchief so George Brent can pick it up for her, thereby noticing what a fine young woman she is, at that. But I can't remember the title of the film - see? I know the cliche scenes, but not the specifics. Anway, I do know that it is an old movie cliche to have a young lady attempt to get a gentleman's attention by nonchalently dropping her lace handkerchief near him so he can retrieve it for her and notice her charms as her hands it to her. *Mr Skeffington I can't think of any other movies like that Ive seen that aren't parodies. I'm pretty sure Bugs Bunny uses it at some point though. Ive read it in book scenes several times--maybe women really did that at some point in history? Actually now that I think about it, I may have used a variation on that trick once or twice myself, leaving books or something in a guy's dormroom back in college so I could go back to get it or better yet, get him to bring it to me...baaad Tracey.

Pies in the face? I read somewhere that Mabel Normand may have been the first...oe possibly Ben Turpen?

or the damsel tied to a log headed for the spinning sawmill blade! I actually saw a variant on that one in a recent movie, Sherlock Holmes (2009). Rachel McAdams is chained to the conveyor leading to a spinning saw blade in what I guess is a slaughterhouse. The blade is used to saw pig corpses in half. I think "Scooby Doo, Where Are You? may have done something similar, possibly with Shaggy and Scooby. LOL

Why can't TCM seem to get the plot of Summertime (1955) right? Everytime they have aired it, the description reads "A schoolteacher..." Hepburn's character was a secretary, not a teacher. Ive seen other little, but obvious mistakes over the years too. I don't usually complain about TCM, but this one drives the OCD in me crazy!

*Birthdays this week:* *Susan Hayward* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m16cM6XlwHw&feature=related *Lena Horne* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__4YpxYLqhQ&feature=related *Glenda Farrell* *Nelson Eddy* Balalaika http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxUiQcI7xnQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdHdZtNAMNI&feature=related *Ray Harryhausen (and his creations--seriously impressive.)*

Kingrat, Martin Roumagnac stars Marlene Dietrich and Jean Gabin. It's about a woman with w a past (the only kind of woman, with a few exceptions that she played)named Blanche who moves to a small town when her uncle dies and leaves her a shop. She meets a rich lawyer and wants to marry him for the money, but he's already got a wife, who's dying of some movie disease. Blanche meets and falls in love with Martin (Gabin) who is a relatively poor builder. Well, somewhere along the way the wife dies and Blanche decides to marry the money, which, as you can see from the video, drives Martin into a jealous rage. It's the only film of Dietrich's (besides the silents and Ive seen a couple of them) I've not seen, with the added bonus of Jean Gabin as a co-star. Here's a tribute video I found a while back:

OK, now that Ive had time to go back and read everyone?s schedules? Filmlover?I love all the Robin Hood movies! Alan Hale was the best Little John EVER! He and Ruth Hussey in one schedule?fantastic! The Sound of Music as a Halloween film! LOL I like the Movies for the film festival idea?I?m not that picky?I?d just like to be there? Lzcutter?Glenda Farrell as STOM means lots of opportunites toplay pre-codes?cool! And Torchy Blaine? Charles Coburn?he?s one of my favorite character actors (and he does look like the Monopoly Man?now whenever I play Monopoly, I?m going to hear Coburn?s voice when I read my Community Chest cards). And I like the sort of sneaky ways you managed to get more Joel MacCrae and Fairbanks Sr films in there?LOL Countessdelave? Huttons?who knew there were that many? (and the name ?Ina Rae Hutton and her Melodears? gave me a giggle!) I like your ?triples? too, especially the triple by-pass theme?clever! I like the night of Ida Lupino films?she gets overlooked?a lot. Btw: ?Louie, Louie? is apparently the State Rock n Roll song of Ohio? Hollywoodkjk?Bette Davis and George Brent?he was another one of those leading men who just stood back and let the woman do her thing..and Bette does! Everyone vs the Nazis?well it took Hollywood a while, but once they stepped up, wow! Love it! And who knew there were that many ex-Olympians in Hollywood? (Interesting that they kept trying to make them into Tarzans though) Powell-full Musicals?puns really should be banned?LOL Fedya?like I said, your schedule was so good, it made my question go right out of my head. All of it?terrific! Scottmacgillivray?Gloria Jean is star I?ve never heard of. Thanks for introducing me to her?she sounds interesting. I like the Ships theme?and it goes well with the TCM cruise coming up?The French connection films are great?I like that you contrast real French films and Hollywood French films. And a whole day of detective films! Super! Jamesinarlington?saw your Garbo tribute and did a double-take?thought you were someone else?great choices! Irene Dunne?she?s one of those stars I always forget about?until I see a movie of hers and go , ?Oh yeah, I LOVE Irene Dunne!? LOL Chuck Jones? birthday tribute is great?those Looney Tunes cartoons are the best. And I LOVe William Powell (and that?s one I never forget!) And I didn't know I could opt out of the actual voting? I honestly did this for fun and a chance to maybe pop a few ideas into the programmers heads...

BTW, does anyone know why my ' and -- keep disappearing? I'm really not totally punctuation challenged, I promise.

Programming Notes: The reason I asked to use a week in 2015 is two-fold: First, 1/25/2015 will be my 50th birthday and I figure I can play anything I darn well please (I earned it!) AND I wanted a week with both my birthday and Jan 31st in it. (I?ll explain why further down) Also this week gives me Tallulah Bankhead and Ernst Lubitsch's birthdays (among others) to play around with... SOTM is Charles Boyer. It looked as though he?s never been SOTM (but maybe I?m wrong). Along with Fred MacMurray, (who was my first choice, but would have required too many Premieres to do?boo) he was an excellent leading man who worked with most of the major female stars of the time and one who let his co-stars shine. He was also very versatile?he could play world-weary, evil, noble, eccentric?you name it, he could do it and remain charming through it all. I chose the films for this week based on films I like (Gaslight, Algiers, Barefoot in the Park) and a film that I?d like to see (History is Made at Night). If I had to program the entire month, I?d have included the following films: Together Again (P) Break of Hearts Garden of Allah First Legion Conquered Gaslight Tovarich All This and Heaven Too Confidential Agent Mad Woman of Chaillot (P) Fanny How to Steal a Million I have seen and participated in numerous discussions on these boards in which someone always says "Will anyone even remember (insert modern star/movie) in 50 years?" That got me to thinking about classic stars and movies and how many were once top box office, but are largely (in the general populace) forgotten today. I also thought about those stars who have become pop icons--everybody knows their name/face, but have they ever seen one of their movies? Sooo I decided to base my 1-2-3 on this idea. "Forgotten Box Offices Bonanzas"?movies which were hugely successful when they were released, but haven?t been heard from since, except on TCM (and sometimes even not then). I used the list of top box office hits from 1929-1949 to make my choices and divided them up by decade. For this week I did the 1930's and chose One in a Million (#1 in 1937); Viva Villa (#1 in 1934) and Hell's Angels (#1 in 1930...and since Aviator came out, maybe not so forgotten) ?Everybody Knows Your Name"?I chose stars/directors who have become legendary; that is, everyone knows their name and maybe a fact or two, but may not have ever seen any of their films, so I chose 3 films for each that, in my mind, showcases their talents. For this week, I chose Shirley Temple, the Queen of Child Stars. The Littlest Rebel The Little Princess The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer Others that would fit this category are John Wayne; Audrey and Katharine Hepburn; Marilyn Monroe; Bette Davis; Joan Crawford; Alfred Hitchcock; Humphrey Bogart; Cary Grant "A Legend in His/Her Own Time"?features stars who were very popular in their own time, but who are largely forgotten (except amongst classic movie fans, of course) today. It was really hard to choose?there are many, many stars who fall into this category, so I chose based on my own curiosity and decided to feature Deanna Durbin for this week, with the films:Three Smart Girls, It Started With Eve and Can't Help Singing. Were I doing the entire month, I?d choose stars like Maria Montez, Tyrone Power, Wallace Beery, Marie Dressler, Janet Gaynor, Irene Dunne, Spencer Tracy or Greer Garson. All of these stars were top box office performers in their day and sadly, none were recognized in an informal survey I did amongst friends and acquaintances, even the ones watch classic movies in a casual way. I created a new feature?Manic Monday for screwball comedy. The first month of Manic Mondays would be: His Girl Friday; It?s Love I?m After; The Ex-Mrs Bradford and for this final week, The Lady Eve. Later that day I scheduled a series of Cinderella stories including the Czech film, Three Wishes for Cinderella, which sounded very interesting and I'd like to see. As I was searching films for the schedule, I noticed that Lloyd Bacon directed a lot of films I like, so I featured him on Wednesday morning. On Thurs afternoon I featured one of my favorite couples, Rosalind Russell and Robert Montgomery. Friday Evening didn't have a pre-determined theme, so I decided to do a night of murder played for laughs. The Gazebo, The Trouble with Harry and Arsenic and Old Lace all feature people who end up playing Hide the Corpse to hilarious (to me anyway) results. I wanted January 31st in my week because it is?wait for it?National Wear a Gorilla Suit Day! All the movies featured include either at least one scene in which someone wears a gorilla suit OR a ?gorilla? character played by a man in a gorilla suit. My Essential is Cabaret?it has a powerhouse performance by Liza Minelli, great score and choreography by Bob Fosse and?wait for it?a gorilla suit! YES! TCM Underground Viy (1967). Ive heard about this one for years and have yet to track down a copy.

Tracey, yes, that's perfectly OK. Get that schedule in, gal! We're looking forward to it. I'm trying--my computer failed to save my document last night, so Ive had to make up 4 hours of work. Grrr!

Oh wait! I remember--I have come across several films I might want to use that were produced by say, First National or a company with the name of the producer (like Selznick) but which were distributed by MGM or WB. Can these be used without being a premiere?

Oh hell. I stopped to read Fedya's schedule and it was so good my question went slap out of my head. Poot.

Wasn't Lombard sometimes called the Profane Angel due to her ability (and inclination) to swear like a sailor? Combined with her gorgeous looks? I remember reading somewhere that she developed this habit out of self-preservation--if she swore like a sailor, then she was automatically "one of the boys" and didn;t get hit on as much.

Interesting that Spring Byington's mother was the doctor. That would have been around the turn of the century, right? Not too many women went that route back then. A couple of other moms and dads: Katharine Hepburn's dad was a doctor and her mom was a housewife/suffregette/birth control activist. Spencer tracy's dad was, I believe, a truck driver Marlene Dietrich's father was first in the military, then became a policeman Gloria Swanson was an army brat--her dad was in the military
