To try and fix the formatting...arrgh. NOT happy with the new system...
-
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

Speaking of TV movie shows of childhood...anyone remember the *Saturday Children's International Film Festival? *I think it was CBS in the late 60's early 70's. It has a snooty sounding title, but they played cool foreign feature cartoons like The Snow Queen and weird obscure European films geared towards children.
I remember that I think--did it feature Kookla, Fran and Ollie? (And BTW, what happened to the feature for quoting another's post? Did I miss something?)
-
Cheeta is still alive, appartently. He's in his 70's and living in the Cheeta Primate Foundation in Palm Springs.
-
Bette Midler used to attribute it to Belle Barth back in the 70's, but I bet it goes farther back than that. (Barth was from the 50's and 60's)
-
Thought of another reason I like old movies, but I'm not sure I can explain it clearly. Anyway, here goes: I like knowing the origins of things. Or maybe the backstory. I get a kick out of watching a more modern movie or show or music video even and recognizing the older film it is referencing or paying homage to, whether that homage is tongue-in-cheek or serious. I like being able to watch a Lady Gaga video with my teenage daughter and point out that she's trying (if not very successfully) to reference Metropolis or that Madonna has stolen very heavily from both Marilyn and Dietrich for her image. I like knowing that "Harlow" isn't just the name of Lionel Ritchie's grandaughter, but the name of a talented vital woman who died much too young. Or that the film Rango references just about every western ever made. It's fun. Does that make sense?
-
Real rocket launch footage, interspersed with shots of the 4 male stars lying in La-z-boy recliners making "G force" faces; Venus inhabited by young women in short skirts who somehow speak perfect English;Zsa-Zsa Gabor as a scientist(!) working in her lab, then leading a palace coup, all while wearing wearing a flowing chiffon gown; a world-melting weapon housed in a painted refrigerator box; and a giant rubber cave spider!
WIN!

"Putting on the Ritz" from Young Frankenstein !

The 19th TCM Programming Challenge: Easy as 1-2-3
in TCM Program Challenges Archive
Posted
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. Here's hopin'
Silent Sunday--The Magician--based on a play by Somerset Maugham
