MGMWBRKO, thank you and TCM for all the effort you have gone to to get these.

Over on Digitalbits, Barrie Maxwell's Classic Comings article says that Fox is working on a Tyrone Power Collection for sometime in Summer 07 consisting of Son of Fury, Captain from Castile, Prince of Foxes and The Black Rose.
shearerchic, I'm shocked...shocked...to find you got outscooped by Miss Goddess. She revealed this on Jan. 11th (a few pages back). But I still like ya, anyway.

Sorry.
Clue #14: Not normally, but here fifty cents is two bits.

I am so happy over the month of April that I forgot to say, "Thank you, TCM Programmer, for another terrific schedule" and I am sure others echo those feelings.

I saw one of the special showings of the restored Napoleon a few decades ago with the live orchestra, and it was an amazing experience. Would like to be able to see it that way again.

Correct, The Robe was the first Cinemascope feature that really got it going. (I should have said "two years" instead of "three" because for some reason I was thinking The Robe was 1954.)
When I posted about widescreen starting in the Fifties, I knew about The Big Trail and Napoleon, but thought I would leave them off since they were exceptions and not the start of regular widescreen features. But, lol, I also figured someone else would fill in that info for me about those two films. Thanks.

Cartoon Alley will continue again in March after the 31 days of Oscar month is done. But you can bet there will be Oscar-winning or nominated cartoons after movies throughout the month of February.

Seven days from now (February 1st), we will begin the 5th Programming Challenge, this time called The Great TCM Programming Challenge - Take Five!. Read the very first post in this thread for details. I hope to see you join in.

Sorry for inadvertently duplicating some of your info, Kyle, but I was writing while I guess you were posting.

Boy, there is something for everyone in April.
Rita Hayworth is the Star of the Month.
And I see some special nights I look forward to seeing:
1.A bunch of Charley Chase shorts.
2. Those thought-lost films mentioned previously by TCM, including Double Harness and Stingaree.
3. a night devoted to composer Miklos Rozsa (The Killers, Brute Force, Ben-Hur, and The Lost Weekend)
4. a Bogart night including one rarely aired, The Big Shot (on my last Challenge schedule, a coincidence?)and a terrific crime drama, The Desperate Hours.
Other things I am excited about:
Last month, I mentioned when the March list came out that it seemed they were airing a Crime Doctor movie every Saturday morning about 10 AM. That continues through all of this month's Saturdays, too.
TCM is also airing, among many hardly-ever-seen films, these pictures: Lost Horizon, the silent Red Mill, The Next Voice You Hear, Clash of the Wolves (a silent Rin-Tin-Tin movie - once the biggest star in Hollywood, lol), The Slender Thread, and so many more.

No guesses? Okay...
Clue #13: A Marine sergeant is killed at Iwo Jima.
-
...and I just want to say, "Thanks, TCM, for being the best movie channel in the world!"
-
Wow, here is something else to celebrate! According to the totals, this is the 5,000 thread in General Discussions.

Nyet.
Clue #12: A young version of Joseph and an angel.

Well, it's been almost twelve hours without a guess, so here's a new clue:
Clue #11: a South American taxi driver.

But it is more than the DVR, I am sure. I remember the last time this occured when I was playing something back on the DVR and discovering it then, and I thought it was the DVR, but now that I have seen the pixilation and the freezing while actually watching TCM in real time I know it is the broadcast from DISH. I haven't seen the freeze on anything but TCM but I was watching something the other day on another channel and saw a brief pixilation.

Ace in the Hole/Big Carnival was done in 1951, three years before widescreen really began.
-
I saw Boom many years ago, and it was truly terrible. As was another Burton Taylor flick, Doctor Faustus.
-
Sorry, no.
Clue #10: A Mystery section rendezvous.
-
Nein.
Clue #9: Lots of bathtubs.
-
keep trying.
Clue #8: An unfinished speech.
-
No.
Clue #7: Yankee Doodle

I hope you will all take part in the TCM Programming Challenge starting on the 1st. You could put these into the schedules. And the TCM programmer looks at the schedules, as he has in the past and used some of our ideas in his programming.
