yanceycravat Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I know it's early but I figured someone has to start the list! Below are several films I believe have never aired on TCM. I think it's about time for another Lost and Found Series! 1) Private Screenings - Rod Steiger (Been way too long since this aired. Would be nice to have a Rod Steiger day or evening on his birthday in April.) 2) The Glass Key (1935)Ed Beaumont is the personal friend, advisor and bodyguard to Paul Madvig, the political boss of a large city. When a mysterious murder is committed---the son of a Madvig political opponent---Madvig's enemies try to pin the crime on him because he is waging a clean-up campaign they oppose. Ed risks his life and his reputation to find the killer and clear his friend.George Raft, Claire Dodd, Edward Arnold3) The Scoundrel (1935)A ruthless, cynical, hated publisher is killed in a plane crash, and his ghost must wander restlessly unless someone sheds a tear for him. Noël Coward, Julie Haydon, Stanley Ridges4) The Silver Cord (1933)A domineering matriarch is less than happy when her son brings home his new bride.Irene Dunne, Joel McCrea, Laura Hope Crews5) Winterset (1936)Immigrant radical Bartolomeo Romagna is falsely condemned and executed for a payroll robbery. Years later, his son Mio sets out to find the truth of the crime and to bring to account the gangster Trock Estrella.Burgess Meredith, Margo, Eduardo Ciannelli6) The Great Gatsby (1949) - Screened at the TCM festival and should have made it's way to the airwaves by now!"Adaptation" of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novelAlan Ladd, Betty Field, Macdonald Carey "While the merry bells keep ringing, may your every wish come true!" Happy Holiday!

film lover 293 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Four Marion Davies silents--I've seen three of them online, so I know they're available: "Janice Meredith" (1925)-- Set during the American Revolution, film got rave reviews from contemporary critics--I saw the film on YouTube some time ago. "The Fair Co-ed" (1927)--Saw a lousy copy on YouTube--would Love to see a Good copy on TCM. "Her Cardboard Lover" (1928)--Saw on a site I've forgotten--copy was OK, but would like to see TCM show it. "Zander The Great" (1925)--Have not seen, but would like to see TCM show it. Hope to see these, or other Davies silents, in 2017. Thanks in advance, TCM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I'd like to see either of the only 2 remaining films nominated for acting Oscars in the 1940's that I haven't seen: 1940's They Knew What They Wanted, and 1947's Ride the Pink Horse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshaKatz Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks, film lover, for starting a Christmas List and I'd like to add a movie to your list, if I may: "The Counterfeit Traitor" (1962) - William Holden and Lilli Palmer - I haven't seen this film in quite a long time and it features one of Holden's finest performances as a WWII oil merchant who has been profiting by working with both the Allies and the Nazis. He reluctantly agrees to work with the Allies, who have put him in a bind, and to spy on the Germans providing the Allies with much needed information on oil refineries. This film, directed by George Seaton, got lost in 1962 when it was released, probably because 1962 produced so many exceptional films such as The Miracle Worker, To Kill a Mockingbird, Dr. No, Cape Fear, Lonely Are The Brave, The Manchurian Candidate, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Lolita, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, David and Lisa, Lawrence of Arabia, The Days of Wine and Roses, Ride The High Country, just to mention a few. The film, which has a wonderful score by Alfred Newman, seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle and truly rates a viewing on TCM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedya Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The Cheaters got a TCM airing five or six years ago on Christmas Eve (or maybe Christmas night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanceycravat Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'd like to see either of the only 2 remaining films nominated for acting Oscars in the 1940's that I haven't seen: 1940's They Knew What They Wanted, and 1947's Ride the Pink Horse. I would like to take a moment to let you know Ride the Pink Horse has a very nice release through the Criterion Collection. Available on DVD and Blu-Ray. If you don't want to own it, check your local library. I'm sure you could request a copy from them. https://www.criterion.com/films/28066-ride-the-pink-horse?q=autocomplete Yancey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The Cheaters got a TCM airing five or six years ago on Christmas Eve (or maybe Christmas night). You're correct. It had a Christmas Eve airing and a Christmas Day airing in 2008. That was a while ago. And I know this film is a favorite of Robert Osborne's. It should be airing around the holidays.

MarshaKatz Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi, everyone. I made an error in my post yesterday and wish to correct it by thanking yanceycravat for starting this "Christmas List" thread. I'd like to add a film called "Junior Prom" (1946) starring June Preisser, Noel Neill, Jackie Moran, Judy Clark, Frankie Darro, Freddie Stewart. It's a personal favorite of my sister's and mine and we loved it when we were kids about to become teenagers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see that one too! - Yancey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
