Although the idea of living in a constant bubble with all my old movie pals is an alluring thought..... Well, I might wait a bit to see if they go down in price, but I will probably end up getting one sooner or later. It'll be so cool to be able to watch movies anytime, anywhere!

OneSharpDame Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 TCM has the June listings up and Lubitsch will be the featured director on June 23rd. There are some great features. I don't know the entire programming history of TCM but a couple of them look like they are new to TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The local library has TROUBLE IN PARADISE. I've been meaning to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Mission accomplished. Watched TROUBLE IN PARADISE and liked it a lot. So many subtleties I had to watch it twice. Clever, challenging story. I was impressed with Kay Francis, an actress I've seen only a few times. Likewise, I've seen only four or five Lubitsch films. This is probably my favorite. I like NINOTCHKA; TO BE OR NOT TO BE. But this is one sophisticated comedy. The copy I watched was not in the best condition. But I doubt if there's anything on the New Release shelf I would have enjoyed more. No complaints!

JackFavell Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 redriver - You were so right to watch it twice. It is so light and airy, you can miss some great moments. Like drinking champagne that evaporates on your tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbabe Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 please add Ninotchka to this list of his films, and a great one at that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviefan1951 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 > please add Ninotchka to this list of his films, and a great one at that! Without a doubt, one of his finest movies - and Garbo's, too. Hope it is included in the June schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodGolightly Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Is anybody looking forward to Lubitsch's Broken Lullaby (1932), which TCM will be airing this Sunday at 8pm ET? The movie stars Lionel Barrymore, Nancy Carrollo, Phillips Holmes and Louise Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konway87 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Broken Lullaby (1932) is only drama Lubitsch made. But it wasn't successful at box office. But Playwright Robert Sherwood praised this film. I think this is Samson Raphaelson's second film as a screenwriter for Ernst Lubitsch. HollywoodGolightly, Will you post what you think about this film after you watch it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely will, although I might not watch it when it's on, since I'm recording it. But I've heard very good things about this one, I think I'm gonna like it.

scottman1932 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Of the three pre-codes TCM is showing, TROUBLE IN PARADISE is by far my favorite. There is lots of wit and sophistication in this film. The exchange between The Major (Charlie Ruggles) and Francois Filiba (Edward Everette Horton) regarding the return of Madame Collet's missing handbag is priceless! The way Lily and Gaston count the months of their relationship via the jobs they've pulled is quite humorous. There's great fun all through the movie.

audreyforever Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 TROUBLE IN PARADISE was so wonderful. Kay Francis is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I love her voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodGolightly Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Speaking of Lubitsch... I was taking a look at the Sept. schedule for FMC, it seems they're going to be showing That Lady in Ermine on Sept. 22nd. at 8am ET. It is the _only_ showing that is scheduled and this movie is not available on home video. This is a pretty rare chance to see the last movie on Lubitsch's filmography. Don't miss it.

HollywoodGolightly Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Just wanted to post another reminder before the weekend that Fox Movie Channel will be showing the rare Lubitsch film That Lady in Ermine next Tuesday (Sept. 22). This is a pretty rare one, and I think not available on DVD anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodGolightly Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Coming up next (9:45pm Eastern) is one of Lubitsch's best and most popular films: *The Shop Around The Corner* (1940) Feuding co-workers don't realize they're secret romantic pen pals. Cast: Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Frank Morgan, Joseph Schildkraut Dir: Ernst Lubitsch BW-99 mins, TV-G Don't miss this one if you've never watched it - and if you have seen it before, here's hoping you'll enjoy it again. It's a great way to start getting into the Holiday spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
