deeanddaisy666 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Wow. Has everyone here except me seen The Asphalt Jungle? Sorry, Fredric. This week my hunk is Sterling Hayden. Holy hotness. I am watching it in increments so it will last longer. BOY, what a good movie. Oddly, on the theme of movie to television actors, while watching this movie I was feeling badly for Sam Jaffe. Here he was, a really accomplished actor, and he was reduced to playing second fiddle to Vince Edwards in Ben Casey. And a very unenlightened me at the time thought Edwards was a hunk. Phui. Another good one I hadn't ever seen was Johnny Eager. I was pleasantly surprised that pretty boy Taylor put in a reallly good performance. He's no hunk, but the movie was very enjoyable. Thank you TCM, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brackenhe Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I beg to differ stoney--Robert Taylor was indeed a hunk. But I do agree about Sterling Hayden too. Very smoldering, rawrrrr!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeanddaisy666 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I know, brackenhe! A whole host of people thought Robert Taylor was a hunk. But for me? Too pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeanddaisy666 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 path, Libeled Lady is wonderful. Useless? Not at all, not as long as we all have opinions, and I wager we do! I agree about Wednesday! I will need to have two VCRs going, as there are going to be THIRTEEN hours of tape worthy films. What black and white cinematic heaven! TCM at its best.

path40a Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 stoney??? Your comment seems to apply to a post I made December 18, 2003 (the only time I used the word useless in this thread) ... twilight zone? BTW, I too get a sense of relief when TCM's programming choices give me a chance to catch my breath and rest my TIVO & VCR (I use both every day!). I've finally had a chance to "catch up" on some films which I'd taped, which lately I haven't had the chance to do 'cause I've only had time to watch "A" (TIVOed) list films;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeanddaisy666 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 path, talk about Twilight Zone (cue the music). It's as if I were William Shatner and your post was out on the wings of that plane. I posted my comment and then when I went back I didn't see your post anymore! Okay, now I'm spooked and I have nooooooo idea how it happened. In FACT, I searched and couldn't find what I was posting to. Think I either need to have a drink or go lie down. Funny thing is, your old post led me to almost reveal the glorious taping I have to pay particular attention to this Wednesday is on my birthday. Too weird.

deeanddaisy666 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Thanks, path. I still don't know how I was responding to what I responding to! Anywho...apparently March 30th (thank you TCM) is another marathoner. I have it scheduled as a TWELVE hour tapeworthy day. But I missed Bed of Roses, and it was one of your selections. March is so busy, tape wise, that I ran out of slots on my VCR. Hopefully, TCM will re-run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviejoe79 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Everyone be sure to watch "Tovarich" tonight! You're all going to love it! And I'm eager to know what you think of it Path, since you haven't seen it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
path40a Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Thanks for the heads up, moviejoe & feaito. I wasn't able to watch this one last night 'cause I played tennis instead, but I verified that I did successfully "TIVO" it and I plan to watch "Tovarich" soon!

sweetbabykmd Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I too missed "Bed of Roses" last week, after waiting almost 2 years since the last time it was shown. I moved and my cable wasn't hooked up yet. I am so glad to see "Baby Doll" is on next week, that's another one that isn't aired often enough. I know it was on last month but it was during the wee morning hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeanddaisy666 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Argghhh, two years??? TCMprogrammer, any chance of re-programming Bed Of Roses in the near future? Sure would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Baby Doll is aired pretty frequently. Please don't complain that TCM airs your favorite choice in the wee hours - anyone who has enough interest in films to post on a website can figure out how to record on a VCR.

sweetbabykmd Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Wow, I guess you're out to get me today. TCM does not air Baby Doll frequently, I check for it monthly. And I could not record it because I did not have cable that week due to moving, or I would have. I just wish it would come out on DVD so I wouldn't have to wait for it.

nsallieharding Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 April 4th is a great day at TCM. All day long they will be playing Charley Chase silent movies , some with Oliver Hardy in them. After that there will be Fatty Arbuckle movies. The whole month of April is full of goodies, the best month of programming for TCM in a long time.

deeanddaisy666 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Holy Worn Out VCR! I'll say, April is an amazing month. And, AND, I'll finally get Time Of Their Lives (fingers crossed) from beginning to end. Thank you, path, for your heads-up. April 14th is another 12 hour taping day. Thank you, tcmprogrammer.
