bansi4 Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I just noticed on TCM that they added Hope Lange to the "In Memorium" interstitial which I thought was very nice. Mongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicsfan1119 Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I saw that, too, Mongo! The have one more to do, and I'm sure hoping it will be the last one for this year. We lost so many, and so many were the best of the best. ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarmark1261 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I am surprised at your milktoast response to the In Memoriam piece. As a musician and lover of classic film it actually brought me to tears. It most certainly deserves some kind of an award. It was a true piece of art. Luckily I got it on tape ,played it back and plugged in my guitar and came up with one of my best solos I've played...maybe I'm just too emotional. To me it was the best thing I've seen on TV all year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansi4 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 What more can we say guitarmark? We sat and watched with an ache in our hearts as each of the late performers faded in and out on the TV screen, some greats, near greats and those that didn't quite catch the brass ring. I recall we discussed the "In Memoriam" in detail due to the song that accompioned the piece which I believe is the same song for 2003. Always a well done segment on TCMs part which most members do appreciate. May they all rest in peace. Mongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschips23 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 The end of year In Memoriam is always moving, though especially this year--not only because of the loss of such big stars as Gregory Peck and Katharine Hepburn, but also because of the beautiful footage of less celebrated actors. I was especially moved by the beautiful closeup chosen of Martha Scott, (I believe it was from "Tenth Avenue Angel"). Did anyone notice if Anthony Caruso's image had been included in the montage of those who've passed on--if it was I seem to have missed it. I was reminded of his death this year after viewing him in "A Star in the Night" the beautiful short directed by Don Siegal which TCM shares each holiday season. Mr. Caruso's long career certainly earned him a place in the memorial spot, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
