patful Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Both great movies, looking forward to watching them again, especially *Hattie* . I'll watch anything with Sothern, Ragland, and Virginia O'Brien. Nice to see *Rio* , too, one of the few Carmen Miranda films TCM is able to show. Link to post Share on other sites

Now *there* is someone I would really like to see get a day of "Summer Under the Stars". Carmen Miranda, I mean. Obviously it couldn't happen without Fox being willing to lease some of their films to TCM. She's never been honoured in SUTS, has she? Link to post Share on other sites
patful Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 *She's never been honoured in SUTS, has she?* Definitely not. I even tried to schedule a day of her films in my Challenge entry, but couldn't because of the Fox stranglehold. The closest we can get is Mickey Rooney's impersonation of her in *Babes on Broadway* . Love to see that one again, too. Link to post Share on other sites
