SullivansTravels Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 THE WILD PARTY (1929) with Fredric March and Clara Bow, slated to kick off an evening of March films next Tuesday (5th), is no longer on the schedule. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinemaInternational Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 A true shame because its a rare title. The title replacing it (Design for Living) is quite easy to find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarjoe Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Oh. I thought it was the Beatnik Noir with Anthony Quinn. Well bummer both ways.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmovieviewer Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just to complete the picture, it looks like TCM moved the remaining Fredric March films earlier on the schedule and added another Constance Bennett film Outcast Lady (1934) as the first film for the daytime theme the following morning. I too was looking forward to seeing The Wild Party — per MovieCollectorOH's data it hasn't been shown on TCM since 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det Jim McLeod Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I thought it was the 1975 one with James Coco and Raquel Welch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LsDoorMat Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I wondered about that. The last time The Wild Party was on TCM was in the VHS era and Wild Party is not in the Universal Vault series yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Markoff Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 the James Coco flick is very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight08 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Here we go again. Another rare film that TCM had on the schedule and now knocked off. It's very frustrating. I was really looking forward to this first talkie from Clara Bow. TCM has shown "Design For Living" several times already. Bummer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a movie, you aren't missing anything. Outcast Lady is better, tho not much, with Ms. Bennett gamely taking on a heavier role than usual (watch instead the silent A Woman of Affairs, 1928, with Greta Garbo).

Dargo Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 So, the wild party's no longer scheduled you say?! (...Well, I'm certainly glad you told me this NOW, and before I began wasting my time looking for that old toga I put somewhere in my closet years ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Nope, we're just left with The Party (1968): Was this the first toilet humor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm different from most film lovers but I do look forward many times to seeing films if only for their historical perspective or their rarity. I've been a big fan of Jean Harlow and Clara Bow for years so when Film Forum was presenting a festival of Fox pre codes I went to NYC for a few days just to see "Goldie" and "Hoopla" which were playing as a double feature. "Goldie" is a lousy film but it starred Jean and Spencer Tracy and being a Fox film it's never shown anywhere other than a film festival. For Harlow fans this is the most elusive film. I wanted to see "Hoopla" as this was Clara's swan song on screen and another rarity which has never been televised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been known to slog my way through a movie because of who the director was, or who was in it. I made my comment so that people would not feel bad about missing out on something good. And if people feel compelled to see it, they can type The Wild Party 1929 into the search bar of their favorite browser. They might be pleasantly surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
