TopBilled Posted August 15 It's the third time Davis has received this honor. She was previously TCM's Star of the Month in 1999 and in 2006. They are devoting four full days to her, meaning there will be Bette Davis films all morning and all evening. They will show 51 of her feature films, spanning the years 1931 to 1987...plus a documentary about her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamesjazzguitar Posted November 6 Really enjoyed the first night of Bette Davis as SOTM; The run of films from one year, 1934, was nice and I had never seen The Big Shakedown and it has been years since I saw Jimmy the Gent and Fashions of 1934. Bette had some different "looks" in these films: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many times do you see Conrad Nagel and Sidney Fox billed above Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart? I imagine just this one time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted November 12 Thanks LsD for your comprehensive list. CONNECTING ROOMS is the one I've been wanting to see. I think THE STAR is in the public domain, so that's why it airs on TCM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they included it to complete the package of films for that DVD, but I have read elsewhere that it is in the public domain. It wasn't really a Fox production. It had been an independent production that gained release through Fox. After the distribution deal ended, Fox did not hold on to the rights. It's possible the producers sold it to WB, but I doubt it, because usually that happens when the studio plans to remake it. There was no remake. I think its copyright eventually lapsed and it fell into the public domain. WB uses it because they consider Bette Davis one of their stars, and it's free, so why not. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lpetiti Posted November 14 I wish Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte was airing. I finally got around to seeing Baby Jane after watching Feud, which also made me interested in seeing Charlotte. I think it's on Amazon Prime? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe they did change the schedule. I only made the point since I just watched Marked Women and the fact that this Davis film is one I "promote" since it isn't one of her more famous performances \ films, it is very well made and a sound "product" of the WB studio-system, and somewhat of a transitional year for Davis: 1937 films before her Oscar winning performance in Jezebel, then Dark Victory,,, and we all know the rest.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedracer5 Posted November 17 I'm wondering if Marked Woman aired instead of the Bette Davis documentary Bette Davis: the Benevolent Volcano. I looked at Tuesday's schedule and the documentary isn't listed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueyedblonde1956 Posted December 10 Dam I missed the first 2 weeks of her early works...again. did see the 3 and 4th week though. I just love bette Davis.. noone like her ever again. To bad she never worked with John Wayne I know she can ride horses. Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Not sure a Davis and Wayne paring would have worked since, IMO, Wayne is only an "OK" actor. Of course Davis had male co-stars that were also only so-so as actors (George Brent), but in most of those films the male roles was secondary so a top notch actor wasn't necessary. Of course Flynn was at his best in The Sisters, giving a fine sensitive performance. Maybe Wayne could have done something similar. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted December 10 I think Davis would have done a good job in ROOSTER COGBURN, in the role Kate Hepburn played. That might have been an interesting way to have Davis and Wayne work together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
