JoeBond Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Good to see that Breakfast At Tiffany's is back on TCM as well as Dial M For Murder. Another good star of the month with Grace Kelly and a night dedicated to directorial debut's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodGolightly Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I didn't even notice Breakfast at Tiffany's on a first glance. Needless to say, I'm tickled pink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottman1932 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Cool! A Marie Dressler day! TCM hasn't shown CHASING RAINBOWS since 1995! Two rarely seen films, a 1929 Ann Harding film and a Wheeler & Woolsey's MUMMY'S BOYS. Way to go TCM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumble54daddyo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Good gawd amighty, Marie Dressler! I gotta look, see if there's any of her teamups with Polly Moran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodGolightly Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 They're also showing what sounds like a Mexican horror movie on the 20th: *The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy* (1965) A mad scientist creates a murderous robot to steal an ancient Aztec treasure. Cast: Ramon Gay, Rosa Arenas, Crox Alvarado. Dir: Rafael Portillo. BW-65 mins, I'm sure somebody will be happy about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 November is filled with little gems: A Salute to Steinbeck A documentary on Johnny Mercer A salute to Vivien Leigh and one to Joel McCrea The movies that were preempted for the Karl Malden tribute are back on the schedule A day of silents and early talkies *The Delinquents* with Tom Laughlin before he became Billy Jack *The Long Grey Line* *Once Upon a Time in the West* *A Matter of Life and Death* *Picadilly* *Tender Comrade* and *Ride the High Country* "I think I'll go this one alone."

HollywoodGolightly Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I was excited at first when I saw Once Upon a Time in the West on the schedule, then I remembered it's also being shown in October. (Still a good thing to see on the schedule, of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumble54daddyo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yup, you got it. A sleazy U.S. hustler, K. Gordon Murray, got ahold of these stupid, incompetent, Mexican-made flicks -- and released'em in the U.S. as Saturday-afternoon kiddie flicks, doing huge local TV promotion and spending more on posters than wasspent on the whole flick. Imagine dropping yer kid off at a local theater and having'em spend the afternoon watching The Brainiac and Aztec Mummies. How many young minds were warped? Mine was.

rumble54daddyo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Rooney took the role of the older brother in the musical remake, "SUMMER HOLIDAY." I'm a big Rooney fan, but Pee-Yeww. Stick with "AH, WILDERNESS." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Lots of goodies including the rarely seen Garfield, *Blackwell's Island* (1939) and scarce Tourneur western, *Great Day in the Morning* (1956). Thanks TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsmellofsuccess Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Also: The Duellists (wanted to see this for a long time) House of Bamboo (not to mention a few days of Robert Ryan that month) Road House (first-rate) Days of Wine and Roses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CineMaven Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Wow ClassicStarlets. You got the jump on TCM City's usual town criers. Congrats. I see a lot of my favorites coming on in November, but I see some films I'm particularly interested in seeing: Stanwyck's "The Gay Sisters" (though I also wish TCM would air Stanwyck's MY REPUTATION." There'll also be a slew of Robert Ryan films, "Dark Passage" (my favorite of Bogie & Bacall and due to the great Moorhead)...AND one of the most romantic movies ever made: "BLACK ORPHEUS." Marpessa Dawn and Breno Mello have GOT to be, hands down, one of the most gorgeous-looking romantic couples in films. See this film if you haven't already. I promise you, you will book the next flight to Brazil after viewing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemoviefan Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Sands of the Kalahari hasn't been on national TV in quite some time. I'm hoping TCM can show a letterboxed version of it. Has TCM ever shown The Fleet's In before? That's one from Universal's Paramount library. Poor Pretty Eddie, one movie I never thought I'd see on the schedule, will make the rest of the TCM Underground fare look like Citizen Kane by comparison.

hlywdkjk Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Well, this is one of the most schizophrenic looking months that I've ever seen. One can't swing a cat in this schedule without "hitting" on Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan or Alfred Hitchcock. But it is nice to find Pat O'Brien spread throughout the month. Maybe I am just too thick to catch on but just what some of these primetime line-ups have in "common" is beyond my comprehension tonight. Like Monday November 16^th - *The Roaring Twenties* *Ziegfeld Girl* *Yolanda And The Thief* and *The Corn Is Green* (Maybe this is a Guest Programmer Night.) But I did catch on that Johnny Mercer nights continue every Wednesday though out the month. So that must explain - *Road House* *Macao* *Li'l Abner* and *The Belle Of New York* But who'd a thunk Mr. Mercer had a hand in these four films. Items of interest to me this November include - The Ealing Studios production of *Nicholas Nickleby* Franco Zefferelli's *The Taming Of The Shrew* Jean Cocteau's *Orphee* (followed by *Black Orpheus* the following Sunday Night) The reappearance of *Dial 'M' For Murder* which has been absent since Rob Reiner hosted the first editions of "The Essentials" Another night of '30s musicals (and "The Girlfriend Of The Whirling Dervish"!), Thanksgiving with Astaire & Rogers, a Silent Sunday Night of baseball shorts (including an early "Felix The Cat" cartoon) and Ben Mankiewicz introducing *The Incredible Mr. Limpet*. And 11 (Yes. 11!) Falcon mysteries in a row to make 'markbeckhuaf' truly thankful this coming November.

movieman1957 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 *The Incredible Mr. Limpet.* That will make my bride happy. I can't see anything from the link but I'll take your word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
