A man is being escorted to prison on a train. He is handcuffed to a police detective. The two men are on the observation platform on the rear of the train when the train starts going over a bridge. In a desperate attempt to escape, the man pulls the detective off the train and the two go tumbling into a river. Do you know this movie? Funny, I was just thinking about It's A Wonderful World the other day. James Stewart and Claudette Colbert in a very funny comedy. I have an old tape of the film. It was on TCM a few weeks ago but I didn't get a chance to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Good work, Lavender! My next clue was going to be that the title was the same as the title of a song made popular by Louis Armstrong. 1939 was a big year for James Stewart with Destry and Mr. Smith. This movie may have been overlooked by some, but it is indeed entertaining. I highly recommend it. Lavender, you're up next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Thanks Miles, Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. It's A Wonderful World is such a fun film. My well worn tape must be more than 20 years old. next At a party, a man finds another man's ring in his cocktail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Well, I gave it a couple of days and no one ventured a guess. It is from this past weekend's Noir Alley film "Suspense" with Barry Sullivan. He finds Albert Dekker's ring in his drink. Dekker had supposedly been killed in an avalanche some time previously.

MilesArcher Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Thanks, Lav. In "Suspense", former juvenile star Bonita Granville played the "other woman" who was obsessed with getting Barry Sullivan back from Belita. In both his intro and wrap up, Eddie Muller never mentioned Bonita, even though it was one of her first adult roles. It was probably the only movie to feature two actresses named Bonita and Belita. Now, in this next one, a man and woman are on the lam from the law. At a roadside diner they see a car carrier truck pull in and the driver gets out to eat. While he is inside eating, they sneak into one of the cars that he is hauling. That way they catch a free ride for hundreds of miles. Here's a big hint: The title may remind you of something that Scarlett O'Hara was famous for saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Yes, Lavender. Besides the big hint, I gave another when I stated "in this next one", because "Tomorrow Is Another Day" is the next offering on Noir Alley. Ruth Roman is actually a blonde at the beginning of the movie, but she quickly attains her more familiar brunette look. Maybe if more folks on these boards would watch these noirs, we might get more questions about them. Good work, Lavender. It's your thread now.

MilesArcher Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It's probably about the saddest movie ever made. It's "All Mine To Give" starring Cameron Mitchell and Glynis Johns as the parents of the six children. The parents die and the oldest son, who is about twelve, is left with the task of giving his siblings away to other families at Christmas time. It's so sad that I can't watch it anymore.

It's based on a true story if you want to get really sad . It's such a good film and yes it;s heartbreaking. Dale Eunson and his wife Kathrine wrote the article first published in Cosmoplitan Magazine ,then the book and he and his wife wrote the screenplay for the film. His father was Robbie ( played by Rex Thompson) the eldest son. Yes, it's such a sad story, but take heart, I believe that the kids turned out OK. I knew someone must have seen this film that's shown on TCM this time of the year. Swithin wrote years ago that All Mine To Give was shown in school when he was growing up. I'm still watching the film , TCM will show All Mine To Give at 12 pm this Sunday. Miles, it's your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
