"Open All Night" film (s)

[Jayo]

Could anyone please tell me the name of the film(s) whose scenes appear in the opening title

for the late-night "Open All Night" movies on TCM. (I do hope that my question is understood.)

Thank you very much.

I understand the question, but I haven't got an answer for you. They may just be simulations of old movies. The intro that they used to have for their early morning movies consisted of animated Edward Hopper paintings.

I recall seeing a film on TCM in which there was a scene, and I said to myself (I frequently talk to myself), "That scene is in the TCM late-night montage." I don't remember what the film was.

First, let me say that I am glad to know that these types of quirky details are noticed by others, because they are certainly noticed by me.

 

I would LOVE to know what film or short the clip with the people dancing comes from (they look rather dead too).

 

I do know that the scene when a car pulls up to the curb and then the front lights go off is from Hitchcock's THE WRONG MAN. I recently recorded it a few nights ago on Henry's SUTS day and I will confirm this.

How about the furs? That store has a name.(It might be "Hobson Fur Company"). That should be easy to look up.

Several of the scenes are from KILLER'S KISS. Here's the "Open All Night" intro:

 

 

 

This question has come up a few times here. This is one of the threads on the subject:

Good, someone also confirms the scene from THE WRONG MAN.

I just want to say that I love all those little shorts TCM shows. I find them entertaining and interesting to watch, and they somehow capture the magical and mysterious feeling that those kinds of films possess, as well as the "community" atmosphere that Turner Classic Movies offers everyone.

 

One that they've shown for years, but I always like it, is the semi-animated short with a few weary late night people going home (?) on the subway, a young woman in what looks like a brownstone apartment building window removing (or putting on?) a fur coat, an old man sitting by a window. autumn leaves flying up the street. I think it ends at one of those Hopper-like diners. I believe I have it on several of the films I've recorded from Turner, and I love it.

*Strangers on a Train* is featured in "Open All Night" also.

I'm pretty certain all the images in that opening are from Hopper paintings.

The open all night diner (with the couple seen through the window) and Hobson Fur Company scenes are from the Steve Martin version of Pennies From Heaven. I believe the counter scene with James Whitmore as the server is from The Asphalt Jungle.
