cody1949 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just want to let you know, Prince Saliano, that I love these threads of yours. Keep them coming ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyelman Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 yep, very interesting threads! I have seen All Quiet on the Western Front, and KING OF JAZZ ran on AMC a long time ago, I forget if it was all two color Technicolor, or just parts of it(watched it to see Paul Whiteman Orchestra, with a very young Bing Crosby and the Rhythmmakers.) Some of these movies sound familiar(Hide out was the title of an MGM film as well a few years later) But, came across something interesting, you can actually buy one of the films from WB! Hell's Heroes sounded like a title I had heard of, but thought there would be 2 or 3 with that title...nope, it's a 1929 film(according to IMDB, then they show it was released in early Jan 1930) that they have the rights to since they remade it as Three Godfathers, with Chester Morris(before the more famous John Ford-John Wayne version) What's weird, is Hell's Heroes ran on TCM in the last few months! I can't even recall if I recorded it or not, just remember seeing it at some point and saying, Hey, it's the Three Godfathers, an even earlier version!(in fact, according to IMDB, it was even an old story in '29, as it was filmed in 1916 as well!) Wonder if I did record it...man, my memory sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Gertrude Stein used to worry that she would have read everything, and that there wouldn't be anything left to read. I used to worry that about movies -- but it's not bloody likely that it's going to happen! I've seen only a couple of films on the 1930 list and want to see them all!

cody1949 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 HELL'S HEROES has played on TCM a number of times. It was an early directorial effort of William Wyler, the great director and nephew of Carl Laemmle. I hope I spelled that right. It came under MGM control when they were allowed to remake it as the THREE GODFATHERS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody1949 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 On some of the threads you have removed the B-westerns. May I request that you don't in the future if you plan to continue. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any titles are missing, feel free to add them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
