Oct. 24, early in the morning: The Letter (1929) Rare film appearance of legendary Jeanne Eagels, with a very sensual Herbert Marshall who also starred in the remake.

FredCDobbs Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Sunday Oct. 7th Very late. Everybody should see this one at least once. It's a British film, shot in London, using British actors playing American gangsters in New York, while using fake American gangster accents. It's a hoot, and a good noir too. *No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1948)* A kidnapped heiress falls in love with one of her captors.

TopBilled Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 >Sunday Oct. 7th Very late. No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1948) Original source was a 1939 novel of the same name by James Hadley Chase, who was influenced by American crime writer James Cain. Turned into a London stage play in the early 1940s, then filmed in '48. Remade in the U.S. by Robert Aldrich in 1971 as THE GRISSOM GANG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 >Late at night, Wed Oct. 10th: Dead of Night (1945) Per wiki: A British anthology horror film made by Ealing Studios, its various episodes directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden and Robert Hamer. The film stars Mervyn Johns, Googie Withers and Michael Redgrave. The film is probably best-remembered for the ventriloquist's dummy episode starring Redgrave.

FredCDobbs Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 LOL. I tried to trick you with that one. Too bad this film didn't have Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, and Rita Hayworth in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Sunday LATE at night, Oct 28: One of the most influential early German "noir" type crime films that would later influence many American noir movies of the 1940s: *M (1931)* The mob sets out to catch a child killer whose crimes are attracting too much police attention.

SansFin Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I believe October is a great month! *Not Against the Flesh* (1932) is also known as *Vampyr* and it is atmospheric horror at its finest. I remember *Mummy's Boys* (1936) as being a riot! I am anticipating *The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake* (1959). *Gulliver's Travels* (1939) begins a night of wonderful animation. I have not seen *The Adventures of Prince Achmed* (1927) in many years and I am joyful it is airing! *The Fall of the House of Usher* (1949) is a must-see for all who love horror. The entire month is a melange of horror and comedy and comedy horrors. There are many great premieres. I believe this month has something for lovers of all genres and eras.

FredCDobbs Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yes, I think October is going to be a great month. Lots of good stuff of different kinds. See Oct. 31 for a lot of old Horror Classics. http://www.tcm.com/schedule/monthly.html?tz=est&sdate=2012-10-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I agree Fred. The month doesn't have to be all shock films, although I look forward to seeing a few of them. The usual nice variety in the schedule for October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film is probably best-remembered for the ventriloquist's dummy episode starring Redgrave. I don't doubt that, but my favorite segment is the Christmas Party, with Sally Anne Howe. It's surreal, psychotic, and spooky! *Dead of Night* is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you liked that one. I LOVE Wheeler & Woolsey but don't know many of their fans who regard that one as among their best. Anyone who watches MUMMY'S BOYS and doesn't get the appeal of Bert & Bob, please check out some of their other movies. They have done much better.
