Geostan Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 According to the TCM website, this film is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 5 am. But according to the satellite schedule it isn't. Who's right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I see the error on the Directv guide. What they do is list THE SHOW OFF as being about 3 hours long, instead of 77 minutes. The TCM monthly guide shows THE MURDER MAN showing in-between THE SHOW OFF and WHIPSHAW. So, I would say this is a Directv error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross-checking with the TCM Monthly schedule usually clears it up, as there is inevitably another movie afterwards that Directv doesn't list.

FredCDobbs Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes, and Directv has stopped listing a lot of movie titles. Instead, they just say "Drama Movie" or "Comedy Movie", but they don't say what it is. And for the LMN channel, they often list "Viewer's Choice", but they don't say what the show is, a movie? a TV show? a comedy? I don't know.

Actually, to be accurate, it's his FEATURE film debut. He'd been in a Vitaphone comedy short a year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geostan Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 It did air this morning. It was part of the long The Show Off segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he wasn't called "Shorty". But they did apparently cast him just because of his height so they could have a visual gag of the very tall James Stewart playing the brother of the very short actor Don Tomkins. There wasn't really anything else Stewart was called upon to do that displayed his talent or foretold his later success and popularity. But he DID get to be slapped around by Stooge Shemp Howard in this short (called ART TROUBLE, 1934). I'm sure he was later proud of starting his film career in such a distinguished role!
