Arturo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Great News! However TB, you had me drooling with the last list-all those 20th comedies from the last half of the 30s!-then I saw its heading-*NOT FEATURED!* Edited by: Arturo on Oct 17, 2012 3:29 PM because my eyes are playing tricks on me...

TopBilled Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Arturo, Personally, I like LOVE IS NEWS a bit better and would do cartwheels if that had been scheduled. I thought for sure MOTHER IS A FRESHMAN would have been selected, but no. Of the Fox titles that made the cut, we have the rare KENTUCKY and WIFE, HUSBAND AND FRIEND. So that's good for viewers. I think SUEZ has been shown on TCM in the last two years. None of her Paramount or Universal films from the 1940s and 1950s will be shown for this 100th birthday celebration. I highly doubt they will ever pop up on the Encore channels. This is where Universal needs to collaborate with TCM more.

Hibi Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Does anyone know if TCM has ever shown Zoo in Budapest? I've wanted to see that one for eons......... Link to post Share on other sites
AndyM108 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Geez, and after Stanwyck in December.....Is TCM trying to make 100% that I'll include them in my will? If so, this is sure as hell the best way to go about it. That's the best back-to-back SOTM picks I've seen in the three and a half years I've been paying attention. Pre-Code Heaven is an understatement. Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 >Does anyone know if TCM has ever shown Zoo in Budapest? I've wanted to see that one for eons......... Yes, it aired a few times about two or three years ago. I assumed it would be in regular rotation. But I believe it is a Fox title and rather rare. Link to post Share on other sites
Calamity Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I know TCM aired ZIB at least once (I think it was in 2010). I've also seen it on FMC (in 2004). It may have been on the schedule other times too. Great choice for SOTM! Link to post Share on other sites

Hibi Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks, all. Sorry I missed it (Zoo)......... Link to post Share on other sites
AddisonDeWitless Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 i'm sorry Zoo in Budapest is not included. I've always been curious about that one. The White Parade too. The Accused (1949) was for a time available on youtube. I watched it, it's a weird movie. There's a pretty brutal attempted rape scene (this is post-code, post-oscar Loretta Young here!) that Johnny Belinda paved the way for the year before. After that, it gets really silly with a lot of voice-overs and cheese sauce. I'm glad they're including some of her pre-code, trampy stuff. "Ya gotta love bite on yer neck, Loretta. Cover that damn thing up! " Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I was hoping Zoo would turn up this month with Tracy, but a shut out there too. I vaguely remember The Accused...... Edited by: Hibi on Oct 17, 2012 4:36 PM Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I never found Young to be a particular beauty as advertised. Certainly not in the league of Tierney, Gardner, Lamarr, Hayworth, Turner,Garbo, Bergman et al. Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 ZOO IN BUDAPEST is with Gene Raymond, not Spencer Tracy. MAN'S CASTLE, which features Tracy and Young, appears in both month's tributes. Link to post Share on other sites
VP19 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 With Connie Bennett in November and Barbara Stanwyck in December, I doubted TCM would feature an actress as star of the month for three months in a row (though it's probably happened before). And not only is it great they are honoring Young in her centennial month, but there are lots and lots of pre-Codes, when Loretta was at her most effective (and ethereal!). An inspired choice, one I've championed for several months. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Having an actress 3 months in a row as SOTM should be billed as the "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" quarter. Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously before Ann Blyth got the Hostess gig on TV, and it looks as if she has a cupcake on her head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIGqqiqwQSc Link to post Share on other sites
