deadendkid Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 And the possibly forgotten, supposedly lost Reformatory, 1938, starring Jack Holt and Bobby Jordan and Military Academy, 1940, starring Tommy Kelly and Bobby Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LsDoorMat Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I've got a copy of "Nightclub Lady". It exists in good condition. TCM has shown Circus Queen Murder several times over the past few years, I wonder why it hasn't shown the companion film, "Nightclub Lady", too?

I've seen NIGHT CLUB LADY in a nice print "on the big screen" a few times over the years, so there's no doubt there certainly is at least one excellent print. It's interesting that CIRCUS QUEEN MURDER used to be the impossible one to find a copy of, while NIGHT CLUB LADY seemed to commonly be "out there". But now that seems reversed. Since TCM has shown CIRCUS QUEEN MURDER now the other one seems to be the one people are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceSaliano Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'm surprised neither NIGHT OF TERROR (1933) nor THE BEST MAN WINS (1935) has shown up on TCM. Both feature Bela Lugosi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceSaliano Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 And NINE GIRLS (1944) has been announced several times and never shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceSaliano Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Bumping this up. Plenty of rare Columbias to be shown on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody1949 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 One in particular that I would like to see is THIS THING CALLED LOVE with Melvyn Douglas and Rosalind Russell from 1941. I want to see what the Catholic Legion of Decency got all upset about back then. Remember Rosalind Russell was supposed to be a devout Catholic.

midnight08 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I would love to see Tol'able David (1930) with Richard Cromwell. I had read that his family had given a pristine copy of this film to either UCLA or Library Of Congress. In any case it's out there and I wish TCM would acquire it for viewing.

PrinceSaliano Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm surprised Lugosi's NIGHT OF TERROR (1933) hasn't shown up on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm surprised Lugosi's NIGHT OF TERROR (1933) hasn't shown up on TCM. Is there a specific reason your surprised that TCM hasn't shown Night of Terror? I ask only because TCM tends to not feature early Columbia films or the films of Lugosi. So I wonder why anyone would expect TCM to feature this specific film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always treasure The Circus Queen Murder for Adolphe Menjou's classic line, "I'm going over there and have a look at those cannibals".

Richard Kimble Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 As a Nero Wolfe fan I long hoped to see the two adaptations Columbia did in the mid '30s. I finally got to see the first one with Edward Arnold and a badly miscast Lionel Stander as Archie Goodwin. Still waiting to see the second, with an equally miscast Walter Connolly as Wolfe (and Stander again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
