More Marie Dressler PLEASE!!!!

[bhryun]

I'm glad that TCM recently showed some of Marie Dressler's films. She was such a great star; she could

make you laugh or cry depending on the circumstances.

I wish TCM would show more of her films, especially the

films she co-starred with Polly Moran. TCM should also

dedicate a day to her films; after all she was the

biggest box office star of the early 1930's until her

death in 1934.

I've had the TCM channel for over ten years and they've

never shown "Caught Short" (1930 MGM vehicle with Polly

Moran) or "Christopher Bean" (Marie's last movie before

her death, also an MGM movie). I've continually requested

these two films be brought out from the vaults for us

viewers to enjoy to no avail. Maybe if more fans would

request these two films the TCM programmers will finally

put them on the schedule.

I also happen to love Marie Dressler and so far I've only seen her in "Dinner at Eight" and "Min and Bill"; Would love to see more of her! I've got "Anna Christie", but I've never seen it (shame!!)

 

Thanks to a good pal who taped them for me, I'll be able to see "Prosperity", "Politics" and "Reducing".

 

I'd also love to see "The Late Christopher Bean", "Emma", "Caught Short", "Tugboat Annie", "Let Us Be Gay", "Chasing Rainbows", "The Divine Lady", "The Patsy", "Bringing Up Father" and "The Callahans and the Murphys", some of which are featured on TCM's schedules.
