What a great movie about the fun insanity of artists is "The Horse's Mouth", TB! I bought the Guinness boxed set just for that film. Also love TOG but have not seen "Hopscotch" with Matthau so will watch. Thanks!

All three of these films are quite different and equally good. Though I'd say TUNES OF GLORY is my fave of the bunch.

 

Neame lived to 99 and he made some extraordinary motion pictures.

He's actually so great at being a heel that I love seeing him in anything where he is dastardly and nasty!

Yes. He had considerable dramatic range. Of course, Richard Carlson will never get a tribute of any kind on TCM because the programmers seem too dazzled by Cary Grant and the big name stars. (It would be nice if they were reading this and proved me wrong!)

Screen%2Bshot%2B2016-05-01%2Bat%2B8.32.1

Glenn Ford's 100th birthday on TCM

GILDA with Rita Hayworth

A STOLEN LIFE with Bette Davis

 

Great photo, TopBilled.

 

I might follow up this double feature with a PVR recorded movie I have of Ford's.

 

Either 3:10 to Yuma or The Teahouse of the August Moon depending upon what mood I am in.

Thanks. I'd pick 3:10 TO YUMA (but that's because I lived in Yuma, Arizona for almost ten years!).

Screen%2Bshot%2B2016-05-01%2Bat%2B10.15.

Main character is an actress on Amazon Prime

A STAR IS BORN with Janet Gaynor

MOLLY AND ME with Gracie Fields

THE PERILS OF PAULINE with Betty Hutton

99 RIVER STREET with Evelyn Keyes

 

I never saw a Gracie Fields' film till I was out of college since British film stars aren't shown here as much.

 

I did enjoy seeing her finally in something. Also though TPOP with Hutton is fun, I would kill to see the real serial with Pearl White on TCM sometime.

Good post! Thanks for your comments, CG.

I have been watching TCM faithfully for the past 10 years, and I have yet to see the movie "Harvey" with Jimmy Stewart.

 

Have they ever showed it?

 

I have noticed they always reference it in documentaries, but I haven't seen it and want to badly.  Another film I have been dying to see is "long days journey into night" (i think thats right) with Katherine Hepburn.

 

Why are there some films that are definitely classic greats that don't get shown.  In the past 4 years I have only seen two showings of "Sunset Blvd" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's"  It's always the same few movies shown over and over.  Don't get me wrong if I love a move, I can watch it over and over and over again.  I would, however, love to see these other films as part of the normal line-up.

 

Any thoughts....

HARVEY is a Universal picture and it has not aired on TCM in a long time. The other two films, SUNSET BOULEVARD and BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S, are Paramount pictures and as you noted they have aired (as part of the Essentials series). 

 

Most of the Universal, Paramount and Republic films are outside the TCM/Turner library. Fox and Columbia pictures show up occasionally. Usually the MGM, WB, RKO and UA titles are the ones you see aired and re-aired.
