blumphf Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Was supposed to air next week on 7/10 at 11:45am... Not anymore. Had this ever been shown previously? And when the June schedule first went up, TCM had LAST SUMMER ('69) scheduled for airing in the last week of the month...it disappeared off the schedule, too. Is there ever any communication from TCM on this site about why this is done? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there ever any communication from TCM on this site about why this is done? blumphf, TCMProgrammr, the senior VP of programming, has posted here over the years that when this happens it usually indicates that a rights issue arose at the last minute or that a digital formatted file of the film was expected by turned out to be unavailable. He also stated that TCM tries it's best to reschedule the films once the obstacles have been worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 In the case of Last Summer, They might have pulled it because it was set to be on around 6 PM, and the film was originally rated X. I think that they wanted to avoid controversy. I think that's a good theory. LAST SUMMER has aired before on TCM, usually in the late night/early morning hours.

HoldenIsHere Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I was looking forward to NIGHT OF THE QUARTER MOON. Oh well . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Holden, I also was really anticipating seeing this movie again. It is not shown very often. Oh well, we've had this happen before, and I'm sure there will be many more times. But I'm still disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully TCM will be able to air it in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 NIGHT OF THE QUARTER MOON is on YouTube in 2 parts. If there is some sort of rights issue, I didn't want to put it on this message board as a direct link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
