goodvibe61 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Although Strangelove is such a touchstone for TCM, I'm surprised it's relegated to a late night screening at the very end of the run. It's hard to complain about these selections. I love some of these. The Long Goodbye is fantastic; the long sequence at Hayden's house is pure gold. The crime films are his bread and butter. And I would love to give Terror in a Texas Town another viewiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton_Keyes Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The Long Goodbye is fantastic; the long sequence at Hayden's house is pure gold. I absolutely agree. I happened to be researching the film's screenwriter Leigh Brackett recently, and was surprised to learn that Sterling Hayden wrote all of his own dialogue in THE LONG GOODBYE. He was a man of many talents and varied interests, and I am very much looking forward to this festival in May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish TCM was showing the 1949 film Manhandled with Dorothy Lamour, Dan Duryea and Hayden. Not a great noir but it has some interesting scenes, especially one very chilling death scene.

I would also liked to have seen THE LAST COMMAND, a film about the Alamo he made at Republic. TCM has aired that one too, but not recently.
