TopBilled Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 THRILLED to see Monty Wooley on the list. Are they showing THE PIED PIPER? Nope. Only Fox films are the two he made with Gracie Fields. Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Apparently not. The schedule for August 27th features: "Live, Love And Learn" (1937), "Everybody Sing" (1938), "Three Comrades" (1938), "Lord Jeff" (1938), "Young Dr. Kildare" (1938), "Dancing Co-Ed" (1939), "Night and Day" (1946), "Kismet" (1955), "Holy Matrimony" (1943), "Molly and Me" (1945), "The Man Who Came to Dinner" (1941), "The Bishop's Wife" (1947) and "The Girl of the Golden West" (1938). Another great Monty Woolley performance occurs in SINCE YOU WENT AWAY, which is also not being shown. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 TCM does show the film occasionally........... Haven't seen GOODBYE CHARLIE in years. Cute film and wish it was on the schedule Link to post Share on other sites
darkblue Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 What a glorious opportunity to fill your library with early Marx Brothers movies. Even Cocoanuts!! Early 30's Marx's are the best Marx's. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
jakeem Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Another great Monty Woolley performance occurs in SINCE YOU WENT AWAY, which is also not being shown. It would have been a nice selection for Robert Walker Day, too. But it's not being shown then, either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Haven't seen GOODBYE CHARLIE in years. Cute film and wish it was on the schedule It doesnt pop up often, but it is on once in awhile........ Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yes, Katharine Hepburn has had too many SUTS.......... Nothing that interest me much, so glad I wasnt on pins and needles about the sched!!! Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Nothing that interest me much, so glad I wasnt on pins and needles about the sched!!! It is really like most schedules-- TCM Library titles in heavy rotation, with a few exceptions. The only difference is that in August the programming is in 24 hour blocks. It's a marketing gimmick-- sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It would have been a nice selection for Robert Walker Day, too. But it's not being shown then, either. You're right. It's an early performance for Walker. But it's Monty and the dog that steal the show in SINCE YOU WENT AWAY. As for Walker's day, when I read over the selections-- it occurred to me just how many prestigious A-budget programmers MGM put him in-- he was quite lucky and though his filmography is not lengthy, he appears in a lot of essential classic movies.

Bogie56 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Cocoanuts has that hilarious routine VIADUCT. (WHY A DUCK) I can't listen to the Habenera or the Toreador Song from Carmen without thinking of the lyrics to The Tale of the Shirt. "I lost my shirt, I lost my shirt, I can't do anything until I find my shirt" Just brilliantly funny Link to post Share on other sites

darkblue Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 OMG!! Alan Arkin day is fantastic! Little Murders!! Little Murders, everybody! We were posting about that one not so long ago. Please God, let Canadians have this one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Please God, let Canadians have this one. One of his best films ever has probably only played up here in Canada ... Mordecai Richler's Joshua Then and Now. He's brilliant in that one. James Woods is the star. Makes a good companion piece with the other Richler Canadian films, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Barney's Version. Link to post Share on other sites
PrinceSaliano Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Meh. I'm happy to see the Marx Bros. Paramount titles and glad Mae Clarke got a day. My favorite (and unexpected) title of the month is Universal's THE INVISIBLE WOMAN. Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite (and unexpected) title of the month is Universal's THE INVISIBLE WOMAN. TCM aired it about two or three years ago during a primetime salute for John Barrymore. Maltin doesn't rate it very highly. Link to post Share on other sites
PrinceSaliano Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 TCM aired it about two or three years ago during a primetime salute for John Barrymore. Maltin doesn't rate it very highly. I already own it but I'm happy TCM accessed it. Link to post Share on other sites
lydecker Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've seen way better SUTS schedules but I am glad to see Raymond Massey, Virginia Bruce, Mae Clark and Rex Ingram make the schedule. 24 hours of Shelley Winters?? Shoot me now. Lydecker Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I already own it but I'm happy TCM accessed it. Yes, well as I said they've accessed it before. I think there are better Universal titles to broadcast, though. Link to post Share on other sites
PrinceSaliano Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It proves that it can be done (TOWER OF LONDON was shown last week). Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It proves that it can be done (TOWER OF LONDON was shown last week). It can be done if they want to do it, and if they want to use budget for it. Link to post Share on other sites
HoldenIsHere Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 One of this year's summer stars is a New Trier High School alum. Go Trevians! Link to post Share on other sites
joel6 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 While I wouldn't have minded seeing them skip Kate Hepburn, John Wayne and Joan Crawford, who are all great stars but their films are frequently shown, and substitute them with other more obscure performers, perhaps Joan Bennett or Ann Blyth, and films I'm happy with the overall slate. Again I wish they could have gotten Kitten with a Whip for Ann-Margret Day but Once a Thief is new and as someone else said The Pied Piper for Monty Woolley Day would have been wonderful but Lord Jeff is new to me. But almost everyday there is at least one film I haven't seen so yeah! And some days are a gold mine, for instance Ingrid Bergman has four rarities. The only really disappointing day is Shelley Winters, she has so many early films that are rarely seen and there is not a single one scheduled, all the ones they are showing are good films with the exception of Flap but are ones that are on frequently.
