Bogie56 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Tuesday, October 30 4:15 p.m. King Kong (1933). It’s time for the big guy again. Starring that gal from Alberta, Fay Wray 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LornaHansonForbes Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 at 8:00 pm MONDAY NIGHT (OCT 29) "In Babylon, on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, my willpower's at it's lowest ebb, oh what can I do?" ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1933) Mondo sadismo bizarro Pre Code, followed by the good version of DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE (1932) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LornaHansonForbes Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 TUESDAY, OCT 30- 1:30 pm DR X (1933) (aka SYNTHETIC FLESH!); A lurid two-strip technicolor that is a favorite of mine. 4:30 am THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES (1963) Probably the best non-vampire, non-Frankenstein HAMMER HAR I've seen. WEDNESDAY, OCT 31 4:00 PM BLACK SABBATH (1963)- A quartet(?) of scary stories, the last featuring KARLOFF THE UNCANNY as a vampire for the one and only time. (I think) 8:00 PM HOUSE OF WAX (1953) Not as good as 1933's MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM, but I'll take it. BTW, did you know that the DVD of MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM is out of print and sells on amazon for like $200???!!!! 11:15 pm THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (1968?) THE ONLY film CORMAN directed that doesn't suck. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
scsu1975 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The Frozen Dead Tuesday 4:15 am ET Not exactly Dana Andrews' finest moment. I saw this one in the theater when it was released. Andrews tries to revive some frozen Nazis. What could possibly go wrong? Anna Palk, as his daughter, has a nice pair, but Philip Gilbert as the romantic lead (sort of) is deadly dull, and should have been the one frozen. Oh, yeah, there is also this ... 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Wednesday, October 31 4 p.m. Black Sabbath (1963). No Ozzie but Boris Karloff introduces three horror stories by Mario Bava. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Sukhov Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Halloween at 11:45 AM, Spirits of the Dead I don't think I've seen this one before and Lawrence and Bogie both ranked this very highly in their 1968 lists so I'll probably record it. Also has scenes directed by Fellini (one of my favorite directors). Link to post Share on other sites

However, the Fellini segment is terrific, and makes up for the two weaker segments by Roger Vadim (Jane Fonda looks great) and Louis Malle (a variation on The Student of Prague, which was done better in the silent era). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Where he turns Edgar Allan Poe's "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" into a Fellini satire of 60's Italian TV/entertainment culture--Pretty much going over early drafts for what would eventually become "Ginger & Fred". 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thursday, November 1 8 p.m. A House Divided (1913) by Marian Swayne. You could really pick all of the films scheduled this evening in Women Film Pioneers. I salute the people who sourced and obtained all these films. I hadn’t heard of any of them. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The first four films that evening are available on youtube ... haven't checked the ones after that. Of the four, A House Divided is the only one I haven't seen. Falling Leaves is quite touching. The Ocean Waif is pretty good. My top pick would be Where Are My Children? which deals with abortion and features a powerful lead performance by Frederick Tyrone Power. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Friday, November 2 12:15 p.m. Double Indemnity (1944). Barbara Stanwyck does it again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sepiatone Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I think they should have scheduled WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN? at 11:00 pm, due to that's when a lot of local TV newscasts would start with, "It's 11:00 pm. Do you know where YOUR children are?" But seriously....I'm gonna check this one out because, not only DIDN'T I know TYRONE POWERS' Dad was an actor also, nor then either did I ever see one of his films.

LornaHansonForbes Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 November 2nd includes two fascinating companion-piece films, RASHOMAN (1950) early in the morning, and THE LOCKET (1946) some time in the afternoon, I think I referenced RASHOMAN in my review of THE LOCKET when it was on NOIR ALLEY. Both toy with the medium of film and storytelling and the reliability of narrators and both are superb (RASHOMAN probably one of the 10 best films I have ever seen.) edit- RASHOMAN is on at 6:45 am, THE LOCKET at 6:15 pm 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 For Friday night: I always mean to watch Dan O'Herlihy as Robinson Crusoe and never get around to it. In Home Before Dark I could never figure out why Jean Simmons and Rhonda Fleming both want O'Herlihy. Simmons has one of her best roles in Home Before Dark, and she would have my vote for best actress of 1958. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Saturday, November 3 10 a.m. Popeye: A Clean Shaven Man (1936). 4:15 a.m. Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne (1945). A decent Robert Bresson film. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LornaHansonForbes Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 at 8:00 pm on Sunday, TALES OF MANHATTAN (which could reasonably also be called TAILS OF MANHATTAN) is on at 8:00. It is an odd anthology film with either four or five stories (depending on the edit) revolving around a cursed tailcoat. The RITA HAYWORTH/CHARLES BOYER one is weird, the GINGER ROGERS/HENRY FONDA one is all right, the LAUGHTON/LANCHESTER one superb and the ETHEL WATERS/ PAUL ROBESON one is fine by me, but apparently some find it offensive (including the actors in it.) I do not think TCM has ever shown the full original version which included a fifth tale with WC FIELDS and MARGARET DUMONT and is allegedly the best story of the film but was cut before the release of the picture. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie, I'm more enthusiastic about this film than you are. Bresson later downplayed it because it wasn't ALL BRESSON ALL THE TIME, with the God-wannabe director manipulating non-professionals. Script by Jean Cocteau, and starring the great actress Maria Casares. I'm delighted that TCM is showing Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne. It probably has more appeal to a wider audience than some of Bresson's later films. If you like Cocteau's Orpheus or Ophuls films like Letter from an Unknown Woman (without the moving camera), this is one to check out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The original version only contained the 5 tales. I.e. there was never a 'full original version' in that the studio never released a film with all 6 tales. Therefore there is no way for TCM to show a version that never existed. But one can see the deleted tale in the Ken Burns Hidden Hollywood II: More Treasures from the 20th Century Fox Vaults, a 1997 television documentary spotlighting cut sequences from the studio's films. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Sunday, November 4/5 12:30 a.m. The Wildcat (1921). Ernst Lubitsch silent with Pola Negri. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Monday, November 5 6:45 p.m. Dark Hazard (1934). I guess compulsive gambler Edward G. Robinson learned a thing or to between this film and The Cincinnati Kid. Link to post Share on other sites

Sukhov Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Tonight, 11/4 at 2 AM - Alexander Nevsky Great epic film from Russia with a beautiful score by Sergei Prokofiev (I hope it's the remastered version of the score). and afterwards at 4 AM - October: 10 Days That Shook the World This one is a premiere. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen the version with the Fields story in it, and it's not the best. The Edward G. Robinson and Charles Laughton stories are the best. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
