Just too bad it does not include my favourite Best Actor performance of all time - Olivier in Richard III (1955). 10:30 a.m. That Hamilton Woman (1941). With Vivien Leigh. Too bad TCM isn't showing 'Rebecca' on Laurence Olivier's day. Great cast---great story! BTW...I think this post represents #10,000 for this thread alone. Thanks for starting it Bogie56! 😀 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Looking ahead to Thursday and Claudette Colbert: Three Came Home is an excellent WWII prison camp drama; The Secret Heart gives June Allyson the chance to play an unsympathetic role as the stepdaughter who doesn't welcome Claudette into the family; and The Secret Fury can be recommended to Noir Alley fans and those who'd like to see Vivian Vance play someone other than Ethel Mertz. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thursday, August 27 Claudette Colbert midnight. The Palm Beach Story (1942). Very funny Preston Sturges film. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Very funny Preston Sturges film. I love a lot of STURGES'S films, but I have never warmed up to this movie- from the first time I saw it on AMC in the 1990's to when I every now and then catch some of it on TCM now. however, on the same day, there is also this, which I've never seen, but sounds interesting...although MALTIN gives it THREE STARS 12:15 PM B/W - 86 m It's a Wonderful World (1939) Synopsis: A runaway poetess helps a fugitive prove himself innocent of murder charges.Dir: W. S. Van Dyke II Cast: Claudette Colbert , James Stewart , Guy Kibbee . LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: 😧 W. S. Van Dyke II. Claudette Colbert, James Stewart, Guy Kibbee, Nat Pendleton, Frances Drake, Edgar Kennedy, Ernest Truex, Sidney Blackmer, Hans Conried. Screwball comedy with Colbert a runaway poetess, Stewart a fugitive chased by cops Pendleton and Kennedy. Very, very funny, with Stewart having a field day. Scripted by Ben Hecht, from his and Herman J. Mankiewicz' story. We swear by our eyes! Link to post Share on other sites

kingrat Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 For Friday morning's salute to Paul Henreid, Joan of Paris is a solid French Resistance drama with Michele Morgan; Deception is a must for fans of Bette Davis and Claude Rains; and Ida Lupino gets a juicy starring role opposite Henreid in In Our Time, set in Poland just before WWII begins. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Saturday, August 29 Eva Marie Saint 6 p.m. On the Waterfront (1954). Saint’s Oscar winning performance. 3:45 a.m. Loving (1970). I really like this Irvin Kershner film. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Monday, August 31 Alain Delon 4:15 p.m. Have I the Right to Kill aka The Unvanquished (1964). Perhaps a bit more obscure than the others. 11:15 p.m. Le Samouri (1967). Very good Jean-Pierre Melville crime film. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Bogie, I believe TCM has shown Have I the Right To Kill before, and it's pretty good, with Alain Delon and Lea Massari in top form. However, for those just having one Alain Delon film, for me it's Purple Noon, brilliantly directed by Rene Clement. Delon is surprisingly good as a young male innocent in The Yellow Rolls Royce. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There was a 1995 true murder case in England involving a Canadian who killed a rich person on a sail boat, weighted him to an anchor and dumped the body overboard then assumed his identity. He lived with his daughter who was posing as his wife! The murder unravelled when the victim's body turned up in a fisherman's net and was identified by the Rolex watch he was wearing! It was made into a TV MOW, AKA Albert Walker (2002) which was shot on the Isle of Man. It would make a good double bill with Purple Noon (1960). It was a big case in England and Canada 25 years ago and no one to my knowledge drew the Patricia Highsmith connection.

LornaHansonForbes Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm surprised they're showing BANANAS (1971) on a Saturday afternoon. It has NOT aged well. Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Sunday, September 6 I’d go for all of these tonight … 8 p.m. The Song Remains the Same (1976). Led Zeppelin.

No, they obviously had rented the 35mm print for about a month and then screened it one reel at a time over the course of a few weeks. They played a reel like a short subject between features. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
