Bogie56 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm recording Isle of Fury tomorrow. Bogart film I haven't seen. For some reason that is not on in Canada. We get The Girl From Mexico. It's a bit odd as I taped Isle of Fury on TCM a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thursday, March 31 12:15 a.m. L’amore (1948) aka Ways of Love. Starring Anna Magnani and even Federico Fellini! They’ve saved the best until last. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
film lover 293 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thurs. March 31st/Fri. April 1st : All times E.S.T.: A musical ahead of its' time, and "Condemned" movies: 3:45 p.m. "Athena" (1954)--Songs are pretty, and occasionally witty. Everyone can sing, or is dubbed; script would have to be poisonous to ruin film. Several songs and promo short are on YT. 1:45 a.m. "Strange Cargo" (1940)--I want to hear Sister Rose and her take on the film. 3:45 a.m. "Rififi" (1954)--Jules Dassin directed "caper" film I haven't seen. A "Maybe": 8:00 p.m.--"The Moon Is Blue" (1953)--The version that was on television in the 1970's (when I saw it) was almost antiseptic, except for using the word "virgin" and discussing whether one should remain one or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LornaHansonForbes Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Misses: MGM Parade Show #19 (1955) I usually welcome the shorts - even repeats - however, MGM Parade Show #19 seems to have been paraded about a half a dozen times in the last couple of months! Is that the one where Susan Hayward shows up to plug I'LL CRY TOMORROW? If so, then yeah I am totally with you that one gets shown all the time. From recollection I think I've come across it 5 times in the last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limey Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Is that the one where Susan Hayward shows up to plug I'LL CRY TOMORROW? If so, then yeah I am totally with you that one gets shown all the time. From recollection I think I've come across it 5 times in the last year. It starts with an Astaire/Kelly dance number - can't remember if that specific plug is present, as I now tend to tune out whenever it reappears - however, it's airing again tomorrow morning, so we can all check to see... Seriously, I just checked the monthly schedule - it's on/been on 9 times in March alone. It was pleasant enough the first time, but I'm seeing the darn thing in my nightmares now... [edit: I think the Hayward one is #13 & yes, I remember that popping up quite a few times - does TCM repeatedly air one episode per month perhaps? Other episodes do appear, there was one with a very young Roger Moore a while back, but I only caught that once.] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Pigskin Parade (1936) has a rare TCM showing tomorrow. This is an entertaining musical that gets an extra recommendation for Elisha Cook, Jr. fans. As for later tonight, I'll be making a point to watch L'amore (1948) with Anna Magnani. And I'll second SansFin's recommendation of Rififi (1954) which I finally got to see recently after having wanted to for a long time. It's a fascinating, expertly made noir focusing on the anticipation and aftermath of a heist. The heist scene is done in a long, elaborate silent sequence that supposedly has been copied by multitudes of real cat burglars ever since. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Friday, April 1 9:15 a.m. Hollywood Party (1934). Laurel & Hardy! 8 p.m. Pigskin Parade (1936). Leading man Stuart Erwin was nominated for a supporting Oscar for this one. Unavailable on dvd in North America I think? I bought a Spanish dvd copy and here it is on for free. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Tomorrow I'll be taping Our Relations. because I was told it was good; Valley of the Kings, because I like ancient cultures and I've been told to give Robert Taylor another shot; and Shaft In Africa, because despite my extensive knowledge of blaxploitation films, I've never seen either Shaft sequel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Have you seen the remake of Shaft, Lawrence? I have not. I have, and I have it on DVD. It's entertaining, and Christian Bale has fun playing a racist 1 percenter. But Jeffrey Wright steals the movie as a Dominican drug lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Saturday, April 2 8 a.m. Our Relations (1936) Great Saturday morning film and my all-time favourite Laurel & Hardy feature. But not in Canada, eh. 10:15 pm. The Virginian (1946) I haven’t seen this Joel McCrea western. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was billed as Tim and Irene. The film was so bad - like they actively sought to bring it to the lowest possible level. If Ann Curio was a famous burlesque dancer, you wouldn't have known it from this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

film lover 293 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Sunday, April3rd/4th;All times E.S.T. 10:00 p.m. "Kitty" (1945)--One of Paulette Goddards' best performances in this costume drama. 12:00 a.m. "Within Our Gates" (1920)--an emphatic counterpoint to "Birth of a Nation" (1915). 1:30 a.m. "The Symbol of the Unconquered" (1921)--an African American view of the 1920's Klan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Sunday, April 3 noon. Sense and Sensibility (1995). Is there no genre Ang Lee cannot tackle? 10 p.m. Kitty (1945). Both Paulette Goddard and Constance Collier are rather good in this. 4:45 a.m. Alice In the Cities (1974). “Under the boardwalk…” I loved this German new-wave, Wim Wenders film when it premiered at the very first Toronto Film Festival. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Monday, April 4 Anthony Perkins by day and John Barrymore by night. Well done. 6:15 p.m. The Trial (1963). Like a lot of Welles’ films my appreciation of this one increases the more I see it. 10 p.m. A Bill of Divorcement (1932). I think this one is hard to come by. It used to be replaced in Canada on a regular basis and when the schedule was originally announced it was replaced with The Mad Genius (1931). It seems to be back on in Canada now, fingers crossed. 2:30 a.m. Bulldog Drummond Comes Back (1937) 3:45 a.m. Bulldog Drummond’s Revenge (1937) 4:45 a.m. Bulldog Drummond’s Peril (1938) I haven’t seen the last two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
