Kay Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks, Bogie, for pointing out the Clouzot film. I hadn't noticed that before. Brighton Rock (1947) is on tomorrow in prime time. I'm looking forward to seeing this again. Richard Attenborough is a nasty piece of work in this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to seeing this again. Richard Attenborough is a nasty piece of work in this. CoraSmith and I picked Carol Marsh as either number one or number two for Best Supporting Actress of 1947 in the Favorite Performances thread for Brighton Rock. Alas, we are not getting Brighton Rock in Canada. It is replaced with the Oliver Reed film The System (1964) which I will be recording. Thankfully I have a dvd copy of Brighton Rock.

Bogie56 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Wednesday, June 8/9 midnight. A Doll’s House (1973). An unbelievable cast in this Henrik Ibsen adaptation. Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Richardson, Denholm Elliott, Anna Massey and Edith Evans. Hope it is good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to mention it follows "Miss Julie" which is a perfect choice. I've seen it and it is a wonderful rendition of the original play, and Fonda is superb as is the rest of the cast.

JamesJazGuitar Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 08, 2016 The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937) The Last of Mrs. Cheyney is clearly a hit, especially anytime Powell and Crawford are in the same scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thursday, June 9 10:15 a.m. A Lady Without Passport (1950). I haven't seen this one with Hedy Lamarr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Friday, June 10 2 p.m. Black Scorpion (1957). Sounds like cheese ball fun. This should be Sunday afternoon fair, no? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole afternoon/evening schedule is worth watching. Black Scorpion, Killer Shrews, Beast from Haunted Cave, and The Reptile. B-movie fun. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lady is always fun to watch. One of Hammer's better entries, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Saturday, June 11 8 a.m. Queen of Outer Space (1958). “Who should we cast as the ruler of Venus? … Why not Zsa Zsa Gabor? She’s Hungarian. Close Enough.” Melania Trump to star in the remake. You heard it here first. In the States you get …. 2 a.m. Some Call It Loving (1973). This has some interesting imdb reviews. In Canada we get …. 2 a.m. Simon (1970). The Marshall Brickman, Alan Arkin film. Fine by me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedya Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's FXM Retro and not TCM, but tomorrow (June 12) at 3:00 AM and 1:10 PM is The Day the Fish Came Out, a really bizarre little movie. Unfortunately, the last time FXM showed it, it was a pan-and-scan print, so you may all get the heebie-jeebies watching this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you've ever wanted to see Tom Courtenay run around for an entire movie in his underwear (jockeys, even) - this is the movie for you.

Bogie56 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Sunday, June 12 8:30 a.m. Alexander Hamilton (1931) Another bio-pic with George Arliss that I haven’t seen. midnight. Gribiche (1925). Jacques Feyder silent looks promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it is no coincidence that this movie is being shown on the same day as the 70th Annual Tony Awards which Hamilton and its 16 nominations will probably rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LornaHansonForbes Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Tonight's double feature of THE GLASS KEY (1942) and THE BLUE DAHLIA (1946) is HIGHLY recommended, the first is the better of the two, but the second's not bad either. Starts at 8:00 pm. ,,,have no idea if this applies to Canada or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Tomorrow, Monday June 13, is Basil Rathbone day, and one of my busiest taping days of the month: Anna Karenina (1935) - Garbo, Freddie March, Dame May Robson and Basil - How can you go wrong? Crossroads (1942) - I don't know this pairing of Basil and William Powell. Sounds interesting. The Black Sleep (1956) - I haven't seen this teaming of Basil and Bela Lugosi, with Akim Tamiroff and Lon Chaney Jr. And TOR! Hillbillies in a Haunted House (1967) - Notorious country music/horror comedy starring Ferlin Husky and Joi Lansing. Basil makes one of his last appearances. Should be dreadful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 11, I came in from school and turned on the TV just in time to see the last 10 minutes of this movie. I couldn't believe my eyes! Where had this movie been all my life? I grabbed the TV Guide to find the title and spent the next 35 years wondering if I'd ever see it again. I mean, it didn't play again on TV in my area of the world again in all that time. Then, about 10 years ago, I saw the title in the guide - a late night showing on a Toronto station. Better believe I had the old VCR warmed up for that! Turns out, the last 10 minutes were the only part of the movie that wasn't dull as dishwater. What a manic ending to a thoroughly talky, nothing happening movie. But you really do have to see that ending. Crazy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedya Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Following The Blue Dahlia is the short From the Four Corners, which is highly worth watching if you haven't seen it before. Leslie Howard meets three real soldiers from various parts of the Empire in London, and basically shows them what they're fighting for -- and what the Americans will be fighting for when they finally get their tuchuses off the couch and get involved in the war too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught this one last March on Comet TV. If you like 1940s Universal horror movies, you won't be disappointed. And, if you don't, this one won't change your opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a manic ending to a thoroughly talky, nothing happening movie. But you really do have to see that ending. Crazy! Back during the VHS era I checked out Fanny and Alexander (theater version) from the library and was blown away. I couldn't believe a movie could be that good. The movie is so long that it took two tapes. Yike, I discovered that the library did not have the second one. After the initial shock I resolved to be patient and one day, some day soon perhaps, I will be afforded the opportunity to see the rest. I don't remember how long I waited but when the moment finally came, I suffered one of the most disappointing movie-watching experiences ever. The story fell flat. It wasn't the same movie (to me). I seem sure now (though not absolutely certain) that had I taken in the entire story at one initial setting, it might have had for me a seamless continuity that makes for the glorious cinema experience that we all yearn for. My anticipation and expectations that built up in me during the interim is what got me. The movie couldn't live up to it though the blame is all mine. Writing this makes me realize that I would do well to go back to it. At least I'll know for sure that I will enjoy that first half. Absolute perfection!
