Fedya Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Wednesday, June 22, 2016: The Millionaire (8:15 AM). George Arliss plays an industrialist forced into retirement who decides to buy a half share of a service station, and then decides surreptitiously to use his bankroll to help his business partner (David Manners) beat another businessman. Arliss is wonderful as always, dominating the proceedings and looking like he's having a blast. The only time he doesn't dominate is one early scene in which he's trying to buy life insurance. The insurance agent is played by a young James Cagney, who as you can imagine is one of the few stars who can keep up with Arliss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedracer5 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Today I recorded: Macao, The Outlaw, Song of the Islands I recorded the first film for Robert Mitchum and The Outlaw because it is so notorious, especially in regard to Jane Russell's obvious assets. I'm recording Song of the Islands, because it's a Betty Grable film I haven't seen. I do not recommend: Double Dynamite. Despite Groucho Marx, Frank Sinatra and Jane Russell, this movie was terrible. Groucho really needed his brothers for his act. In his solo films, he just seems out of place or something. I do recommend: You Were Never Lovelier. If you like musicals, Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth, I highly recommend this film. It's got great musical numbers, Astaire is charming and Hayworth is gorgeous. --- Tomorrow, is my birthday and then I'm going to the beach for the rest of the week. I'm recording: The Crowd Roars. A pre-code with James Cagney, Joan Blondell and Ann Dvorak. He Was Her Man. Another film starring Cagney and Blondell. Jimmy the Gent. A film starring Cagney and Bette Davis. --- 6/23 I'm recording: The Music Man. I've never seen this musical before and have heard a lot of people say that they really liked it. I recommend all the musicals airing this evening. I especially like West Side Story and The Bells Are Ringing. --- 6/24 I recommend Executive Suite. It's a great movie with an all-star cast. Of course, nobody needs me to recommend these films, but I love Some Like it Hot and The Apartment. --- 6/25 I'm going to record The Fighting Sullivans for Anne Baxter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thursday, June 23 8 p.m. West Side Story (1961). My pick of the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LornaHansonForbes Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thursday, June 23 8 p.m. West Side Story (1961). My pick of the day. Yeah, I was gonna give it a shout-out too. I really enjoy the new insterstitial where they compile interviews of Robert Wise, Moreno, Chakiris, and Rusty Tamblyn wherein they all try to, in the politest terms possible, talk about what a total rat-bastard Jerome Robbins was to work with. it's really good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Friday, June 24 9:15 a.m. Behave Yourself (1951). With Shelley Winters and Farley Granger. I believe Shelley was going to get married to Farley at one point according to her autobiography. 2:30 p.m. Tennessee Champ (1954). With a young Charles Bronson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of the Shields charactor Kirk Douglas plays in THE BAD & THE BEAUTIFUL. Not the most personable persuasive guy, but getting the talent to give their best performance.

HoldenIsHere Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 3:15 a.m. Five Easy Pieces (1970). Great Karen Black performance and Nicholson is no slouch either. Yes, Karen Black was one of the greats. Last year there was a screening at Northwestern University of FIVE EASY PIECES and COME BACK TO THE 5 & DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN. Both movies featured Northwestern alum Karen Black. Ms. Black's partner was in attendance the screenings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

film lover 293 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Monday, June 27th; all times E.S.T.: Last night with Marie Dressler--I've only seen these two though. 8:00 p.m. "Dinner at Eight" (1933)--A Dream cast, Dressler is excellent, but Jean Harlow and Wallace Beery as a squabbling, battling pair of social climbers steal the show. 10:00 p.m. "Tugboat Annie" (1933)--Dressler and Beery are funnier than their material--a fun watch.

I'm extremely disappointed that TCM is airing PROSPERITY (1932), the final teaming of Dressler with Polly Moran, at 1:15 in the morning on what I think is the final night of the Dressler SOTM. It would have been ONE HELL OF A NIGHT, if they'd had a triple feature of last week's REDUCING and POLITICS with PROSPERITY- ALL THREE OF WHICH ARE STUNNINGLY CONTEMPORARY AND RELEVANT TO TODAY AND DOWNRIGHT EYE-OPENING THEY ARE SO FASCINATING IN THEIR REPRESENTATION OF PROBLEMS THAT WE THINK ARE UNIQUE TO MODERN LIFE. TCM, i'm trying not be a negative Nancy, and it's nice that you show the movies you do, but sometimes I wonder if you really give enough thought to how illustrative a whole night of programming can be when the films are interrelated and compliment or contrast with one another. SET YOUR DVRS FOR "PROSPERITY" THOUGH- IT IS AMAZING. PS- DINNER AT EIGHT is great; but most of us have seen it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

film lover 293 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Tuesday, June 28th; all times E.S.T.: 8:00 a.m. "Saadia" (1953)--Maltin gives this Albert Lewin directed movie one and one half stars; an automatic signal for me to watch it. 9:30 a.m. "The Prodigal" (1955)--MGM blew roughly $5 million on this stinker, one of the funniest movies Lana ever made. Everyone shows as much skin as MGM dared show; Lanas' initial long entrance into the temple was cited by some reviewers as a high point of the film. Others; Edmund Purdom's (Micah) fight with a big stuffed bird. The videotape I saw showed a hand throwing the raven at Purdom; I hope that wasn't edited out for DVD. For fans of the silly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer5 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 June 28 My picks of the day are: The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills and... Hayley Mills. This film also has Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith, Una Merkel and Charles Ruggles. I love this movie. I've been watching it ever since I was little (along with all the other Hayley Mills Disney movies, I think I rented all of them from the video store) and have probably seen it 30+ times. I never tire of this movie. Highly recommended if anyone (Holden!) hasn't seen it before. Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color: An Adventure in Color: Mathmagic Land The best math cartoon ever made. And this is coming from someone who intensely dislikes math. This film is so much fun. I own the DVD of this: Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land. --- I'm recording: The Teahouse of August Moon. I'm not the biggest fan of Brando, but this looks like an interesting film. All the Disney cartoons: Clock Cleaners Thru the Mirror The Band Concert Old King Cole Flowers and Trees I love cartoons. I'm also recording the documentary: Waking Sleeping Beauty. I like documentaries. I like cartoons. Documentaries about cartoons are even better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
