cinemafan Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Some highlights for me - a very young Ann Sheridan in the Extras short. a very young Robert Mitchum in the Makeup short (getting chest hair pasted on!) 1942 They were not named inidividually in the schedule, but from the UCLA Shorts & Newsreels - the one about "Americanism" 1939 with James Cagney, Paul Muni, Edward Arnold and more. the Gone With the Wind premiere newsreel with the last of the Boys in Gray (old soldiers) and Laurence Olivier trailing way behind Viven Leigh. the Defense Bonds short with Ronald Reagan and a blonde Jane Wyman. the March of Dimes newsreel with an uncomfortable looking Van Johnson and Margaret O'Brien. Fats Domino playing the piano and being questioned (baited) by unseen reporters about why there were riots in cities over rock and roll. Fats Domino appeared to be one of the most positive, dignified people I have ever seen Stunts short - I'd seen this one before - scary but entertaining. I enjoyed the evening - glad I took a chance and watched without knowing what was coming up next at times. (Got to get to work now). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 We've been discussing this in another forum. I think THE PROWLER should have been included. No idea why it was not added as either part of Summer of Darkness or the UCLA spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yeah, I was laughing out loud at watching the youthful Mitchum getting his 'chest toupee' attached last night. (...overall, a fun night of TCM programming) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
