JamesJazGuitar Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I see that TCM is showing two of the Carole Lombard \ MacMurray movies, Swing High \ Swing Low. As you know there is a cheap, washed out public domain version of this film and True Confessions. That being the case I suspect TCM will be showing the poor version of SHSL. I wished they had shown the other two films they made together; Hands Across The Table and The Princess Comes Across. Oh well, still some fine films being shown with a good deal of variety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, James...there is a good deal of variety here. You're probably right that they will air the public domain copy of SWING HIGH, SWING LOW (they always do). But TRUE CONFESSION, which premiered a year or two ago on TCM had a nice print from NBC Universal (which owns/controls the early Paramount library)...and I think that one should be fine.

TopBilled Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 We may also want to mention that on the first night of this month-long tribute, TCM is showing a rarely seen Paramount classic-- SUDDENLY IT'S SPRING-- which pairs Fred with Paulette Goddard. Mitchell Leisen is the director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaDoria Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'll be in Heaven on January 13th, my two favorite Fred MacMurray films, both with Barbara Stanwyck . Double Indemnity of course, showing his skill at sexy, dark drama and then Remember the Night going to the other extreme with an entirely warm, romantic role. I love him in Alice Adams, too. How generous he was to his co-stars! I think Katherine Hepburn's Alice might have been a little too much at times, if we didn't see her through Fred's forgiving eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact they grouped all four MacMurray-Stanwyck films on the same night. Check out the other two you didn't mention, because they have their moments, and it's always a treat to see these stars collaborate: THE MOONLIGHTER THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
