filmlover Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I wouldn't mind a day of rarely seen Dietrich, such as Knight Without Armour and Scarlet Empress. Or even four days devoted to composers Alfred Newman, Miklos Rozsa, Max Steiner, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold (even though they don't come under the heading of "Stars". Each day would have a great variety of films when you consider each did so many different kinds of movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExtraGirl Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Many of those Ray Milland films unfortunately fell under the 'blink-and-you-miss-him' category. I wish TCM could have gotten a hold of more of his later Paramount stuff. I'm dying to see Lady in the Dark and Arise, My Love. Speaking of Ray, I read his autobiography a few months ago and I highly recommend it. It's called Wide-Eyed in Babylon. It's not in print but it can be had for cheap on eBay.

lzcutter Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 ExtraGirl, One of the problems with getting films from Paramount is convincing the folks in charge there that they actually own the films. Paramount does not preserve and restore its studio library as well as some of the others in town. Also, they may be slower than others to upgrade their older holdings to current digital formats as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pktrekgirl Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Some actors who I'd like to see get a day in Summer Under the Stars: Montgomery Clift Ronald Colman Charles Boyer Rock Hudson Errol Flynn I didn't have TCM 2 summers ago, but I don't think any of these guys had a day last August, anyway....
