MiriamY Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I saw a movie on TCM last night at 2:00 a.m. Central time. It had only dogs actors. They were dressed as people, and walked on their hind legs. It was not scheduled to play at that time. It was very funny until the end. I would love to know the name of the movie and what year it was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saw Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I think it might be: Dogville 1929-- Type: Series Rating: NR PLOT DESCRIPTION One of the first successful short film series of the sound era, during the period 1929-1931 MGM produced nine Dogville shorts, using dogs instead of human actors to lampoon their most popular films. Much of the series was written and directed by Zion Myers and Jules White, who also provided the human voices for many of the dogs. The high-point of the series was the 1930 film The Dogway Melody, which spoofed the musical genre. ~ Richard Gilliam, All Movie Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnytimeAnnie Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 TCM ran a marathon of all nine Dogville shorts a couple of years back. I think I still have them all on VHS--I moved a couple of months ago and my tapes are still in a bit of disarray. If anyone would be interested, I could check and see if I can find the tape and copy it for you. (Seems like the only one I ever catch on reruns is the college football spoof...)
