By the "library," do they mean Watch TCM?
That is what I thought they were referring to - WatchTCM currently has the movie available to watch. Some of the providers also have an 'on demand' area where films from TCM are posted.
Not always. Just depends on their contract. A typical contract allows for X number of airings within a time period. The streaming rights would be a separate part of the contract. I agree, but I think the question was if they could show a movie an 'extra' time to make up for the failure. If they had...
The same thing happened with Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - after the failed broadcast it was later posted to WatchTCM along with the introduction and wrap-up. I would imagine that TCM has to prepare the video for streaming and it may be a separate production path. It is possible that this path worked ...
As cinemainternational points out, the recent movie issues on TCM were very similar ( Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and Forty Guns ) - in both cases the correct introduction was shown, followed by a period of a dark screen, followed by a replacement movie and other shorts etc. to fill the allotted time....
I looked at Lauren Bacall's autobiography By Myself and Then Some , and she does confirm her wedding date as May 21, 1945. Following her wedding in Ohio, Bogart and Bacall returned to California, and shortly thereafter Bacall began working on the film Confidential Agent which was released in Novembe...
I heard Eddie say in the intro to DARK PASSAGE that Bogart and Bacall were married in 1947 when the year was actually 1945. I hope this does not sound like nitpicking. It really annoys me that many of these hosts naively rely on the TCM research department to get their facts correct. It's just slop...

There's also a sports bundle coming that combines ESPN, WBD and Fox sports content: https://frontofficesports.com/welcome-to-the-great-rebundling/ FuboTV has sued to try to stop it: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/fubotv-files-lawsuit-disney-warner-fox-sports-streaming-platf...
Here is the Noir Alley schedule for May and June so people can get a feel for the rerun situation: 05-04 Dark Passage (1947) (repeat, shown on Noir Alley in 2018) 05-11 Follow Me Quietly (1949) (repeat, shown on Noir Alley in 2018) 05-18 Take Aim at the Police Van (1960) (Japan) (new - a TCM premier...
I still say Eddie should consider making that one-month-only Neo-Noir thing he did with Ben Mankiewicz last year a regular thing, but without Ben. Now, no offense here meant to the nasally one mind you. It's just that I think Eddie should still host his presentations alone. Maybe switch off each ot...
This past weekend there was a similar situation with Silent Sunday Nights - Jacqueline Stewart presented The Merry Widow (1925) with nearly the same script she used from a showing in May of 2021. I haven't been following Silent Sunday Nights enough to know if this is just a coincidence, or if someth...
So sorry I missed this. I love Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. I must not have checked the tv schedule that night. :( Even if you had remembered you would not have been able to see it. There was a glitch in the video on TCM that evening so it was replaced with another showing of Carnival Story . TCM has...
