Re: I Just Watched...
Especially in the later seasons when he had put on quit a few pounds. His weight really fluctuated during the series. I'd bet you anything RAYMOND BURR was depressed. If you only know hIM from PERRY MASON, it's WILD to come across some of his film roles in the 40's and 50's where he really got to D...

Re: I Just Watched...
Speaking of original Perry Mason TV series, I am always highly interested in the automobiles. Perry would go from a Ford to a Cadillac to a Lincoln, etc. Paul usually drove the best cars - mostly Thunderbirds. Perry paid him well. In the early episodes, Perry drives what looks like a standard Ford,...

Re: 2024 TCM Film Festival
Wasn't the Egyptian divvied up into small performance spaces? Is it all one theater again? The Egyptian was all one space. It just reopened a few months ago after being closed for a year (or maybe longer) for a renovation. The theater is gorgeous. We saw two movies there during the festival. Fantas...

Re: 2024 TCM Film Festival
First, let me say that I adore TCM and could not live without it. For years my husband and I debated about going to the festival but the thought of paying for the cost of the passes plus travel to LA (for 2) always seemed to be a wee bit extravagant to screen movies that, in most cases, you had see...

Re: Noir Alley
For those who might have missed it, the Neo-Noir series on TCM was a special theme on Fridays in July, 2021. Each week Ben and Eddie would introduce and discuss three films classified as Neo-Noir. It seemed to be a joint project they had worked out together, and TCM promoted it as an offshoot of No...

Re: Coming up on TCM...
Anyone catch the Jennifer Jones/Joseph Cotton double feature on Sun. night? Neither of those films are shown on TCM very much. I tuned in during the middle of Portrait of Jennie (not realizing it was on). I love Love Letters, but it ran too late, so I recorded it to watch this wknd. I love the scor...

Re: Noir Alley
...I’m not trying to be critical of Noir Alley for repeats. After 5 years they are probably unavoidable, and at least Eddie is freshening up the material as he sees fit... And exactly the reason I've been saying for years now that I hope Eddie will eventually get around to featuring some Neo-Noir f...

Re: I Just Watched...
I think there were a handful of jazz nightclub type episodes. Unsure which one I'm remembering. Yeah, suddenly Perry is on 3 or 4 cable channels now with marathons on wknds on one of them. And starting earlier on weeknights too. Yeah, I just noticed tonight that PM is also on another channel in add...

Re: April 2024 Schedule Posted, Marlon Brando is SOTM
It's been on Sundance, AMC and BBC America lately (with ads), along with on-demand copies on MGM+ and YouTube Movies. I DVR'ed it off Showtime when they had a free week offer some time ago, and my DVR still picks up copies from various networks. The ad networks have about 45 mines of ads, based on ...

Re: A Glimpse of Golden Age Hollywood
With all the smoking done on and off set it's a wonder they could keep the film and cameras clean and uncontaminated.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Sat next to her at the TCM Film Festival the only time I bought the pass for the opening night film ( The Sound of Music was that year for its 50th anniversary). This was a year or two before War Paint . On the other side of us was James Cromwell. Both were very nice. Ended up walking back to the ho...

Re: I Just Watched...
I'll defend Lavin's singing a bit here. She was a Broadway (and off-Broadway) veteran long before Alice came about, in musicals and straight plays. She was in an off-Broadway revue with Jo Anne Worley and Paul Sand, among others, called The Mad Show , loosely based on Mad magazine. She sang a song a...

Re: I Just Watched...
I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode of ALICE, but I love the movie ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE [/b]that was the inspiration for the TV series. I'M THE OPPOSITE- I've only seen the TV SERIES, which I grew up watching on THE SUPERSTATION. It would be interesting to see what you think o...
