Re: I Just Watched...
I just watched Cheyenne, episode Fury at Rio Hondo. This was a remake of Hawks\Bogie's To Have and Have Not. Most of the dialog, as well as associated action, was scene-for-scene \ word-for-word. There was the two women (Bacall and Moran), as well as the sidekick (Brennan). The setting was the Mexi...

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???
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...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
I love Li'l Abner and have the soundtrack on my phone. When I was a kid, I had both the original Broadway cast album and the film soundtrack LPs. I love the way the opening number -- "It's a Typical Day in Dogpatch USA" -- introduces all the characters. I saw the Encores production at NY ...

Re: Noir Alley
Happens all the time. The bad guys are sadists or have a bizarre sense of humor and come up with some elaborate way to kill people instead of just shooting them in the head. Simplify, simplify. Yeah, I really enjoyed that sequence. Why not just shoot them? Much easier. Yep, pretty much just a varia...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
My favorite movie musical never makes any lists ever. I saw a summer stock production of Li'l Abner as a kid and have loved it ever since. Interestingly, Paramount Pictures backed the creation of the Broadway show (1956) with the specific intention of making a movie version. The movie (1959) kept m...

Re: I Just Watched...
Yes, Alma is back as a Spanish name, pronounced "Ahlma." The name from the past was "you can call me Al-ma." What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one. Not a character, but Alma Reville was a script writer, assistant director and had various other behind the sc...

Re: I Just Watched...
My introduction to daytime soaps was the ABC soaps. The woman that my sister & I stayed with after school recorded all of the ABC soaps. The one my sister and I liked the best was ALL MY CHILDREN. We didn't really care for GENERAL HOSPITAL. Our aunt (my mother's sister) later introduced us to D...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME
Well, I just noticed that 12 & 13 didn't make the image paste in, so I'm guessing Chicago is in there somewhere.

I know Moulin Rouge was 25th, but I'm not seeing Chicago on the original post.

I'd pick Chicago over Moulin Rouge.

Re: I Just Watched...
I came across this article about David Manners. Very strange his star was removed. Has that ever happened before? I know some have been removed over the years at the Chinese, but they have limited space, while the Walk of Fame does not. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hollywood-star-removed-when-gay...

Re: Noir Alley
Even going back further to one of Hitchcock's silents, from 1926: The Lodger.
Who would've imagined Hitchcock to make a film about a Jack the Ripper-like character?
