I hope to see it. The first few days of my trip is work, but I have almost two weeks after that to see friends and go to the theater. It sounds like an interesting production, though I must confess I had never heard of Nicole Scherzinger. I love Jamie Lloyd's work. I've seen The Hothouse, Richard I...

The Egyptian is one of my favorite films. Gene Tierney does indeed give a wonderful performance as Baketamon. All of the women in the film are great, but the star that shines brightest is this one, who also doesn't get enough credit for her performance: (Here's a little quiz for you Bronxie: Who in...

Hi. Some of you knew me on the TCM boards as DougieB. I gave up trying to register here for quite a while, but this time it worked. So, hello all and I'm looking forward to meeting up with some old acquaintances, and new ones as well. The new name and avatar seemed appropriate to me because DougieB...

Welcome! If I recall we discussed a Jane Powell movie on the Musicals section at TCM. Oh right. I think it started with Three Sailors and a Girl and then moved on to The Girl Most Likely , Jane's last musical. I've always thought she was one of the best movie sopranos because she had dance and come...

There's been a major restoration and re-release. The band talked about it last night with Stephen Colbert. This is the second of three segments from that interview; it covers the film specifically but the other segments are on YouTube and have great stories for any fans out there. Colbert really gee...

Welcome back, I thought there was already a member with the name I Love Melvin back on the old TCM boards, maybe there was and it was someone else, not you. Thanks, Detective. I was there from 2009 on and don't remember seeing it, but I had my favorite haunts and didn't get everywhere. Anyway, it's...

I've never seen "I Love Melvin." Sounds like a fine film! Fine is a good word for it because it's probably pretty minor in the MGM canon, but I like the exuberance and modest charm of it, as well as the seemingly meant-to-be chemistry of Donald and Debbie Reynolds. I first saw it on a loc...

I hope That Touch Of Mink will be one of the TBA movies shown during the Cary Grant Star Of The Month tribute. I saw it for the first time this past April at the TCM Film Festival. I thoroughly enjoyed it! It's probably anathema to say this about a movie starring Cary Grant and Doris Day, but my fa...

Is my mind playing tricks? I just watched Heston in Diamond Head (1962) but it's not listed. It may have been on my DVR for a bit though, so maybe part of some other theme last month? Regardless, he was pretty good, though the movie dealt with interracial relationships in the usual way, by not reall...

Yeah, I get it, but I'm now using I Love Melvin as my universal user name so I figured I'd just rip off the bandaid right away. (The movie and Donald O'Connor are personal favorites, whereas DougieB was just someone's momentary whim.) There's no stealth involved, just my personal level of comfort. I...

MARNIE: "Hitchcock considered Marilyn Monroe for the title role" But she was already dead two years (1962) unless he was thinking about casting choices a few years before this movie was made in 1964. He started pre-production in 1961 shortly after the novel was published. Princess Grace w...
