Cinecolor was one of the poorer color processes in those days and hasn't stood the test of time. It was used a lot by the smaller studios and independent producers because it was cheaper than Technicolor. Over the years the prints were prone to fading and turning pink or purple. While I have seen so...

This was a nice little surprise for me. I had never seen it and knew little more about it than it starred Stephen Boyd. I really enjoyed the film, especially the James Robertson Justice character. I'm glad I recorded it and even more so that I watched it instead of putting it on my ever growing &quo...

I'm a projectionist at our local film society and last night we ran BULLDOG DRUMMOND (1929) with Ronald Colman and Joan Bennett. Terrific film. It was Coleman's first talkie.

Thanks for the information. Since my interests are mostly for older films, I don't need to update each of them every year and since I have the 2009 Time Out, this year I'll get the 2010 Radio Times guide. In fact, I think I'll go over to amazon uk and check it out right now.

What's the Radio Times Film Guide like? Short thumbnail listings or more detailed? I've never seen it in the stores here in the states. I do have the Time Out Film Guide which isn't bad. My only complaint is that the printing is pretty small and hard for me to read.

Maybe the repetitions are done to help viewers catch their favorites in a very busy time of year. Or perhaps it is due to the fact that permission to broadcast some films may end on December 31st? [/quote] Moira, you're right about the holiday repeats. Even with regular movies, TCM tries to repeat ...

The first edition of CLASSIC MOVIE GUIDE contains films up to 1960. I'm guessing with the new edition he'll increase that to 1965 or 1970 to take some of the load off the other book.

Great literature it may not be, but being a book I thought it would fit in here. For those of you who, like me, depend upon CLASSIC MOVIE GUIDE here's some good news. In his introduction to the 2010 edition of his other MOVIE GUIDE, Leonard mentioned how difficult it's become to cram any more titles...

April, Do you know if this release any different from the 4-disc version that came out in 2004? I don't usually "double-dip", as they say, and keep buying new editions of DVDs.

Just wanted to thank Lynn and anybody else who might have had a hand in getting Charlie Tabesh as a guest here. It was certainly a great success. I hope he enjoyed being with us too. Perhaps, he'll be willing to come back again. Thanks again.

Moira,
Thanks for posting the interview. He's so sharp and apparently healthy, I can see how he might still do a bit of acting now and then.

Mark

Wow! It's just terrific that he's not only still with us, but doing well at his age. The man is fine actor, but I'm afraid that, except among more knowledgeable film fans, he's been somewhat overlooked in the U.S. and that's a shame. I've seen all of his films that you listed except THE LONG AND THE...

Hi Charlie, Thank you for the great effort by you and everybody at TCM to make it what it is. I'll also give you my personal thanks for all the terrific British films you've been getting from MGM and other sources. These are films that nobody else shows in the U.S. and are not on DVD. If it wasn't f...

I remember many years ago when I first subscribed to cable TV, the remote was hardwired to the box with a 20 foot cable. As old fashioned as that may seem, there was certainly something to be said for that arrangement. You never heard "Where the @%#!! is the remote?"

No disrespect to opposing views intended, but I'd far sooner watch Stan & Ollie serving Her Majesty's Indian government in Bonnie Scotland . What if they had made BONNIE SCOTLAND in color..... (just kidding) Hey, I don't mind if people take an opposite view. It would be pretty boring around her...
