Great cast & don't remember seeing on TCM before

Sunday, 10:30 ET, Callaway Went That Away with Fred MacMurray. Not a great movie, but a very good, entertaining one. Especially if you remember the cowboy or western movies and even TV shows of that time period.
Sunday is Fred MacMurray day on SUTS.

Tomorrow afternoon (Sunday August 25) during Fred MacMurray's Summer Under The Stars Day, TCM will be showing one of my favorite movies --- A Millionaire For Christy.

This little-known screwball comedy from 1951 features a wonderful performance by Eleanor Parker and some great southern Californian exterior shots.

I'm also a fan of A MILLIONAIRE FOR CHRISTY.
Such a fun movie!
I discovered it on TCM a few years ago.

"Faithful in My Fashion" (1946)

"Jeff (Tom Drake) arrives home to New York City after being away in the Navy for several years. Unaware that his fiancée, Jean (Donna Reed), is now dating a man (Warner Anderson) at the department store where she works, Jeff assumes she is still intends to marry him. In order to save Jeff from heartache, several employees at Jean's store set up a ruse to keep Jeff unaware of Jean's new man until he is deployed again. Jean cooperates with the ruse, but it isn't long before secrets get revealed....

American romantic comedy film directed by Sidney Salkow and starring Donna Reed, Tom Drake and Edward Everett Horton...

"....Typical MGM second feature of the time gives their younger players a chance to shine, while backed up by a veteran cast of supporting players. It's strictly lightweight since all dark traces of war have been removed from Drake's returning soldier. As a comedy, it's more sweet and mildly amusing than funny. Drake's ultra-boyish Jeff is the idealized boy-next- door, while Reed's conflicted Jean is still the picture of wholesomeness. Together, they're the audience's ideal young couple for facing a post-war future, with all the essentials moving into place..
Drake may never have become the studio's second Van Johnson, while Reed is mainly remembered as one of TV's favorite moms. Still, the two do have their moments of genuine charm in this otherwise forgettable period piece."

"Faithful in My Fashion" (1946)

TCM has shown Faithful in My Fashion several times before, but mostly in 2015 or earlier. The one relatively recent showing was in the daytime on January 27, 2021 as part of a tribute to Donna Reed's centennial birthday.

Have saved Shelley Fabares singing Johnny Angel scene from The Donna Reed Show. Setting is her visiting college she wants to attend and sings as part of audition(?) of some kind. Reed watches from the sides. Struck me that Reed and Fabares really could pass for mother and daughter.

The Barbara Rush tribute is coming up tomorrow. She was one of Robert Osborne's closest friends. Bigger Than Life is one of Nicholas Ray's best films, but not the easiest to watch, as James Mason falls under the spell of the wonder drug cortisone and terrorizes his wife and son.

I haven't seen World in His Corner, a boxing movie. It Came From Outer Space isn't my kind of film, but The Young Philadelphians is one of the best 50s melodramas. Robin and the 7 Hoods has such a starry cast that it ought to be more entertaining than it is.

[Fedya]

Bigger Than Life is up there with Imitation of Life as one of the great unintentional comedies of the 1950s.

I was not aware of this movie but it interests me.

I hope it's available on WatchTCM.

So what do you guys think about TCM spotlighting political films.Films send messages I don't know if Nip realized it but Star Trek was socialism.

Yes, and especially so of course "The Trouble with Tribbles" episode.

Wait! How's THAT you ask???

Well, wasn't the point of it showing the terrible things that can happen when "unfettered Capitalism" becomes SO unregulated that it results in a vast surplus of goods and thus driving down their value to almost nothing on the open market?!

(...uh-huh, sure...THINK about it!!!)

LOL

William Shatner in Boston Legal was a Republican.
My goodness, why must a late 60s show be political?
Star Trek was just good sci-fi for a pre-treen like me in the late 60s.
I watched it when it was new.

It's more common than you think. Rod Serling was upset about a real life lynching and wrote about it but the network wouldn't use it so he incorporated it in a Twilight Zone ep. insteadhttps://screenrant.com/twilight-zone-inspiration-emmett-till-death-censorship/
