Thursday can’t come soon enough for me!

Geraldine Page wasn't in either of those movies nor was she a Warner Brothers contract player.
She was only 19 years old in 1943.

The entry should be for Geraldine Fitzgerald who was a WB contract player and is in both of those films and the next 2 movies on the schedule: The Mask of Dimitrios and Three Strangers.

Geraldine Fitzgerald wasn't in The Mask of Dimitrios.

Thanks, The Mask of Dimitrios is part of a tribute to Sydney Greenstreet.

Here is the way it looks on TCM's WB100 summary (and now on my document):

Tuesday, April 18 (late)

Geraldine Fitzgerald
4:15 am Watch on the Rhine (1943)
6:15 am Nobody Lives Forever (1946)

Wednesday, April 19

Sydney Greenstreet
8:00 am The Mask of Dimitrios (1944)
10:00 am Three Strangers (1946)

I remembered that after I posted it. I should have gone back to fix it. She was in Three Strangers which airs after it.

I only look at cmovieviewer's big running schedule and try to guess the themes. I confused myself.

Same here, although I can't watch the Cubs because Dish doesn't carry their channel. I still love catching games on the radio and that will have to do until a streaming option not subject to blackouts or tied to an RSN becomes available.

I long for the days of coming home from school and turning on either WGN or TBS to watch baseball. Summers were the best: Bozo the Clown heading into Cubs pregame.

It is annoying that TCM isn't a standalone service for either live TV or streaming AND that baseball requires paying for a full TV package just for baseball. It is stupid to me that MLB TV doesn't allow the broadcast of local teams in real-time. I contacted them, and well, that's just how it is. Blackouts are foolish. People still watch baseball on TV.
I prefer day games or the condensed repeat the following afternoon. I loathe sports but tolerate baseball.
For me, the San Francisco Giants as I live in the North Bay Area.
Listening to baseball on radio would take some of the pleasure away. I'm too far away for the FM broadcast, so it is AM or pay for television.
I will say for the radio listener, MLB TV has changed their audio service to At Bat.
Here is the scoop:

The On Demand section for TCM on Xfinity is a little better than normal. I've never really gone for anything but live TV. Force of habit.

Looks like 8 of these movies are currently available (with 6 indicated as "New") on HBO Max's TCM hub. Hopefully that service already has access to the restored versions.

The print for Safe in Hell is the new restoration. The HBO Max hub is often a good clue for what Warner Archive will release on Blu-ray in the future, so I am willing to bet the new restorations will appear there.

Such is the convoluted polyamory of corporate mergers, acquisitions, and consortiums that Warner Bros is celebrating its 100th anniversary by selling all kinds The Wizard of Oz* goodies and tchotchkes . . . like for instance:

The Wizard of Oz Cuckoo Clock


Bust my buttons if this high tech timepiece doesn't boast impressive craftsmanship!



Here's a delightful conversation piece to make you the envy of the entire institution, or perhaps the perfect gift to give a youngster nightmares while Witchie-poo watches over the tyke as he/she sleeps.



And nothin' screams "STYLIN'!" like designer footware by Pantoufles d'Oz. The Warner Bros Shop instructs "Intended for display only; not to be worn." But c'mon! What owner of these glitzy pumps is not going to tuck her tootsies (or his tootsies, if you swing that way) inside them and proudly strut down The Yellow Brick Road -- or any color brick road! -- like a queen! Emerald City, here I come!


* Produced by MGM.

That looks like a nightmare to dust, keep clean.
No thank you.
I'll most likely see one of these in my repair shop within two years.

Just watched a Bugs Bunny cartoon between movies.
I love that!

As a youngster, my brother and I would watch cartoons on Saturday morning.
We were born in 1956/1957. Kids our age enjoyed Saturday morning!
Thanks for the information!
