Re: TCM Premieres....
Coming up on June 4 is The Velvet Touch , which is somewhat like All About Eve as a film noir. Rosalind Russell plays the famous actress. Theater life isn't always pleasant, and a murder ensues. Is The Velvet Touch a TCM premiere? It is an RKO film and thus was part of the former Turner library of ...

Re: July 2024 Schedule Posted, Eva Marie Saint is SOTM
As part of the Eva Marie Saint tribute, I would like to see The Trip to Bountiful . The very first production of that Horton Foote play took place on NBC-TV in 1953 and starred Lillian Gish, Eva Marie Saint, Eileen Heckert, and John Beal. Later in 1953, it opened on Broadway with Lillian Gish and E...

Re: Noir Alley
Depending on how one defines a noir film, Lizabeth Scott was in 9 noir films (and Bad for Each Other is NOT one of them), and was a femme fatale in only 2: Strange Loves of Martha Ivers - No Dead Reckoning - Yes Desert Fury - No I Walk Alone - No Pitfall - No Too Late for Tears - Yes Dark Corner - N...

I guess duplicative names were a thing for a hot minute? Berry Berry, Humbert Humbert As for the use of Berry-Berry in All Falls Down: I have always assumed the duplicate first name, was a sign of affection. One name wasn't enough to show how much they loved the child, so give him duplicate first n...

Re: Coming up on TCM...
I guess I'm different. I grew up hating Fred MacMurray because of the Disney films and didn't become a fan until I saw Double Indemnity.
(and of course all of us are using "hating" very loosely).

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!
If they showed Vietnam movies there would be so many asking why they’re showing newer movies. There is no pleasing people. True, however I have noticed TCM showing a lot of post-studio era films of late, and not that I think there's any problem with that. And now for one more comment about that sor...
