The same thing happened with Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - after the failed broadcast it was later posted to WatchTCM along with the introduction and wrap-up. I would imagine that TCM has to prepare the video for streaming and it may be a separate production path. It is possible that this path worked...

I love Li'l Abner and have the soundtrack on my phone. When I was a kid, I had both the original Broadway cast album and the film soundtrack LPs. I love the way the opening number -- "It's a Typical Day in Dogpatch USA" -- introduces all the characters. I saw the Encores production at NY ...

Happens all the time. The bad guys are sadists or have a bizarre sense of humor and come up with some elaborate way to kill people instead of just shooting them in the head. Simplify, simplify. Yeah, I really enjoyed that sequence. Why not just shoot them? Much easier. Yep, pretty much just a varia...

My favorite movie musical never makes any lists ever. I saw a summer stock production of Li'l Abner as a kid and have loved it ever since. Interestingly, Paramount Pictures backed the creation of the Broadway show (1956) with the specific intention of making a movie version. The movie (1959) kept m...

Yes, Alma is back as a Spanish name, pronounced "Ahlma." The name from the past was "you can call me Al-ma." What movie character was named Alma? I seem to remember one. Not a character, but Alma Reville was a script writer, assistant director and had various other behind the sc...

My introduction to daytime soaps was the ABC soaps. The woman that my sister & I stayed with after school recorded all of the ABC soaps. The one my sister and I liked the best was ALL MY CHILDREN. We didn't really care for GENERAL HOSPITAL. Our aunt (my mother's sister) later introduced us to D...

Devil Girl from Mars (1954) An isolated Scottish inn has as guests one night in winter: a model who is running away from her married boyfriend, a hiker who is an escaped convict, a professor who lost his way while going to investigate a meteorite, a dipsomaniac reporter doubling as the professor's ...

Both are on the list.

I know Moulin Rouge was 25th, but I'm not seeing Chicago on the original post.

I'd pick Chicago over Moulin Rouge.

Damned if some eps of PERRY MASON are not BAROQUE in their plotting

I came across this article about David Manners. Very strange his star was removed. Has that ever happened before? I know some have been removed over the years at the Chinese, but they have limited space, while the Walk of Fame does not. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hollywood-star-removed-when-gay...

Even going back further to one of Hitchcock's silents, from 1926: The Lodger.
