Amour is fantastic film with Trintignant and Isabelle Huppert in a small role as the daughter.I do not know if TCM will be adventurous enough to show The Piano Teacher with Huppert again (she is the world's greatest film actress ) .I have seen severa of Haneke's films, they were all memorable Regar...

I think I also looked for the soundtrack to EVIL UNDER THE SUN back in the 1980's- now that I know COLE PORTER'S work better, I MARVEL at what a MASTERWORK the score is, not only is it wonderfully composed and orchestrated seguing from one song into another like a long suite, it even cleverly inser...

Topsy-turvy PM screen tests. Burr as Burger. William Hopper as Mason. And Burr as Mason...

Especially in the later seasons when he had put on quit a few pounds. His weight really fluctuated during the series. I'd bet you anything RAYMOND BURR was depressed. If you only know hIM from PERRY MASON, it's WILD to come across some of his film roles in the 40's and 50's where he really got to D...

MARY & GEORGE Anybody else looking at this? https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/bfc/0de/eb2b99e523615eded26de0278d4c7a14c7-mary-george-season1-episode2.1x.rsquare.w1400.jpg yES. Yes. I checked it out.... sigh I wish modern interpretations of both GAY STORIES and HISTORICAL DRAMAS didn't have to be ...

Speaking of original Perry Mason TV series, I am always highly interested in the automobiles. Perry would go from a Ford to a Cadillac to a Lincoln, etc. Paul usually drove the best cars - mostly Thunderbirds. Perry paid him well. In the early episodes, Perry drives what looks like a standard Ford,...

Wasn't the Egyptian divvied up into small performance spaces? Is it all one theater again? The Egyptian was all one space. It just reopened a few months ago after being closed for a year (or maybe longer) for a renovation. The theater is gorgeous. We saw two movies there during the festival. Fantas...

First, let me say that I adore TCM and could not live without it. For years my husband and I debated about going to the festival but the thought of paying for the cost of the passes plus travel to LA (for 2) always seemed to be a wee bit extravagant to screen movies that, in most cases, you had see...

For those who might have missed it, the Neo-Noir series on TCM was a special theme on Fridays in July, 2021. Each week Ben and Eddie would introduce and discuss three films classified as Neo-Noir. It seemed to be a joint project they had worked out together, and TCM promoted it as an offshoot of No...

Anyone catch the Jennifer Jones/Joseph Cotton double feature on Sun. night? Neither of those films are shown on TCM very much. I tuned in during the middle of Portrait of Jennie (not realizing it was on). I love Love Letters, but it ran too late, so I recorded it to watch this wknd. I love the scor...

...I’m not trying to be critical of Noir Alley for repeats. After 5 years they are probably unavoidable, and at least Eddie is freshening up the material as he sees fit... And exactly the reason I've been saying for years now that I hope Eddie will eventually get around to featuring some Neo-Noir f...

I think there were a handful of jazz nightclub type episodes. Unsure which one I'm remembering. Yeah, suddenly Perry is on 3 or 4 cable channels now with marathons on wknds on one of them. And starting earlier on weeknights too. Yeah, I just noticed tonight that PM is also on another channel in add...

It's been on Sundance, AMC and BBC America lately (with ads), along with on-demand copies on MGM+ and YouTube Movies. I DVR'ed it off Showtime when they had a free week offer some time ago, and my DVR still picks up copies from various networks. The ad networks have about 45 mines of ads, based on ...

With all the smoking done on and off set it's a wonder they could keep the film and cameras clean and uncontaminated.

Sat next to her at the TCM Film Festival the only time I bought the pass for the opening night film ( The Sound of Music was that year for its 50th anniversary). This was a year or two before War Paint . On the other side of us was James Cromwell. Both were very nice. Ended up walking back to the ho...
