Smarter people than I may know but if there is a tracking system it must be internal. All of this, my guess is, just comes down to what is their core library. I know they don't own anything but some arrangements must have longer contracts than others. I'm sure there is some sense of recycling the fa...

[quote="MissGoddess"] I tried Prime Suspect but I couldn't really get into it. I haven't seen Cracker. I think they are just too realistic for my taste. If you didn't like "Prime Suspect" then you can probably pass on "Cracker." It is a tough character driven drama. Rob...

Don't know if this works for your game but....

What do Charley Chase, Cary Grant and Charles Laughton have in common?

Shirley did the role on stage that Katharine did in "Summertime." Shirley was also in "Desk Set" on stage with Katharine doing the film. They did "The Philadelphia Story" together on stage.

Two very different women also starred with Burt Lancaster.

[quote="MissGoddess"]I thought I'd make a list of westerns mentioned here I've never seen and ask if any of you can tell me does the Western Channel air them or are they on dvd? Sky King Wagon Train Have Gun Will Travel Wanted Dead or Alive Palladin Branded Miss Goddess: Palladin was the n...

MissGodess:

"Inspector Morse" is one of my favorites too. I've only seen 6 or 7 out of the 33 but I think they are quite good. I've even seen the one new story for Inspector Lewis.

If you haven't seen the "Cracker" or "Prime Suspect" series you should check those out.

I'm less bothered about advertising being targeted toward me than I am programming. I always thought it strange that my generation (I'll be 50 in October - gag) and older are the ones with the money, yet we seem to be the least sought after. We are a big part of the population. This factor may, howe...

An early film of interest is "Call of The Wild" with Clark Gable. They were reported to be in love. A woman even claims to be a child of an affair. (I think she is in a documentary on Gable.) I haven't seen it in years but some find the chemistry to almost confirm the affair. The late, gre...

Larry and Moira:

Thanks for your kind words.

Nancy: I'm not sure we've met but let me tell you that there are no idiots here much less token ones. (If anything I actually feel as if I already have that job.) Hollis: You are quite wonderfully correct. I still visit the other board once in awhile and for the most part there seems to be little go...

All of you have made me want to dig out my Cagney books.

As far as other roles are concerned there are several I enjoy. One is "the Man of A Thousand Faces" where he plays Lon Chaney. "One, Two, Three", a Billy Wilder comedy. I even liked hiw two westerns made in the mid 50's.

This is a fine movie. Stewart shows quite a range. He's playful, he's funny (especially when he's giving McClure advice about being a husband) but he's all business when he's looking for his son. The pain he experiences through this ordeal seems real enough. Philip Alford (Jem in "To Kill A Moc...

It always seemed to me as if there had been an "understanding" between Tom and Hallie. Never very open but there. If I remember right the scene where Stoddard and Hallie talk about her learning to read seems to upset Tom a little. It's as if that were the first hint of jealousy. Frankly, I...

I ony by a DVD after I've seen it and would enjoy it enough to get my money's worth.

If I'm looking for ideas on films the people here and TCM is usually where I look.

Anne: I saw your reply to Sandy in the other thread so I though I'd take a stab at the significance of "Rosebud." To me, and possibly me alone, "Rosebud" is his childhood. Yeah, it's a sled but it represents, for him, a simpler time, a simpler life. He had neither when he was an ...
