Outside of a handful of features, nothing too impressive or dazzling to report. The only ones that caught my eye were the 1937 version of Artists and Models, starring Jack Benny and Ida Lupino (Feb 1, 2pm); the 1945 Brewster's Millions (Feb 2, 8pm); and the Mitchell Leisen comedy No Time for Love (Feb 15, 8pm). Other than that, nothing earth-shattering. (I scan every time hoping to see Private Worlds [1935] tucked away somewhere.)
I also noticed a fair helping of post-1950 Warners titles - at least, more than what station has been broadcasting in the past couple of years: East of Eden, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Friendly Persuasion, maybe 3 or 4 more.

Hooray! the 1991 version of Enchanted April is on at 10 pm ET, Feb 10. This one is better than the 30's version (with apologies to our Ann Harding). One of the best Joan Plowright performances ever! The Italian countryside is stunning, and Michael Kitchen (sigh 
)is in it to boot!
in case no one noticed, this is one of my favorite movies!

I'm excited that they are showing Friendly Persuasion. It is a wonderful, moving, thought provoking story about a family of Quakers trying to stick by their peaceful faith in the midst of the Civil War. Directed by William Wyler and starring (my fave) Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire it has bits of humor, drama, and romance and it is a movie the whole family can enjoy.
It was nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Anthony Perkins), Best Director, Best Original Song, Best Sound Recording, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
FYI, Gary was hoping to get Ingrid Bergman to play the role of his wife to get her career in Hollywood going again. She was very moved by his gesture (they had starred in two films together in the 40s and remained friends) but she turned it down not wanting to hurt his reputation or career.
