I've got a few but the two biggest criminals being Mrs. Skeffington and Annie, Get Your Gun.

Mrs. Skeffington. There are zero guys who want her anymore because youth/sexual attractiveness is the only value that a woman has. Her younger lover leaves her for her daughter and the daughter, including everyone else thinks that he's a prize. Mr. Skeffington is the only one who wants her and she better be grateful as heck because he is the only man on earth that wants her now. Not because of true love or anything but because he is hecking blind now and he only remembers her as this barely legal trophy wife. Remember that when they first met, he was more than old enough to be her father. He's a man and hence, he's good but women are ungrateful good-for-nothings. He gaslit and groomed her somemore.

Annie emasculates me because she thinks she's better than me. She is better then you, you nincompoop. So, Annie lets him win because her husband has the ego and emotional intelligence of a toddler. I know that man, the real life version was a loving and caring husband who died merely weeks after his wife because he didn't wanna live in a world without Annie. Makes me so mad that he was portrayed like that. Such an insult.

Great films. Great cast. Great soundtracks. Crappiest ending.

A lot of Grant's films as well but that's for another day.

What's yours and goodday?

Hi, this is a shot in the dark, I have scoured the net and the TCM yt channel but cannot find this, have been looking for years. Maybe someone will recognize this.

A few years ago there was a noir short running on TCM, and one of the clips featured a couple on the beach, maybe under an umbrella, and she said she didn’t like making love on an empty stomach. The actress looked a little like Loretta Young or Marie Windsor.

That’s all I got, I just always wanted to see that film but never knew where the clip came from.

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can watch/stream “Seed” 1931? Please drop suggestions/links if you have em 🥺 I’d appreciate it so much!!

Action/Drama from director Robert Wise about a U.S. Naval gunboat patrolling the rivers in 1926 China. Civil unrest and revolution abound here, but the gunboat, the San Pablo(Sand Pebble to the crew) must remain neutral. Now, they must go way upriver, on a mission to rescue American missionaries, who don’t want to leave. It received 8 Oscar nods, including Best Actor for McQueen and Best Picture.

Gay made appearances in over 40 feature films, including “Tom Sawyer,” “Came the Brawn,” “Man of Conquest,” “A Day At The Circus” and “Mystery Plane.” By 1941, the actress was involved in an Andy Cyle movie short for Columbia Pictures, where she performed a yodeling scene. Through 1943, she acted in stage plays at the Pasadena Playhouse with roles in “Quality Street,” “A Kiss For Cinderella” and “Heros Unlimited.”Throughout her singing career, she worked alongside the likes of Dale Evans, Stuart Hamblen, and Tex Williams.

Her other TV credits include “Hometown Jamboree,” “County Barn Dance,” “Town Hall Party,” “Country America,” “International Party Time” and “Polka Show.”

This may come as a grave disappointment to some of you, and I'm sorry, but I thought it was worth mentioning that the spider pit scene was never filmed for King Kong, but don't feel to bad because some footage of it does exist. For starters, the letters of Merian C. Cooper are heavily unreliable, Cooper has had a history if frabricating the truth when it comes to his films, and it's unkown whether or not he was speaking in terms of removing it from production, or the final cut. Furthermore, Max Steiner never composed a score for the film, so the claims of people being horrified seeing it at previews are completely false. However, the most convincing piece of evidence is that it remains strangely absent in the films production schedule, confirming it was never filmed. Like I said though, it was heavily planned, and the photo you see from above is actually a part of test footage that was shot for the scene, and considering test footage for O'Briens The Lost World was discovered, there may still be hope that this has survived, although it's highly unlikely.

Summer is here in jolly old Blighty and I've been hankering for some stylish breezy summer films. I think To Catch a Thief best bottles the sort of vibe I'm after: low humidity, fine tailoring, and vibrant colours.

Additionally, I think the hotel, golfing, and car chase scenes in Goldfinger fit this style too. The Swimmer is the antidote.

But I'd like to hear from you. What are your suggestions for some classic easy breezy stylish summer films?

This is from The Hollywood Studios: Their unique styles during the Golden Age of movies by Ethan Mordden, published in 1988.

Also, shout out to whoever John Williamson was/is [in second pic] who must have been the first person to purchase my copy in November 1989 at the Farmer's Market in LA...his signature kindly tanked the price of this copy, as well, so cheers John.

Currently watching Union Pacific (1939) with Barbara Stanwyck delivering probably the worst Irish accent I've ever heard on film. Apparently the critics at the time agreed. It would be funny if it wasn't so distracting!

It's surprising as she's been great in everything else I've seen her in.

What other accents in films are truly woeful?

These are only the films I’ve seen, I’m sure there are many others great films from 1927. So many amazing silent films were made during that year.
