Starting at 6:30am they have a great line up: Red Planet Mars, The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues, The Gamma People, Riders to the Stars, The Cyclops, The Queen from Outer Space, The Wasp Women, The Illustrated Man, Beast from the Haunted Cave, Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, Beach Blanket Bingo, Pajama Party, Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine, and Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs. Must be Drive-Inn Night at TCM. Last Edited By: pringly Apr 18 12 3:14 PM. Edited 2 times.

Must be Drive-Inn Night at TCM. THE CYCLOPS was cut, sorry to spoil your fun, but TCM shows the same print everytime they air this film. I don't understand why, especially since WARNER ARCHIVES has a remastered uncut version on DVD. I guess the cut version was cheaper to rent so TCM jumped at it. Sort of makes one wonder what other films shown on TCM are NOT as "complete and uncut" as TCM claims them to be???????

Keaton & Bobbi Shaw have more screen time in PAJAMA PARTY than all the other ones. I think that was the first time I`ve seen the whole film. And Annette was a real doll in PP. At least she didn`t have that laughably bad hairdo she had in BIKINI BEACH. It looked like something was nesting on the top of her head. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Apr 20 12 9:45 AM. Edited 1 times.

Apr 20 12 1:33 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hey Camps, I did get to see it and it was the best print I've ever seen of the film. Very bright and clear unlike the Pd versions. To telll you the truth, though, I don't know if I liked having a better view of the monster which I always thought was veyt creepy in the darkened PD copies. Don't get me wrong, its still creepy, but at least to me, less so when you get a really good look at it. I hope you got the Wasp Women. I can't wait to see what that looks like.

Apr 20 12 7:14 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks, Pringly. I feel somewhat better now than I did last night when I realized I'd missed"Beast." Also, we've seen titles that show up on TCM often make their way to the Warner Archive... As for "Wasp Woman," I've seen the pristine TCM version before; all the gloss in the world can't save that ...

Apr 21 12 11:04 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	ARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I went to watch the Wasp Women last night only to find that my son had erased everything I TiVoed. I really wanted to see that one. Hal, were those scenes added for TV??????

Yes, Susan Cabot and Barboura Morris were honeys (no pun intended... or is it just bees and not wasps that like honey...?) But my fave among all the babelicious Corman regulars will always be Allison Hayes.

I don't think they're on the "official" dvd, so I don't expect they're on the TCM version either, but they show up in "pd" stuff, like on the syndicated OFF BEAT THEATRE and such like.
