Mar 1 13 8:39 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Here's the link: http://www.tcm.com/schedule/monthly.html?tz=est&sdate=2013-5-01 I haven't looked at it too deeply, but do like the morning of the 11th with a 6am showing of THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN followed by THE STRANGLER and Peter Lorre in CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. The broadcast day then ends with THE TWONKY and 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T. That's five recordings for me right there plus May 2nd has THE MYSTERY OF MR. X, an early serial killer film with Robert Montgomery in good form (before he started doing Bugs Bunny impressions), this is one I've been waiting to reappear for some time.

That looks like a really good start, Clore.

They've been screwing up that way of late, listing GONE WITH THE WIND and BEN HUR as two-parters and starting at the same hour. But they did run consecutively (with intermission in-between) and in order.

I like how on the 30th, they have a daytime sked filled with originals and remakes, such as FIVE CAME BACK and BACK FROM ETERNITY. I'd love to see that become a monthly feature. It would have been nice if they did that for THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR but only the remake is listed, that's on the 17th.

Mar 1 13 3:00 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Clore, I agree with you about the original/remake feature, that would be nice. TCM seems to less "organized" features now, like they used to, I mean in terms of Darkness After Dawn and the Musical and Western slots they used to have on weekends. Now, they sort of have it, like with the series films on Saturdays, but they don't really formalize it anymore. Darn, that would have been nice to see the original THE THIRTEENTH CHAIR.

Mar 1 13 3:19 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	TCM seldom keeps anything going for long. So I doubt showing an original followed by the remake will become a regular feature. About half of the genre films I listed have already been shown on TCM this year.

May 6 13 8:53 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Cody, good question. I was thinking the same thing myself. I'm hoping it's a good one.

May 7 13 9:41 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hopefully it's better than what just got released ( from a 16mm source ). I'll be recording it to see what they have

May 8 13 3:10 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Has THE STRANGLER ever been on before? I don't think it has. Probably the best thing Victor Buono ever did. He's really creepy in this one. I have a recording of THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN from years ago when it was on TNT. It looked like a 35mm print and it remains the best copy of it that I have seen. It was full screen, of course. Not sure what the OAR would be on that one. Do let us know how it looked after the 11th!

May 9 13 12:49 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well I for one will be keeping an eye out Saturday morning to see just how good Squeamy Ellis looks in this one . I only have the film on one of those mega multi pack horror movie editions. It's such a bizarre hybrid of cheap horror and urban film noir with a nod to White Heat at the end. Those scenes of him in the tunnels getting blasted used to creep me out as a kid. I love the film.

May 11 13 8:31 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Caught THE STRANGLER this morning, I had never seen it before, really good, I thought. Buono was excellent, and so was Ellen Corby. Watching CRIME AND PUNISHMENT now with Lorre and Edward Arnold. And a really pretty Marian Marsh. I'd seen it a long time ago, pretty dark and proto-noir in tone, I thought. Good morning on TCM. Coming up later is THE FALCON'S BROTHER.

05/13/13 2:32 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	VERY late notice: THE CAPTAIN HATES THE SEA (1934) starts today at 3:45 ET on TCM - in about 15 minutes. It's got Victor McLaglen, John Gilbert, Walter Connolly, and a cameo by The Three Stooges. I've never seen it, but its a Columbia GRAND HOTEL mystery/comedy satire on a luxury liner The story goes Harry Cohn became alarmed by the cost overrun fueled by the heavily drinking cast and sent a cable to Lewis Milestone that read: "Hurry up! The cost is staggering!" Milestone sent a cable to Cohn that read: "So is the cast!" Last Edited By: Friend of Daniel 05/13/13 2:37 PM. Edited 1 times.
