They showed Carousel a couple of days ago. Such great music, but the best part of rewatching it was, in the movie version they had location shots on coastal New England, with everyone hopping into a sailboat to go to the island where they held the clambake. Jumping into a catboat to sail to an island for a clambake featuring fresh clams, corn, and lobster is my idea of heaven.
Last night, they showed the first episode of "The Story of Film: An Odyssey". Really fascinating; what's even better, TCM will be showing over 100 films featured in the documentary on Monday and Tuesday during primetime/late night.
It's going to be hard to resist TCM on Monday nights this month.
i was only allowed to watch the first hour. Jrzy needs to watch The Long Island Medium. i hope The Mag 7 ending is different this time than the other 82 times i've seen it.
I think this time they find the Maltese Falcon, which is in the same vault where Rose hid it before the ship went down. They sell it and are able to pay the orphanage's tax debt before Mr. Smith reaches Washington and sponsors the bill funding Cyberdyne Systems.

Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again watched Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca on TCM. A classic. My favorite part is the scene where Joan Fontaine sneaks into the West Wing of the house and is discovered there by Mrs. Danvers (the incomparable Dame Judith Anderson), who indulges her curiosity about the former Mrs. De Winter, much more than she bargained for.
Such a good movie. Olivier wanted Vivien Leigh to play the second Mrs. deWinter. He disliked Joan Fontaine intensely. Works in the movie.

Last night, I watched Frank Capra's 1933 version of "Apple Annie." Aside from a remarkable character film, the lead character was a handsome, yet slightly 'underworld' type named "Dave, The Dude." Hearing folks in 1930's garb calling a character "Dude" while thinking of the Big Lebowski was weird, but cool.
don't make me cut you!
Especially on Father's Day.
