The following are movies that might be of interest on Turner Classic Movies in June. All times are Eastern.
This month I am saluting TCM by giving them a thumbs up for playing films which haven't been released on video and are otherwise unavailable. I am also highlighting one of those films, which I hope all here who can will watch and comment upon later (see if you can figure out which one it is   )__________________________________________________

Yeah, I think that's the one Zab means. 

Thanks again, Zab.  I will catch that one.  Quite a few nuggets in there.  I'm also curious to see 'Listen Darling' on June 10th.

Hey Zab, I taped 'Broadway To Hollywood' and watched it yesterday, and that was the first time I'd seen Mickey Rooney as such a young little tow-headed tyke!  He was a darned good dancer in his short scenes, and was a lot cuter to me than he was in the movies as he got older, that I'd seen in the past.   

That was near the end of the movie, and Jackie Cooper was excellent in his part during the first part of the movie, too. 

Love,
Sir J

Darn it.  I'm mad now.    We've had so many power outages around here lately that my vcr never recorded this one:

<i>6:00am A Thousand Clowns
A free-living New Yorker fights to maintain custody of his nephew.
<b>Barry Gordon</b></i>


Well, at least we have 'The Decision of Christopher Blake' coming up soon.  :bigok:

Love,
Sir J

I'm such a dummy.   

Brainlock. Time zones not computing correctly.  Now I've missed another one:

<i>11:00am The Decision of Christopher Blake 
Drama about a child suffering because of his parents divorce.
<b>Ted Donaldson</b></i>

Anyone want a copy of an old movie called 'Whiplash' from 1948?   

Love,
Sir J

Anyone want a copy of an old movie called 'Whiplash' from 1948?

This movie does have Georgie Nokes and Norman Ollestad in it  (boys at the beach)......but I think I'll pass. 

I'll make next month's list in Central. 

I am terribly sorry that you missed O'Shaugnessy's Boy, Sir J. 

Do give a report on Sweethearts, I haven't seen it and I'm curious how much time Terry Kilburn gets.

If you're serious about wanting to know about Terry, there's always the exhaustive BA database of actors. 



Not to drive the dagger in further, but I did get to see The Decision of Christopher Blake this month and I do recommend all here see it if they have the chance.

I'm going to work preparing the July report in a few minutes.....
