There was nothing to resolve! lol. That vid had embedding disabled by the person who uploaded it. Have fun!

Actually, there was...I was just doing it wrong. There was no embedding disabled. My problem was that I thought I had to put brackets or something around the url address in the 'Advanced' box, but that's not so. In any event, I figured it out.

William Wyler is my favorite director, with Hitch second. His daughter, Patricia, made cameo appearances in three films: Psycho, Strangers On a Train and Stage Fright. His wife Alma, edited scripts and gave final approval on many.

Patricia Hitchcock with her dad.

'The Member of the Wedding', one of my favorite films. Julie Harris, 27 here, playing a 12 year old girl - and she clinched it!! Not too many can get away with that!! She was nominated for an Oscar, but did not win. IMO, she should have - her performance was outstanding!

Here's my favorite scene from that film - Ethel Waters was magnificent as the housekeeper/nanny.

i can do without a Forrest Gump marathon on AMC...enough already...there's plenty of oscar winners out there without them repeating this "yawrn". i didn't like it when i saw it at the theatre. and i don;t consider it a classic. my .02

One of my favorites from the old guard.
I liked his presence in his movies, his range of roles,
and the fact that, according to his bio,
"He was one of the first Hollywood celebrities to declare his support for the gay rights movement,
in his Playboy interview from January 1969. He further stated that he would have no problem playing gay
characters on screen, since he was secure with his own sexual orientation."
I'm watching The Dirty Dozen, a helluva lot more entertaining
than Forrest Gump.

See ya at the movies.

I was watching this too - not one of my faves, as I'm not that keen on war movies, altho admitedly, there are some wonderful war flicks. I fell asleep before finishing it. Lee Marvin has a very strong personality - to me, he is the epitome of 'macho'. Indeed, he can be comfortable in his skin playing a gay man, or any 'deviant' role - who could ever question his manhood? Certainly not I!!!

John Casavettes who plays Franco in The Dirty Dozen won an Oscar for his performance. Everytime I see him, I can't help thinking of 'Rosmary's Baby', lol. He also directed, and worked behind the scenes alot. Married to Gina Rawlins, their son, John Jr. is a director himself.

Yeah, what's up with the Gump marathon?? I dislike AMC, and rarely watch it unless I come across a really good film they may be showing...it irritates me to no end that they have commercials. And if they *must*, good grief, why can't they show 'em BETWEEN movies!!!! grrrrrr.

Oh, btw, Ol' Jet...West Side Story will be showing soon - I think next Tuesday, but you can check TCM's schedule to make sure.

Ben Hur on on Sunday at 8pm.

Question - how do you like the 'between-the-films' discussions, commentaries, dialougues that go on? Robert Osborne, whom I admire greatly - the man's a 'walking encyclopedia' is very informative. I also love his 'guest programmers', interviews, etc. I have been watching TCM on a daily basis (well, almost) for 15 years - since it started. I have learned a wealth of background info on everything to do with Hollywood, so very interesting. I also have a large collection of books on Hollywood, it's history and beginnings, the studio system, bios on the stars, etc. I have Volumes I & II of Hollywood Bablyon - a very interesting (and eye-opening) insight to juicy scandal and little known facts about the Icons we love so much!!! A good read indeed!!!!

It was good the first time...maybe the second...but now it's just another example of a network trying to get their money's worth I guess.

Tom Hanks marathon? That would be OK but please, please, please more than just one (or three) films.
