I ain't a big TV guy, but with the advent of DVR I don't know how people watch TV any other way. You watch only the good stuff on your own terms. Even the folk that still consider it an "idiot box" might find some programs of interest.

Turner bought MGM and then sold it, BUT not before retaining all the rights to many a picture that had not been out of the vault since the mid 50's.

I wish they would show Clarke Gable's biggest flop: Parnell. It is so "out of character" for him (He took on the role to show how well he could act in any part) that in Hollywood circles, the phrase sprang up, to describe an actor's having a bomb: "Well that one was HIS/HER Parnell."

It stars Gable, Edmund Gywnn (Kris Kringle from Miracle on 34th Street), Billie Burke (Glenda the good witch from The Wizard of Oz) and, my all time favorite woman of the silver screen, Myrna Loy. It depicts the life of an Irish statesman Charles Parnell. To be in character, Gable had to sniff snuff and be as effiminent as the real fellow was. The crowds COULD NOT ACCEPT their action hero of the day (this did come out BEFORE Gone with the Wind) and stayed away in droves. It is rumored that Gable tried to buy all outstanding copies of the film and could be one of the reasons that this large budget movie is no where to be found today.

So how did you see it then?

So how did you see it then?
I have studied film for years and have volumes on most all of the major movies from MGM, RKO, 20th Century Fox, Columbia, and Warner Brothers.

One does not have to see a film to know all about it. There have been clips on many shows about Gable as well.

See if you can find the script then. Maybe we can do a remake. The film would probably suck just as much, but there's probably a bit of attraction in the idea of wathcing a movie that was previously lost because somebody tried to cover it up.
