I was disappointed M*A*S*H wasn't aired this month either.  It won one Oscar (Best Writing) but Sally Kellerman, who passed away in Feb, had a nomination as Best Supporting Actress as Hot Lips.

Have you checked the whole schedule? It's on their on demand and HBO Max hub.

2:00 AM  Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

This movie was pretty scandalous when I was a kid. What made it worse was my Mom (no pics) was a dead ringer for Susan Hayward. Cringe factor 9.5

Leaving Las Vegas hits a little too close to home for comfort. iykwim

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

The Gay Divorcee (1934) is not bad either--'course I like watching Fred and Ginger dance, so there is that, but that particular movie was based on Fred Astaire's last stage show (and then going by the title Gay Divorce).  Cole Porter wrote the music and lyrics for the Broadway show, and Fred singing the eventual number one hit, Night And Day.  That was the only song that made it from the original musical book from the stage production into the film.

The plot is so-so, but this was IIRC Fred's second pairing with Ginger and what a lovely pair they make.

Perhaps not my favorite Astaire film, but a treat to watch.

And the late Ms. Kellerman was in A Little Romance yesterday playing Diane Lane's mother.

Sally Kellerman and Gary Lockwood are in one of the best Star Trek TOS episodes, before they became famous.  I think it was a metaphor for drugs but I'll have to yield to a more experienced opinion.  In each case I was surprised to hear they had died because I didn't think they were alive.

Air Force is so vastly underrated. I always enjoy catching it on those rare occasions. And of course Battleground is one of the top WWII movies ever. Looks like I picked a good time to catch a cold so I can sit around on my ass all day watching movies.

It’s a beautifully made film, too. I commented about it the first time I saw it several years ago. From a technical standpoint it’s brilliant. Later on I went to IMDb to see who was the cinematographer. Turns out it was Gregg Toland, the same guy who shot Citizen Kane.

I’ve often thought that if you really want to appreciate Citizen Kane, you should spend a week or so watching nothing but movies made pre-Kane. I can usually tell when I tune into an old b&w film whether it was made before or after Citizen Kane. When I first saw Grapes of Wrath I thought that was probably the best looking pre-Kane film I ever saw so it made perfect sense when I discovered they were shot by the same guy.

I tend to agree. He was a bit too "campy" at times for me but, there were some movies were he was really good. But, his family roots were in vaudeville/burlesque, so I think that can be excused. Plus, it was a different time for sure. I liked his performance in Boys Town.

I agree, and his contemporary of the time was Jackie Cooper and Cooper had his roots in the Our Gang  comical shorts, so it did seem to be a different style for the time. When young Roddy McDowell arrives on the scene several years later, perhaps the style was already changing?

This is such a great film. June Allyson steals the show. She’s radiant. She’s brilliant every time she’s on screen, particularly in the final scene. Joy and sadness at once. It’s breathtaking.
