Just saw a TV ad for the upcoming Melissa McCarthy film THE BOSS, with a definite Murphy Bed gag featured.

Considering that Schallert's period of fatherhood alone lasted long enough to be Nancy Drew's dad as well, he may well live to 150. And he had Trouble With Tribbles, so how many more years would that give him? Schallert goes back to adult roles even earlier; he had the recurring role as the exasper...

Thanks Rick for the alert, those boxes look very useful!

Thanks very much Christine, I'm not in California but I see that the website at the Niles Essanay Museum is selling autographed copies of "Whatever Happened to Baby Peggy" in their store, so I just ordered one. Thanks again.

Thanks for posting that!

He had such a beautiful voice, but I love his acting in silents. I feel like I can tell what he is thinking.

I'm in too, thanks for this!

Very great news. I am very glad to hear that Diana Cary is content with the outcome. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can provide in the way of help in the future.

The Decades channel is showing Buster's Twilight Zone episode 4 times today. The next time is at 5:30pm Eastern time. It repeats at 11:30 pm and 5:30am. Schedule at Decades.com. Who would guess that Hedda Hopper would get top billing over Buster ! Thanks much, I will have to record the 5:30 AM show...

After all the false reports of his death over the years (started by an erroneous article printed when the show Barney Miller, in which he had acted, ended), it's at least good to know that he made it to 94 and apparently died peacefully.
Rest in peace Mr. Vigoda

Congratulations to the winners! Thanks Mike for another Watch That Movie Night, and thanks very much KINO!

I watched the Flicker Alley set of Victory with The Wicked Darling (both 1919), which I purchased last November. Both films were excellent and also gave me the idea of what it was like to watch Lon Chaney just as he was apparently on the verge of moving from being a supporting player to a star. It w...

I'll watch the Flicker Alley set of early Lon Chaney: Victory and The Wicked Darling, which I purchased this year.

The trailer's on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNrrh_xqTX0

Thanks very much Mr. Shepard for providing the donation link. I hope everyone will enjoy the show, which sounds wonderful, and best wishes again to Diana Serra Cary.

This is just me, and I've already pre-ordered it but it would be "L'Inhumaine" from Flickr Alley, mainly because I once saw part of it many years ago and have been wanting very much to see it ever since. I might have gone for the Gillette Sherlock Holmes, but I gave it to a relative as a gift and he...

I've seen both The Wind and Greed at MoMA in New York, though granted a long time ago. I imagine they still have both available. I've seen The Crowd also, but that might have been on TCM.

One of Oliveira's later films will be shown at MOMA on Wednesday.

Thanks Bob, Memories and Confessions sounds fascinating.

It's already been noted on Youtube that Manoel de Oliveira was not included. He was an amazing film maker quite apart from his extraordinary longevity.

I agree, thank you very much Mr. Hutchinson for your efforts. It's a great relief to know that Diana Serra Cary's needs will be taken care of. Very happy for her.

Congratulations Mike and to everyone else here who contribute such great knowledge and information! And many more.

All my best wishes to Diana Cary, let's hope for the best. It pains me to think of the stress this must be causing her and I hope she will be getting help soon.

Ordered!

I've been waiting to see this film on DVD for a really long time, that it's a Blu-ray makes it even more exciting. Thanks for the write-up Mike!

I haven't used them yet myself, but Gofundme sounds more appropriate I think. I'd contribute if it could be set up.

Flicker Alley will be having a 10 percent off sale soon, but won't reveal the discount code until November 30!

Rosemary, glad you enjoyed the DVD and thanks for posting an Amazon review. A number of Baby Peggy shorts have been restored by UCLA, and one or two have recently surfaced at Gosfilmofond. Also, BFI has a print of THE KID REPORTER, which is a short Diana told me she is very fond of. Pending the ava...

I just saw the DVD tonight and Peggy is wonderful. I hope that more of her short films will turn up in addition to the Circus Clowns and Miles of Smiles (Peggy as twins is particularly entertaining). In The Family Secret I was even more impressed with her performance, especially in the dramatic scen...

Flickr Alley is offering a one day sale on a MOD disk of two early Lon Chaney Films, Victory and A Wicked Darling . I'm not familiar with either of them, anyone have more information or have seen them? Thanks Both of them are very good films in which Chaney plays small but important character roles...

Yes, thanks for linking to that article Ben. It was great to read. I wonder if there will be any other of Baby Peggy's "lost" shorts coming to DVD?
