BTW, Warners reissued FORCE OF ARMS as A GIRL FOR JOE to once again capitalize on FAREWELL when Selznick produced his remake with Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones.
Gee - I guess it's time for Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Rachel Weisz to do another remake, no?

FAREWELL was reissued by Warner Bros. in the early 50's. They acquired it when they remade it as FORCE OF ARMS. They replaced the Paramount titles with Warner titles (not just the logo). I don't remember specifically, but they may very well have augmented the soundtrack. TCM has run the original Par...

A friend of mine who was formerly with NBC and then went to Universal had a 16mm print of this show. It was the only time I saw an actual film print with these shots from FANTASIA. My print is from the 50th Anniversary release, which re-framed those shots cutting out the pickaninnies but at least le...

Monty Banks "Play Safe"
Does PLAY SAFE survive as a feature or just as the cut-down CHASING CHOO CHOOS? I ran DAYS OF THRILLS AND ADVENTURES tonight and was reminded about the thrilling chase with Banks.

RKO agreed to return all story rights to Warners, and to destroy all negatives and prints of the new version (again, except for one library print). A similar agreement was executed for Sunny . I have a 16 print of SUNNY. It's quite enjoyable and Neagle is charming. IRENE made it into the C&C packag...

Cow cow boogie - is that Ella Fitz or Ella Mae Morris? "Cow Cow Boogie" was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald for the Universal Picture RIDE 'EM COWBOY. But it was dropped before release (I have a Universal playback disc). Ella Mae Morse recorded the tune for Capitol in 1942. It was a BIG hit. It finally...

I finally watched CONFESSION Friday night. First time. Quite amazing with a really outstanding musical score. The film had one very, very serious drawback. Casting Ben Welden as the defense attorney. He was the only performer in the cast that didn't ring true. With all the great continental actors a...
