Should we all chip in and buy a copy for Miss Merrivale?Decotodd wrote:Cross-posted from the silent threads, but know that "Golden Dawn" has many "admirers" in the forum and it is one of a a number of early musical (1929/1930) Warner Archive releases yesterday.
The last time I definitely remember seeing It's a Great Life on TCM was July or August 1997, and I'm pretty sure "Sailing on a Sunbeam" wasn't there. In October of that year, Nick Langdon wrote on AMS: "We were able to see [at UCLA] a pristine 35mm reel of the previously missing "Sailing On A Sunbeam" number from IT'S A GREAT LIFE as well as most of FOLLOW THRU. By the way, the Sunbeam number is almost completely restored now and should be sent to TCM to be added back to the TV print soon. So the next time that film is aired you should tape it because you WON'T want to miss THAT number."BixB wrote:Nice to see the early talkie musicals that were recently released. I always felt that RIO RITA would have been an excellent choice when MGM/UA released their DAWN OF SOUND sets on LD years ago. Does anyone know if "Sailin' On A Sunbeam" has be reinstated into IT'S A GREAT LIFE? Whenever TCM ran it the number was missing. Yet they would show the number as a One Reel Wonder or From The Vaults installment.
I'm certain that my copy was from a later broadcast (although I couldn't say exactly when) and the number was still missing.Harold Aherne wrote:The last time I definitely remember seeing It's a Great Life on TCM was July or August 1997, and I'm pretty sure "Sailing on a Sunbeam" wasn't there.

Anyone know if it's been aired since?

A modest amount of alcohol and/or weed may also help.Richard P. May wrote:Dennis,

Modesty and Golden Dawn can not coexist. Go for the gusto or don't go there at all.precode wrote:A modest amount of alcohol and/or weed may also help.Richard P. May wrote:Dennis,
