Tomorrow morning TCM will be showing THE DIVINE LADY (1929)....I think for the first time in years?
As an aside, it's pretty cool to have a Marie Dressler day on TCM!

How long has Bruce been posting from S. Africa?

Must make it difficult to get to Cinecon every year.

Just since yesterday, since that's when I got here! I actually made a couple of posts from the British Airways lounge at Heathrow too. That's got to be some kind of doubious record.

Unfortunately, I forgot to set up my DVR to record The Divine Lady before I left.

You've got me beat.

I don't seem to travel beyond my local Scottsdale wateringhole.

I don't have a DVR and I don't use my VHS recorder either.

I'm certain, however, that some bootlegged version will show up online sooner or later.

I can't even receive that channel...

Did anyone record it at all?

It should show up online in a later date.

Yes, I recorded it. Although I already had a copy. I love Corinne Griffith, and wish more of her films would be discovered. The most beautiful actress of the Silent era, and highly underrated. Fantastic Western Electric scoring track. This film should be better known. I have only seen four of Corinne's surviving 10 films so far.

The last time TCM aired THE DIVINE LADY was clear back in 1997! I managed to get a copy from a guy who recorded in in Super VHS back than transfered to DVD-R a little over a year ago. I got it this time on the Hard-drive recorder. Now when is TCM going to finally repbroadcast Chaney's WHERE EAST IS EAST, with Lupe Velez?

Please Sir... Corinne Griffith, As Emma Hart, Not quite Yet Lady Hamilton. From Frank Lloyd's THE DIVINE LADY (First National, 1929).
