The entire sequence with Suzanne comforting her big sister Julia- and being all 'Scarlett O'Hara'- are some of the best moments of this series.

I fondly remember the pilot of L&C, and was immediately struck by the witty, lightly comic presentation of this costume montage. And many of L&C's best scenes were Clark interacting w/his adopted folks- especially Ma Kent, played by Katherine 'K' Callan- the warmest, wittiest mom anyone could ha...

Made great use of her long legs!! Do it, doc!!

I forgot how beautiful this woman was, and is. The bows at the end with her teary smiles are breathtaking.

This is lovely. Every time I think I've seen all of Astaire, I get another wonderful YT surprise. He had a whole other career on live-to-tape television with all these spectaculars he did with Barrie Chase and the special magic generated by these duets is timeless. And he's an amazing, ageless 65...

Platinum...absolutely platinum. Never saw this television tribute, am so glad to know that both of these legends of tap did it together at least once. And what a moment of anticipation- the moment you see the close-up at 7:05 of Mr. Davis putting on his tap loafers, audience members are already s...

@Treemeadow That was the BRILLIANT punch line of a long series of blackouts where the other Laugh-In ladies all came up to Garner and actually say, "Mr. Garner, I'm a big fan, and I'd like to shake your hand." Then they pull a surprise lip-lock on him instead. So by the time Chelsea Brown comes ...

Hot shoes- both pair.

Beautiful shoes.

Love to watch her display those spectacularly long legs in the spiral sequences.

gorgeous shine on those laceups.

Betty was always considered one of the good guys...friendly, humble, humorous, etc. And lovely to see her here (in here late 40s, I'm guessing) still charming, either about to embark or currently in the latest revival of "Dolly," still displaying million-dollar gams under a respectable suit and g...

"Where Do Broken Hearts Go," "One Moment in Time," "Didn't We Almost Have it All," and "I Believe in you and me--" all these titles have a new resonance today. And this title came fairly late in the Houston hit-making machine- but it's probably my favorite, because of its magical soar. Wish she h...

So many of Ms. Houston's song titles seem to symbolize the confusion and sadness of today..."Where Do Broken Hearts Go," "One Moment in Time," "Didn't We Almost Have it All," and this one. This may be my favorite Whitney song- and it's all because of the 1:21 key change on "I Believe in Miracles...

Wow- this is hot.

3:00-9:00- many wonderful scenes from ONE film: (1) Marilyn and Jane don't walk, they STRUT into that dining room, all kinds of hot and gorgeous!! (2) Meeting Mr. Henry Spofford III ("old enough to appreciate a good-looking girl when I see one"), and (3) the dialogue between sassy Dorothy ("no on...

Wow. I remember this "LIFE Goes to the Movies" documentary, 1977-ish.

I haven't seen this since it originally came on television- now more than thirty years ago. The very end of the 'Marilyn Said...' tribute always made me tear up. Thank you for bringing this back again.

Absolutely love these boot-shoes.

MEEEEE!!!

"As you wish...." - Peter Falk.

I love how TCM's year-end memorials are always beautiful, stand-alone music videos. And it's impossible not to watch these and begin to cry midway through. (Farley, Harry, Jane, Cliff, Sidney Lumet, Arthur Laurents- OMG.) And the placement of Elizabeth Taylor AT T...

Wonder why this isn't re-issued on DVD. I must've caught the very last sale of it back in the 90's, It was a very good (and affordable) DVD, with one or two small scenes 'restored' to the video. The only thing it didn't include was the animation of the very first NBC peacock, which was always pla...

That dress belongs in a production of 'Cinderella.'

@TheJamile speaking of 'Glee,' how cool would it be to see Heather Morris (Brittany) and Harry Shum (Mike) re-create this dance? They'd rock!!

Ultra-smooth.

The colors in that gorgeous Todd A-O picture are amazing- and of course, the flamenco dancing of Jose Greco is sublime. A great scene.

Thank you for this...it was always fun to watch Ms. Carlisle's entrances on TTTT. She was the Loretta Young of the 1970's- awesome!!

Great ankleboots.

You know what makes this special? The inclusion of the first 3 seconds which show the original CBS logo...this is the design BEFORE the iconic 'eye,' and from a time the announcer still ID'd the station as "the Columbia Broadcasting System." A true time capsule. Thank you.

Happy birthday indeed, Ms. Rainer- going strong at 102 today!! People nowadays like to scoff at the telephone scene in TGZ- implying it wasn't Oscar-worthy and so forth- but it still packs a punch, especially around the 8:59 mark. The woman has the most incredibly large, dark eyes- like shining o...

A great plot-enhancing number, because it is the only time in the film the three girls of the film's title perform together: black-haired Hedy (white dress), auburn Judy (Christmas tinsel), and strawberry blond Lana (last one descending stairs). This is their opening night as new Ziegfeld contrac...

Always loved this final scene of FMAMG. The moment Judy spots Gene Kelly, Berkley does a marvelous zoom-in, and her eyes positively sparkle with surprise. Great acting, directing, and a pivotal transition film which put Judy in 'adult' films forever after.

Love those smooth socks.

J&M's are absolutely beautiful-- and shine like crazy!!

I love that the musical communication with the mothership turns into a kind of symphony, and eventually everyone just leaves them alone to speak their musical language- some even moved to laughing at how pleasant and organized it all is. A wonderful sequence.

Those shoes- combined w/the double grips- are hard to beat.

"TRIMLINE!!"

Love the new, wider angle which shows off the rest of your work ensemble as well as the shoes and socks. Hope it is the first of many. And Merry Christmas to you also.

Turns from just a charming interview to a magical moment when Miss M. begins a a'cappella "Rainy Day" and Mr C. nonchalantly joins in, followed very quietly by the piano. And suddenly, the audience is hushed, the camera zooms in, and there isn't a dry eye in the house. And on only a 90-second cli...

I love their embrace at the end- he seems genuinely moved, almost collapsed, and she is embracing him and holding him up more than the other way around- followed by a buddy-like handshake and kiss on the hand. Sweet.

6:56-- WHY NOT, DAINTY JUNE?!!"

Absolutely hilarious...and the look on Leigh Ann Larkin's face (as if to say, "really?"), as well as that entire closing speech is hysterical. The first time I ever saw a truly droll portrayal of June-as-adolescent-knowing this-act is terrible. Just great.

This is lovely. I appreciate the fact that, although the film dares to reboot Astaire & Rogers' ROBERTA, it smartly re-stages this number: as opposed to a stage performance at the climax of a fashion show, it shows the Champions falling in love in a French cafe. (Note the little magic effect at 0...

The period when Judy was a true goddess- absolutely smashing!!

The only time she closed the JG show with one of her guests. How appropriate the it was Liza- their chemistry together and pure joy here was off the charts!!

@ciroalb3 I was quoting both TCM and dance critic Arlene Croce's book on the A-R partnership. She wrote thus: "Toward the end of "Never Gonna Dance," (director George Stevens) attempts a daring crane shot, but then cuts to a stationary angle at the top of the stairs. It may have been one of the ...

I think they're called 'culottes,' a kind of wide-legged short that looks like a skirt from a distance. The cut is more pronounced in the first half of the dance (not seen here) when they dance Spanish-style to "Paris Loves Lovers" in a kind of Spanish pavilion. They both sink to their knees- but...
