Oh, I also have TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME lined up on DVD. Since there is absolutely nothing on TV for me tonight, I should be able to fit all of these films in my viewing schedule.

I liked the LUCY dances more, DR MATTH, but I realize there is NOT an infinite variety of them.  With Disney I shall have to live.

Ah, two knowledgeable young men!

Do either of you (or anyone) have any idea why you can't find a copy of the 1945 Paulette Goddard film, KITTY?[/size]

Good morning, PennyO!  Has Ann caught up yet?

I am feeling rather uncomfortable this morning.

Don't know, DR TCB.

Mitchell Leisen directed Paramount comedy that should have passed through MCA/Universal hands for television.....  TCM is now showing titles from that library, so my guess is that it will show up there sooner or later.  Probably on Paulette Goddard OR Ray Milland's birthday....

Another Leisen effort that hasn't seen the light of day is THE MATING SEASON with a gem of a performance by Thelma Ritter and a sweet one by Gene Tierney.

Very interesting question, DR TCB. There are those rare A-class movies that have never received any video release at all - either on tape, laserdisc, or DVD. This is one of them. I've never read anything about there being rights issues. Betty Hutton's DREAM GIRL is another. Both of these were Paramount movies.

Ah, just thought of another Mitchell Leisen that hasn't had a video release - LADY IN THE DARK. It's another Paramount film, too!

Well, the sun is starting to make its presence known now, so I need to get things closed up so as not to lose the cool air I've forcefed my house during the past few hours.

I told Rose Marie we'd worked together but didn't get specific, because there's no way she would have remembered that show.

TOD - I heard a disc of more recent Petula Clark stuff in the not-too-distant past -- it was all French chanteuse stuff, and GREAT! Don't remember the title. But now I am curious to find it, and maybe I'll look for it. It was really fantastic, authentic.

I do love New York even when it's wet and humid. I went uptown this morning, arriving at the Broadhurst Theatre at 9:30am to find two people already waiting for the ticket office to open at 10:00am. I was Number 3 and as we waited, the line grew. By 10 o'clock there were 8 or 9 people. The first person, a student, tried to buy rush tickets but they only sell them Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so she settled for standing room. The gentleman in front of me bought two full price tickets for the evening performance and then I got my two standing room tickets for the matinee! Hooray. I'll be seeing History Boys at 2pm. By the time I left the window there were about 15 people on line and more joining.

I may run into former DR Jason who now works concessions at the Broadhurst. I won't get a free t-shirt but I will be able to say hello to him.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

Well, the rains have stopped.  It's still a bit gray and misty outside, but the temps have cooled down, and most of the subway trains are back on track - literally.  *Of course, since it's the weekend, the 1 is running skip stops heading uptown, so... In any case...
