This morning, Sunday, as I write this....the Western "The Deperado's", which started about a 40 minutes ago or so....Glenn, Randolph Scott, Claire Trevor and Evelyn Keyes is the first of six films TCM will be showing today!




Then, at 12:30pm (3:30pm-Eastern) we have "Teahouse Of The August Moon" a wonderful picture with a very young talented Marlon Brando, as well as G.F.....another 'do not miss this film'.....this was a Broadway play before Columbia Pictures bought it and it became a vehicle for dear Glenn Fors.

And last, but not least, at 2:45pm (5:45pm-Eastern) we have "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father" with a very young Ron Howard and a lovely Shirley Jones.....
So there you have it 12 hours of dear wonderful Glenn Ford....and if you only have time for one of these films....make it "Gilda"....that was the 'I-fell-in-love-with-Glenn-Ford-picture....' or for many it is the 'I-fell-in-lust-with-Rita-Hayworth-picture....
Just watch it, okay?
Thank you Turner Classics for honoring this wonderful actor today...as most of you will remember he died about 12 days ago and this is a terrific way to honor him.....Enjoy!
My dad is probably in the den watching right now. I've been in bed with a stomach bug today...gee, I hate to be nauseated.

Only now I see this post.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Many great movies to see again! Love the first photo, he looks very charming!
How lovely. You know I discovered an indie video store and they have all kinds of B&W films, categorized by actor. I might be able to get up to speed on cinema. They don't have any memorbilia from him that I saw but props and costumes from a lot of movies as decorations.
ReplyDeleteoh darn, forgot to say Michele sent me.
