Daytime April 8 Warner Comes of Age Wild Boys of the Road (Frankie Darro, Rochelle Hudson) (1933) Kings Row (Robert Cummings, Ann Sheridan) (1942) Goodbye, My Lady (Walter Brennan, Phil Harris) (1956) Splendor in the Grass (Warren Beatty, Natalie Wood) (1961) The Learning Tree (Kyle Johnson, Alex Clarke) (1969) Summer of '42 (Jennifer O'Neill, Gary Grimes) (1971) A Little Romance (Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane) (1979) Thanks for all of these post related to WB theme-based programming by TCM. While I might have a different mix of films I take my hat off to TCM for having these themes. E.g. For Warner Comes of Age, I wouldn't have Kings Row, but instead one of the Nancy Drew films that featured Bonita Granville and Frankie Thomas like Nancy Drew Trouble Shooter, where Nancy gets here first kiss. It appears Angels with Dirty Faces still has copyright issues, since this has to be one of WB most popular, coming of age films. |

Yeah, I noted the continued absence of Angels with Dirty Faces, which hasn't aired on TCM in something like 15 years (it's been a very long time since I've checked out MCOH's database, but something like that). It's in some kind of rights hell with the author (s), I guess, even though Warner Bros. in whatever its current incarnation is called (Warneer Discovery?) now owns TCM, I think. All the corportate mergers of the past 15 or 20 years are too much for me to keep an accurate memory of.
I "reviwed" Nancy Drew Troubleshooter recently in the I Just Watched thread, and based on what Ben Mankiewicz said in the intro, I reported that no such kiss exists in the movie as it was originally released. WB execs apparently got cold feet that it was a more mature look for Nancy than they wanted to promote and cut the scene just before release, although Ben said you can find that footage on YouTube. Perhaps you saw it there?

Perhaps you saw it there? I just wrote in another thread that the company is now Warner Media and they own TCM, the rights to WB films, CNN, and many other businesses, but that was incorrect! It is now Warner Bros. Discovery. But yea, there is a lot of confusion, related to who-owns-what with all the mergers, acquisitions, take-overs etc. of studios and the studio-era films they made in the last 2 decades. As for Troubleshooter; I was wrong there as well. I did see Ben's comments but forgot that the kissing scene was cut. Either way, having a Drew film as part of a coming-of-age tribute would have been great since Granville was my favorite WB teen actor of the 30s\early 40s. |
