Primetime June 2 Night One of the Month-Long Summer Camp Theme. I'm a little fuzzy about how this theme works. The TCM website no longer seems to talk about anything that's happening on the network until the month it's happening actually begins, so there's zero information there. Maybe it will be clearer to me if it becomes an annual thing (I think it's happened before, but it's not embedded in my long-term memory like other annual network events). It's not a youngster-oriented thing, it doesn't look like, judging from the lineup, which one might assume from the concept of a summer camp. Looks simply mostly like films that are intended to be fun viewing, or that have become fun viewing despite original intent, like the "mondo melodramas" night.
Okay, anyway, the sub theme of the first night is early tongue-in-cheek humor.
She Done Him Wrong (Mae West, Cary Grant) (Paramount, 1933)
The Women (Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford) (MGM, 1939)
The Gang's All Here (Alice Faye, James Ellison) (20th Century Fox, 1942)
The Importance of Being Earnest (Michael Denison, Edith Evans) (Dist. in the US by Universal, 1952)
Auntie Mame (Rosalind Russell, Roger Smith) (Warner Bros., 1958)
Pillow Talk (Doris Day, Tony Randall) (Universal, 1959)

THE GANG'S ALL HERE is a real fun one. The musical tunes with Alice Faye are nicely done. Plus Carmen Miranda has a show-stopping number that has to be seen to be believed.
I watched it once before on TCM. I always try to seek out Fox films airing on the network, rare as they are. I don't have Fox Movie Channel on my cable lineup. I looked up the title on IMDB to get some info for my post and was surprised to see it was available on MGM+, however. Sounds like somehow Warner Discovery must own the rights, which would explain its occasional airing on TCM. I like the flirtation between Miranda and nervous Nellie Edward Everett Horton. And, as I recall, the final number is Berkely taking his surrealism to its extremes.

I love "Angles in the Outfield," as it combines two of may favorite things, baseball and romcoms. Plus, Douglas and Leigh have great chemistry in this one. TCM's run it a bunch recently (I'm sure they "leased" it for a period of time, so they show it a lot) and, darn it, I have to force myself not to watch it if I have work that has to get done; otherwise, I sit there like an idiot watching this relatively lightweight movie for the umpteenth time. I 2nd your comments. I also enjoy the fact that TCM is showing a really nice print of the film - it looks great in HD now. The baseball scenes make me feel like I've gone back in time and can see what a game at the stadium was like during this period. |

The neighbor lady gave me a special edition book she had collected which was all about Alice Faye. It was not a biography per se, it was more a look at individual films with notes about the productions. All the photos were in black and white, and by reading that particular book, it is where I learned about such classics like IN OLD CHICAGO, ROSE OF WASHINGTON SQUARE, LILLIAN RUSSELL, HELLO FRISCO HELLO, FALLEN ANGEL and of course THE GANG'S ALL HERE.
A few years later I upgraded to a cable tier that had the Fox Movie Channel and only then, did I start watching these wonderful gems. And of course, I could see why my neighbor was such a fan of Alice Faye.
A few things the book said about Alice Faye...in 1940, she made $157,000. I am guessing this was a combination of earnings from film and her recordings. Another thing is that she grew up in Hell's Kitchen in poverty, and she was forced to drop out of school after eighth grade to start working. She found a job in vaudeville and by age 16 was dancing on Broadway. She made her first film at 19.

Daytime June 5 Genre Change Remakes I had to re-read that carefully and make sure it wasn't GENDER change. Turning a gangster drama into a Western and a talky comedy into a musical. The Women already airs just three days earlier as part of the Summer Camp spotlight on early tongue-in-cheek humor, so just five days into the month, it becomes the first non-Noir Alley feature to air twice in June.
The Women (Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford) (MGM, 1939)
High Sierra (Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart) (Warner Bros., 1941)
Colorado Territory (Joel McCrea, Virginia Mayo) (Warner Bros., 1949)
The Opposite Sex (June Allyson, Joan Collins) (MGM, 1956)
