Thank for posting this list, TopBilled. It is rather surprising how many big names are on that one time only list. Obviously they have to factor in how many of those movies they have the right to air.I seem to remember one of their "Backlot" perks was to vote on star of the month.

Colbert would be a good Star of the Month again. TCM should just work their way through the one time wonders and they'd have their programming set for a few years! I remember somebody at the old TCM forum campaigning for Joan Bennett. Throw her on that list, too.

According to me records the last time Colbert was SOTM was March 2005. I'm one of the people that was campaigning for Joan Bennett SOTM. The theory is that she has never been selected, since she was under contract with Fox for much of her career and TCM has "issues" with leasing films from that studio.

Most of the repeated stars that are featured as SOTM were under contract with Turner studies (MGM, WB, RKO), or were independents (e.g. Cary Grant).

Good point, jamesjazzguitar. It does seem strange that movies that are 50, 60, 70 years old should be so hard for TCM to get the rights to show.

I agree and it drives me nuts in a what-are-they(Fox in this case)-waiting-for way? While anything is possible, the odds are these movies aren't going to become massive more valuable years from now if you keep them off the market now, so just put a reasonable rental price on them and take in some money.
