Tomorrow, Sunday, October 21st, TCM is showing both Max Fleischer animated classics, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (1939), and HOPPITY GOES TO TOWN (1941), followed by an hour's worth of classic UPA cartoons, such as the original GERALD McBOINGBOING, THE UNICORN IN THE GARDEN, and several others, from the early 1900's.
Both GULLIVER and HOPPITY (which was originally titled MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN), have been in the public domain for years, with middling quality in the prints, and it is to be hoped that the prints shown by TCM will be of high quality.
BTW: as many of you know, GULLIVER has a wonderful background score by Victor Young, with some lovely orchestral interludes, not all of which were included on the Stromberg/Morgan re-recording.
They are both well worth watching.

Damn I had these on my calendar for months and totally forgot to watch these.

On Friday, November 9th, from 2 PM to 4 PM the THIS Channel will be running "The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown," starring Jane Russell. This 1957 film was produced by Jane Russell's own production company, which she owned with her husband Robert Wakefield. In her autobiography, Russell stated that director Norman Taurog, who had made a number of films with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, had tried to interest Martin in playing the role of "Mike," which was eventually played by Ralph Meeker.
"The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown" has only appeared on video as an Amazon-exclusive VHS tape. Perhaps it will eventually show up on an MOD DVD-R from the MGM Limited Edition Collection, but for now, this showing is one of the rare chances to see it.
Copies of Billy May's score are still available on a Kritzerland CD:

More obscure stuff from THIS in December is QUEEN OF BLOOD-66- starring JOHN SAXON, pretty neat low budget effort which has not been on cable in about 10 years. It's all part of THIS getting around to showing their large package of AIP films.Still waiting for some AIP films that have not been on cable for decades like I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF-57- I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKFURTER[SORRY FRANKENSTEIN] 57- DERANGED -75- SEIZURE-75, LOADS MORE
