In an interesting development, Cole Porter's heirs have launched a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Irving Berlin's estate citing copyright infringement in...
Dear Dermot, I am so upset about this news. That the untalented, ne'er-do-wells, penny-pinching heirs of Cole Porter would dare do a thing like this!!! It's...
http://tinyurl.com/395w9a Am I missing something? I bring this link up and it is all about April Fools day. Where do I find the info on Cole Poter and Erving...
Well, I'm waiting for the Porter heirs to sue the estate of Schwartz and Dietz for "Make 'Em Laugh", which sure seems to be an awfully close copy of "Be A ...
... The supposed Cole Porter lyric is so obviously written as a parody of Cheek to Cheek that I didn't believe the story for one minute. It wasn't until I saw...

Yes. I love the story of Irving Berlin's visit to the "Singin' in the Rain" set, when they sat him down to hear and watch Donald O'Connor rehearse "Make 'Em...
Yes, Mr. Porter was probably too much of a gentleman...and too rich...and possibly hoping that Arthur Freed might do for his songs what AN AMERICAN IN PARIS...
Arthur Freed planned a Cole Porter catalogue picture, "Wonderland." Comden & Green said they wrote a wonderful script for "Wonderland," but it was never...
Some of the cast/production team share fond memories of working with Astaire on Battlestar Galactica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtDe0SfhmCs Dermot...
From the folks at "Talkin' Broadway": Added to July 24: Classic Musicals from the Dream Factory Vol. 2 (Warner - DVD set) Seven newly remastered MGM musicals:...
Now, that's exciting. Sounds like great extras. The "Ev'ry Night at Seven" outtake with Peter and Jane can be seen on TCM's website. I guess it was cut from...
I am really looking forward to a quality print of Royal Wedding...to see Fred leave his hat in Haiti in his butter-colored suit and pink shirt and matching...
Wow! Thanks for posting that link! It's so nice to hear people say nice things and have such fond memorie of Fred! He really must have been a joy to meet and...
Clearly I believe those voting on today's poll question on turnerclassicmovies.com has not seen the 2 Rita Hayworth/Fred Astaire movies. Cover Girl is getting...

Although I just "don't get it" with this show (to me, it's a throwback to Major Bowes), I would have enjoyed seeing Tony Bennett on the episode that Mrs....
Really digging TCM's lost RKO movies from 1933 with Ginger Rogers and William Powell, especially "Double Harness." The actress Ann Harding is a revelation....
Yes, I was also very taken with "Double Harness," with a slim and very handsome (if a bit callow) William Powell. I agree that Ann Harding was a very...

I just got The Band Wagon DVD. It is a two DVD set. I have not yet watched the second DVD yet but what I saw I loved. It is the same quality and extras as...
I was able to catch "Rafter Romance" but missed the other films. Ginger was very sexy in this little movie. Mr. Schmidlap's comment during the shower scene was...
And how about the scene right before Ginger gets in the shower: she takes off her suit jacket and is wearing only a scarf strategically covering her...
