										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m busy today preparing to hit the <a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/home/index">TCM Classic Film Festival</a>, which opens tonight in Hollywood, California with a gala screening of a digital restoration of the 1983 restoration of the 1954 &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/astar">A Star is Born</a>.&#8221; Also screening tonight is the 1931 Frank Capra obscurity, &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/dirigible">Dirigible</a>,&#8221; an underrated Howard Hawks science-fiction comedy starring Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, and a newcomer named Marilyn Monroe, &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/monekyBusiness">Monkey Business</a>&#8221; as well as an outdoor screening of 1949&#8217;s silly but fun (if memory serves) &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/neptune">Neptune&#8217;s Daughter</a>.&#8221; That one features swimmer turned musical comedy star Esther Williams alongside a very, very pre-Khan Ricardo Montalban and comedian Red Skelton. The cool part of this is that Ms. Williams, and a real-live water ballet, are included with the price of admission. (I should add that single entries for the fest are very much on the pricey side, starting at $20.00. Students get in for half-price, so I suggest enrolling quickly.)</p>
<p>That&#8217;s just tonight. Below are trailers for a some shows I&#8217;m personally looking forward to catching. We&#8217;ll start with the closing night screening of probably the most significant film of the festival, the new and finally fully restored version of the original science fiction extravaganza, Fritz Lang&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/metropolis" target="_blank">Metropolis</a>.&#8221; (I&#8217;m slightly bummed to see this, like &#8220;A Star is Born&#8221; will be screened digitally. Assuming that celluloid prints of the new version exist, which may or may not be the case, that&#8217;s really how it should be shown.)</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="477" height="398" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7j8Ba9rWhUg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="477" height="398" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7j8Ba9rWhUg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>More after the flip.</p>
<p><span id="more-23015"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not perfect, but it&#8217;s still one of my favorite movies-about-movies, 1980&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/stunt">The Stunt Man</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="477" height="398" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BesLJgU0ZBs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="477" height="398" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BesLJgU0ZBs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>And what self-respecting film geek can miss a little known 1956 western ripe for rediscovery? &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/jubal" target="_blank">Jubal</a>&#8221; was directed by Delmer Daves (the original &#8220;3:10 to Yuma&#8221;) and starred Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine (who&#8217;ll be in attendance, we&#8217;re told) and newcomers Rod Steiger and Charles Bronson, the actor formerly known as Charles Buchinsky.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="477" height="398" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3cQ38DsxS4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="477" height="398" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3cQ38DsxS4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>This trailer has been cropped, but thankfully the version we&#8217;ll be seeing tomorrow won&#8217;t be. Widescreen and glorious celluloid, ahhh.</p>
<p>And, finally, a &#8220;major restoration&#8221; of a British 1962 sci-fi classic I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever actually seen, &#8220;<a href="http://www.tcm.com/festival/?sicontent=0&amp;sicreative=4710346120&amp;siclientid=2375&amp;sitrackingid=136363517#/films/triffids" target="_blank">The Day of the Triffids</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="477" height="298" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q8B_NcamuKQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="477" height="298" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q8B_NcamuKQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Will I really get hot, when I see Janette Scott, fight a triffid that shoots poison and kills? You&#8217;ll have to ask me about that later.</p>
