TCM has been showing films starring Leslie Howard during the month of July.
Very obscure BERKELEY SQUARE and OUTWARD BOUND have been shown.
Have also been able to catch up with the Garbo version of THE PAINTED VEIL, which is very different from recent remake.
TCM has been showing a lot of obscure films, and continues to do so, though sometimes at odd, early-morning hours....

TARZAN MOVIE MARATHON IS COMING-on Friday August 3rd TCM will be having an all day Tarzan movie marathon, showing no less then 12 of the films out of that long lasting series which started in the early 30's and lasted into the late 60's.Basically the earlier efforts from the 30's and the 40's will be shown, sorry guys no Bo Derek here.Yes many of the films that will be shown have not been on cable in many a year, some more recent then others , i like when TCM does these marathons, they did one for Sherlock Holmes in December, 2010, it gives a movie fan a chance to tape the whole bunch, be it on video tape or DVD, some people just can't lay out the big bucks to get many of these films on DVD. Yes, you will though find many Tarzan films on YOU TUBE however, here , in order are the films in TCM'S marathon[wish TCM would have at least one marathon every month]---------------------------------TARZAN AND THE MERMAIDS-48-TARZAN AND THE HUNTRESS-47-TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD WOMAN-46 TARZAN AND THE AMAZONS-45-TARZAN'S DESERT MYSTERY-43-TARZAN TRIUMPHS-43-TARZAN'S NEW YORK ADVENTURE-42-TARZAN'S SECRET TREASURE-41-TARZAN FINDS A SON-39-[SPECIAL] TARZAN , SILVER SCREEN, KING OF THE JUNGLE-2004-TARZAN THE APE MAN-32-TARZAN AND HIS MATE-34- TARZAN ESCAPES-36---------------ENJOY.

"Tarzan And The Mermaids" was the only film in the series scored by Dimitri Tiomkin.

Catch TARZAN AND THE MERMAIDS, if only for a masterful Tiomkin score. Roughly the first 20 minutes are wall-to-wall, gorgeous, vintage Tiomkin, with a few effective setpieces later.
Silva recorded a short suite from this on a Tiomkin compilation, but it really doesn't catch the same verve as the original tracks....

Cable network THIS often will show obscure films in their lineup of films, in August a few of their obscure films are MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI-79-1979 was not a good year for major film sequels, Beyond the Posiden adventure, airport 79, concorde and others bombed out at the B.O, this sequel to the smash hit American graffiti in 73, also basically came and went, after a network showing this effort has not gotten too much exposure the past 30 years in syndication or on cable.----------------------------THE SEAGULL-68- Is a basically obscure film with Vanassa Redgrave based on Chekhov, film has barely ever been shown on free TV or cable or network TV.--------OUT OF IT-69- is a small obscure film starring Jon Vought, the year he hit the paydirt with Midnight cowboy-69-barely any TV exposure for over four decades.Although THIS, style is alot different then TCM they do dig out very hard to find films in their package.

On THIS- THE WICKED DREAMS OF PAULA SCHULTZ-68-is being shown these months, this wacky comedy got shown on the CBS network in the 70's , but has been very rare on TV, since THIS picked it up this year.

On TCM this Saturday is the rare RETURN OF PETER GRIMM-1935-For genre fans it has been a challenge to find every genre film they can find and hopefully see, when it comes to SOUND films , there are not many films that are really lost in the Horror SCIFI genre, with silent films it is another story, but with sound feature lenght genre films, the few that are still under suspicion that they maybe lost are rare, of that bunch 90% are of the early to mid 30's, this film with Lionel Barrymore , once was thought to be lost, interesting little film and barely ever on TV.

On THIS these days is MANCHU EAGLE MURDER CAPER-75-A film that got very limited release and was sought of what one would call a tax write off film, as obscure as it was in it's theatrical release is as obscure it has been for the past 37 years on TV, but good old THIS has dug it out [i salute THIS AND TCM] if you like cheesy comic crime capers with one of the best gunfight scenes in history check it out.

Just a reminder folks, for those who want to see how a classic like The magnificent seven-60-got some of it's fine ideas which help make it a western classic, CHECK OUT TCM MARATHON OF JAPAN'S SAMURAI FILMS ON AUGUST 9TH, FOR ANY FILM LOVER AND FILM HISTORIAN IT IS EDUCATIONAL.

I'd love to see that one again. Not a great flick by any measure, but an amusing romp to be sure.
