Fora couple of years they showed silents from 10 pm to 2 am. On Sunday night/Monday morning.

I do. It's on TCM usually starting about midnight Sunday, "Sunday Silents" They now show them most of the morning. Especially shorts with Chevy Chase, Fatty Arbucle, Marion Davis, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keyton..........

don't forget Heckle and Jeckle

and they'd drive those used cars around in a circle while the
guy talked about them. The Tarzan movies were uncut, too.
Remember how they'd rip people into on those poles the
split apart?

It was always the native bearers that got the pole treatment. I guess the tribes thought that the bearers were "Toms" for carrying the white man's baggage. Also, every Tarzan besides Johnny Weissmuller sucked. JW had the greatest yell. Can you remember how awful Buster Crabbe's and the other Tarzan's yells were?

Did you know that the "Yell" for Weismueller was three different people at the same time?.....How about when Maureen O'hare was completely naked swimming with Tarzan and it was not Censored...That's a true one also....

If you enjoy the "Mummy" films, TCM is running them now through midnight

Naked? Ick! She'd be 99 this year. Good grief!

She was saving herself for John Wayne

Do you feel the same way about Marilyn Monroe? She would be 84 now.

Not if I'm watching the Seven Year Itch. For some reason I
can't think much of anything else.

No woman can resist Rachmaninoff! That's why I'm married!

You are both confused. Maureen O'Sullivan played Jane, and was naked or very nearly so in the pre-code "Tarzan the Ape Man".

Maureen O'Hara was the Duke's better half in "McClintock"

Don't tell me I don't know what I confused about. John Wayne never played Tarzan in nothing more that his sexual fantasies. I have also read that that "Duke" and J. Edgar Hoover were a very hot item through the years.

I always thought it was Rock Hudson and J. Edgar Hoover

No,no,no.. Rock Hudson and Sal Mineo. In fact, James Dean and Sal became such an item that Rock Hudson had Dean's sabotaged to get him out of the way.

[ljbab728]

Since we've been talking about Tarzan movies, did anyone notice that "Boy" passed away recently? Johnny Sheffield, who played Boy in 8 Tarzan movies died a few days ago at the age of 79.

Cheetah is 78 and still alive--as far as I can find out. Outlived them all. Vegetarian diet must figure in somehow...

There used to be some *really sordid* stories about Dean from the old locals in Hollywood area...the old broads who never quite made it in the movies but still hung out at Musso and Frank's on Hollywood Blvd...the ones who 'claim' to have been around in those days...fun place to go to mingle with the old Hollywood crowd, mostly old alcoholics...good food there though!

Kinda bored so read up on Cheetah... There were over 10 "Cheetahs" and yes a couple are still alive. Like the one in the later "Tarzan" tv show with Ron Ely. What's amazing is the one you're referring to I guess that starred in some 12 Weissmuller films(30-40's) that went by Cheetah Mike was still alive in 2009. I guess a useless factoid but I loved the old Tarzan movies at least the Weissmuller ones.
