Thanks. I don't have Bulldog Drummond At Bay (1947).
-
thanks for looking ahead to June. More than half of these movies i haven't seen and will be looking forward to taping as much as possible ;D

Years ago I saw "Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back", which is an older movie in the series from 1934. Ronald Colman plays Drummond in that film, and it co-stars Warner Oland as a sinister Asian Prince. I may have even taped it on VHS, so it's possibly in my basement somewhere on an unlabeled cassette. I have never again see this Drummond film on any of the old movie cable channels. Is it currently unavailable? It certainly isn't a "lost film", but maybe copies are scarce. Has anyone else seen this film?
-
Yes, I have seen Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back (1934) with Ronald Colman and it is one of my favourite detective series films. It is not available for TV broadcasting/viewing due to copyright matters...anyway, as I recall it was available for purchase for a time on DVD from Sinister Cinema in Oregon but no longer seems available from them....Chris Ellis

I'm not sure why, but Bulldog Drummond Strikes Back (1934) is available online at dailymotion.

Yeah, it's a Superb idea to have a thread to Update Mystery Movies upcoming on TCM. Without this regular information,
some of us would surely Miss some of these movies.
Keep it rolling for us. We can use the monthly update assistance.

08:00pm Dark Alibi (1946)
09:15pm Dangerous Money (1946)
a couple of 'Falcon' movies follow
-
great catch. I had only looked as far as sept 5th the other day. I really believe that tcm will show charlie chan films if requested, but i don't think there is enough of a fan base to put in the requests?
;D
-
Actually, TCM has been selling a small Chan movie collection that includes these titles recently. ...Ed K.

This looks like a great month us on TCM. Tonight they're airing a few W.C. Fields movies, including his very best, It's A Gift, and The Bank Dick. Then they'll be running some Agatha Christie titles, including And Then There was None, and it's color remake, 10 Little Indians. Besides the Chan movies, there are more Bulldog Drummonds, Falcons, and the wonderful Phantom of Crestwood. I recommend going to the TCM.com website and pulling up the monthly schedule to get complete descriptions, dates, starting times, etc. ...Ed K.
-
it does look like a good month for movies. I actually watched Bulldog for the first time this past saturday.
thank you

According to TCM's movie guide, the movie Bulldog Drummond will be shown tonight, Thursday, Jan. 7th, at 7:00 pm CST. Many Chan fans are probably also Drummond enthusiasts. This movie's last TCM showing appears to have been last June.
Please bring your own popcorn.

when they came out last time; i was able to tape/record all of them. the first couple took a little bit to get used to them; but the series grew on me as i went along.
thank you for the update

Today at 11:45 CST, TCM showed the 1934 movie Mandalay, which featured Kay Francis as the determined heroine. A menacing character who tried to control her, Nick, was ably played by our Warner Oland. His character spoke like Charlie Chan would later speak, but in this film he was definitely a "bad guy."
It was interesting to see how Oland essayed this role a few years before he played our friend Charlie Chan.
-
Actually, Oland had portrayed Charlie Chan at least 4 times before he played Nick in Mandalay. Three of these movies are among the 4 that are considered "lost", but, we've seen him do his Chan thing as early as 1931, in The Black Camel. I meant to give everyone a heads up on Mandalay, but, I goofed and let it slip by. It was great to see him as Dr. Yogami in The Werewolf of London, on Svengoolie's show a few days back. ...Ed K.

Ed, thank you for the correction about the Oland-as-Chan chronology. You've got a good memory and a sharp eye. Please continue to help us keep our facts straight.
