Just a reminder that tomorrow would have been Robert Newton's 102nd birthday. To celebrate, if you're in the UK, you can catch the Long John Silver movie on Life that very day (and the next day and the next day ...).

Meanwhile back in the States, for those of you who've been having trouble finding the 1954 version of "The Beachcomber," good news: It's airing on TCM at midnight on (technically) Sunday, June 10, but most of us would probably consider that still Saturday night (the 9th). Sooner or later all these things come around again! (Almost makes up for the dearth of other RN movies this month.)

BTW, all you folks who've voted in the poll to keep this minimalist message board going ... why aren't you posting? (If you need a password or forgot yours, just e-mail me.) :-)

[> Subject: Jamaica Inn
Author: Susan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 03:47:14 06/09/07 Sat Just noticed that Jamaica Inn will be shown on TCM (US) at 6:15 Eastern time--it's listed at 105 minutes. I wonder if that's because it'll be a more complete version than the 98-minute one we've been discussing or if the extra time will be taken up by trivia from Robert Osborne. Tune in and see!
