Want to see a pre-Felix Unger Tony Randall? The channel-to-end-all-channels — Turner Classic Movies — is revamping its schedule on Monday 5/24. From 6 AM until 8 PM, TCM will screen The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Alphabet Murders (in which Randall plays Agatha Christie’s detective extraordinaire, Hercule Poirot), The Mating Game (playing the romantic comedy lead opposite Debbie Reynolds), Boys’ Night Out, and the two most famous of his Rock Hudson/Doris Day collaborations, Pillow Talk and Send Me No Flowers. If you’ve never seen it, set the DiVo/TiVo/VCR/whatever for Pillow Talk. Kitsch-factor not-withstanding, it’s well worth it.

Out of Focus 
Great to have you back — you’ve been missed.
Thanks for the info on the TR festival. Wished they were showing No Down Payment — the best role I’ve ever seen him in, and the most unlikely as well.
Still, 7 Faces is a lot of fun, and he really hams it up in Alphabet Murders.
