HOW DO YOU RATE DAYTIME’S TALK SHOWS?
- Share via
Daytime talkshows survive when they generate loyalty among viewers. So we want to know which shows strike your fancy, day after day. From Oprah to Geraldo (below), Phil to Sally, Joan to Regis, what talk-show hosts do you tune in and which ones turn you off--and why?
Here are the responses to the July 29 question: What films would you like to see on television?
I would like to see “Hold Back the Dawn.” It was a 3-star picture made in 1941 starring Olivia de Havilland, Charles Boyer and Paulette Goddard.
It’s a love story that was shown often on TV during the late U50s and early ‘60s. It is one of my all-time favorite movies.
I’d also like to see uncut versions of “Some Like It Hot” and “The Apartment.” Mary Woldum, Buena Park
Hold Back the Dawn” occasionally is shown in late-late time slots on KTLA Channel 5.
Older is better.
The films I’d like to see, in order, are: “The Three Faces of Eve” (Joanne Woodward); “Imitation of Life” (Claudette Colbert); “Green Dolphin Street” (Lana Turner); “Lillian Russell” (Alice Faye); “Devotion” (Olivia de Havilland); “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” (Daniel Day Lewis); “In This House of Brede” (Diana Rigg), and “The Winter’s Tale” (Laurence Harvey).

Mark your calendar. KCAL has scheduled “The Three Faces of Eve” on Sept. 30.
Innumerable times, old movies with a World War II theme have been shown with William Holden, but the romantic themes seem to be ignored on TV.
Nancy Kwan’s interpretation of the sad little Hong Kong prostitute who fantasized that she came from a different world was very touching in “The World of Suzie Wong” with Holden.
I would love to see it again and so would friends and acquaintances.

Here are some movies I can’t get on video and would love to see: “Othello” (Laurence Olivier); “Interlude” (Oskar Werner); “Three Sisters” (Olivier); “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (Anthony Hopkins), and “The Secret Garden” (Gennie James).

What films would I like to see on television? Old science-fiction, anything made before 1950. I live in Newport Beach and while we have a couple of shopping channels, we don’t get (Rcan’t” get, the cable company assures me) American Movie Classics or The Movie Channel, which invariably have the best old science-fiction movies.
Last Halloween there were 14 movies I was aching to see and the cable networks available to me carried one of them. I was not pleased!
