I can't help but notice you left off The Greatest Show on Earth (on tonight), which I bravely fessed up to liking on some other thread. That movie and Naked Prey leave me feeling seriously disturbed about Cornel Wilde.

 

[Feraud]

The exclusion was not intentional but I am glad to see someone is watching.
The Naked Prey was distubing? How so? I assume everyone enjoys seeing grown half naked men running for their lives.

I think after seeing Wilde in turquoise sequined tights, that loincloth just gave me the killing blow. Talk about kicking a gal when she's down! I was rather relieved to see him fully dressed and hatted in The Big Combo

I was about to post almost the identical message & list!, thanks for sharing that info with us Feraud :eusa_clap

I would add this one, an apparently not-very-well-known movie , but the synopsis reads like the best I've seen in some time on TCM for post-WWII-suspense :

Eastern Standard date/time:

02-27-2007
----------
6:15am - 8:15am: Watch On The Rhine (1943) Sara and Kurt Muller and their three children are returning to her mother's home in Washington DC after 18 years in Europe. A Romanian Count living there discovers Kurt's attache case full of money. He also finds out from friends at the German Embassy that Kurt is working with an anti-Nazi underground group in Germany... Cast: Bette Davis, Paul Lukas, Lucile Watson. Dir: Herman Shumlin. BW-114 mins


Dashiell Hammett is in the writing credits on IMDB, another plus.

One friend who had seen this told me, if you like the following movies which I do, you'd like this one:
(Ingrid Bergman: Notorious; Bogey & Bacall: To Have and Have Not; Orson Welles: The Stranger - which incidentally is also coming on)

Unavailable on DVD...

You know, if TCM ever goes the way of AMC I think I'm just going to cry.
