Jezebel is a very good chick flick, well worth watching. Fort Apache is the best of the bunch, Fonda playing against type as a martinet post commander. Wayne and Ward Bond are very fine.
Siskel loved it, right?

That seems a little harsh. The movie was nominated for best picture and Henry Fonda won the Oscar for male leading role. We will have to agree to disagree.
Yes. We'll disagree. I thought Golden Pond was dumb. It was a pity Oscar.

I was thinking the same about 12 Angry Men but like the poster above said they may not have the rights to that.
If TCM was airing a month-long series on Henry Fonda pretty much all his notable films would be shown. Gregory Peck is this month’s TCM Star of the Month. This is just one morning and afternoon for Fonda.

Marilyn Monroe is the TCM Star of the Month for June. The Asphalt Jungle and The Misfits stand out for me. (I’ve seen Some Like it Hot too many times.) The Asphalt Jungle, dang, brilliant, John Huston directed, Sterling Hayden’s best role. Marilyn has a five-minute bit.

Kind of an odd choice since I really didnt think she did that many movies. Gun to head I could only name 2, The Misfits and Some Like it Hot. 🤷‍♂️

She made 25 movies where she got credited. Star of the Month runs about 32-40 hours, give or take, this would be 16-20 movies. She was a pain in the *** to work with, always late on set. I’ve read this story about her: when she heard that 20th Century Fox had agreed to a long-term contract she yelled, “Thank God, no more b!owjobs!”
