1. "The Big Clock" is a good one!

Charles Laughton!!

Highly recommend noir mystery.

2. "Prince and the Showgirl" listing missing its star

Marilyn Monroe stars as the Showgirl. Not sure why she wasn't Lusted.

4. They do that sometimes at TCM.

I'm not sure what the motivation is, but on occasion they take a few supporting players and put their names in place of the marquee ones. It's not actually an evil thing to do when the theme is Summer Under the Stars, and besides, shouldn't the supporting cast get the odd shout-out?

3. I like River of No Return. Also Dial M for Murder.
