It's highly likely that they reused that joke and just changed the name of the movie.

Nope. It's definitely "The Eddy Duchin Story"

From "Space Ship Sappy"

Fearing for his life, Joe exclaims, "I don't wanna die! I can't die! I haven't seen The Eddy Duchin Story, yet!

Exactly. I don't recall the name of the short but I believe Larry says that regarding "The Jolson Story." God, why do I remember these things!???

Apparently it’s from Squareheads of the Round Table.

IMO, Eddy Duchin Story sounds funnier.

[Doc Moonlight]

Well, to be fair, "Space Ship Sappy" is from the Joe Besser era, so I can be forgiven for never having seen it.

That was quick, I just received my SAE order today.

Lucky. I ordered the first day from TT and I'm looking at Monday. Normally, when I order from SAE they're usually slower.

I've only ordered once before from SAE and that order took 3-5 days. Lately, I've been spoiled in many of my orders from numerous retailers have come early.

The worst I had with SAE was during the Fox sale where it took an entire week just to send out my order and I had placed my order on the first day of the sale...then again "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" might of been a factor since that was dangerously low stock. Not to mention the Fox sale had a lot more popular titles that people definitely wanted to snag...that isn't to say that for this Sony sale that the 9.95 is probably the best I've ever seen that bracket.

My SAE order came today, two days after ordering via media mail. I didn't even get a shipping notice

[KJones77]

SAE order came as well. No shipping notice and my credit card hasn't even been charged...not that I'm too upset about that lol.

I'm still waiting on my order from 8/30 that's held up due to How to Steal a Million. Patience is a virtue so......

Same here. Wish I had looked closer at Million’s listing before I ordered.

Low quantity titles are the eternal struggle.

Okay so I had to get another film which I couldn't pass up for its price:



The good part is I should have two $2 off coupons when it comes time to order The Iron Horse in November. I'm done with TT films until it comes out.

Sam Fuller is always a great addition plus you need "The Crimson Kimono" to have a buddy. The only Fuller TT I'm missing is Hell and High Water.

[StarDestroyer52]

Given the recent posts, I'm glad I ordered How To Steal A Million and Two For The Road when they first came out. Being Audrey Hepburn films I didn't want to risk missing out on them later.

I want to get The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor eventually. I was blown away the first time I saw Shock Corridor.

My first taste of Fuller was when I blind bought "House of Bamboo" during the Fox sale...on location shooting is a big draw for me personally for some of these older films. Great noir.

Yeah, I failed to pull the trigger on that before it sold out. Something about the location shooting on small budgets on noirs that is really appealing.
