Slim, a couple of possible films on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.
Tuesday 12.35 (afternoon) "Cast a Dark Shadow" (1955) With Dirk Bogarde as a delusional psychotic who murders his wife, somewhat older (Mona Washbourne), to get her money. Also in the cast are Margaret Lockwood and Kay Walsh.
Thursday 15.10 "Keep Your Seats, Please!" (1936). Normally I wouldn't mention a George Formby film but this is the one which has his "When I'm Cleaning Windows" song, the storyline was later used as a basis for the film "It's in the Bag" (1945) (where Alma Reville was involved with the screenplay) & Mel Brooks' film "The Twelve Chairs", and in the cast is Alastair Sim.
Film 4 is showing the French film "Petite Maman"(2021) very early on Friday morning at 12.55. Nelly has just lost her grandmother and is helping her parents clean out her mother's childhood home. She explores the house and the surrounding woods. One day she meets a girl her age building a tree-house.
The reviews of the film were very good with some calling it the best film of the year. It seems to be an exceptional film, isn't that long and has a "U" certificate. I assume that Film 4 will in due course repeat the film at a better time.

The trailer for "Petite Maman" to give some some idea as to what the film is like:

I mentioned a 1946 film "The Chase" in early September and got round to watching it yesterday evening. Starred Robert Cummings, Michele Morgan, Steve Cochran and Peter Lorre.
A film noir which is one of the strangest ones made. As a result it's surprisingly watchable

There seems to have been quite a widespread issue around 12.30 for anyone who uses Virgin Media email. Didn't last too long, about half an hour.
However I needed to send an email to a client about half and hour ago and kept on getting "An error occurred inside the server which prevented it from fulfilling the request" message. This was just affecting sending emails, not receiving them.
I tried using a different browser and that was working.
I closed the browser I normally use and then reopened it. This time I found that I could send emails. My browser is set to clear the cache when closing it.
So if anyone is having the same issue, you need to clear your browser cache.
Here's one for you El. Was The Third Man the first film with a soundtrack?

If you are asking what was the first film to have a soundtrack recording album released for it that would be "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) 12 years before "The Third Man" (1949).
"Don Juan" (1926) was the first film to have sound though that had no dialogue.
"The Jazz Singer" (1927) was the first film with dialogue and had songs in it.

Not expecting snow here either, Moonie. Friday night and Saturday night forecast to get down to zero, very slightly warmer nights after then but still colder than it has been.
Silm, if you haven't seen this episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" you will probably want to. The link is to the episode on the Daily Motion site as it is complete. Youtube has in in two halves and omits the credits.

Keep a watch out for the credits at the end as to who directed it (not Hitchcock).

Not one of Bette Davis' finest performances El...
How come it was Paul Henreid directing and not Alfred Hitchcock or was it a common practice for others to direct his short stories?

I posted a link to that episode as you had seen Bette Davis and Paul Henreid in "Now Voyager" 
Alfred Hitchcock only directed 17 of the 268 episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". Paul Henreid directed 28 of them. Norman Lloyd directed 19, he was one of the producers of many of the episodes and appeared in "Saboteur" (1942) and "Spellbound" (1945).
Arthur Hiller directed 17 episodes. He would go on to direct feature films, the best known one being "Love Story" (1970).
Robert Stevenson directed 7 episodes. He had a long career directing films from the 1930s to the mid 1970s. It was his films he made for Walt Disney for which he's best known for. Highlight being "Mary Poppins".
Many other people directed episodes. The most surprising one being Robert Altman who directed a couple.

Here's a football poser for Moonie. Have a look at the table for the FA Women's League Cup:

and see if you can work out how the points shown are worked out.
