I’m crazy about him since I saw him on TV the first time – acting together with his wife, Florence Eldridge in ,,Christopher Columbus (1949)” in 1992.
Unfortunately,up to the present day, I never managed to get a good version of the film on DVD. Good means:
- bright colors
- all scenes included and shown in full length (I think to watch the film takes at least 105 minutes, doesn’t it?)

Can you help me?

It’s wonderful:

I would set my alarm, wake up, watch and then go back to bed.It wasn't the mundane panel program which caught my interest but a special feature at the show's end. The panel would be blind folded and would have to guess the identiies of the movie, television and Broadway stars appearing in what amounted to a five minute guest shot for the personality involved. The stars would disguise their voices, often to no avail since the panel was quick witted and often knew which stars were in town (New York City) to plug films, books, shows or whatever.The show was hot, fairly popular for a while in the 50s, and managed to attract some of the biggest names as guests, such as Gary Cooper or Montgomery Clift. And of course, as a movie buff, TCM fan and Morelock afficando, thats exactly what I wanted to see.I remember Esther Williams teasing panelist Dick Clark because he was so short. If you read her autobiography you know she wasn't attracted to short guys. And then there was Gene Kelly promoting one of his lesser movies, "The Happy Road" and receiving a compliment on it from one of the panelists. The panel could not  guess Ann Sheridan's identity and had to unmask; you felt sorry for her because she was no longer a major player in Hollywood.Frederic March was an unexpected sensation. He disguised his voice and pretended to be a punch drunk prize fighter. He got laughs and fooled the panel.He was always unpredictable and a joy to watch. It's too bad Marlon Brando, who was just as gifted, was not a pro like he was, but thats a subject perhaps someone will discuss at another time.

Medusa, you know it, people here know it, how has he been practically forgotten?And I agree about his being quite a hottie, he was was breath taking as a young man, in the way that  joel Mccrea was, very pretty, while still masculine looking.Moira– I'm with you, I have always felt bad, not having gotten to see Frederic March on stage.You feel you would meet FM and kind of just be in awe and respectful, but If I had met Dana Andrews, I just would  have just stripped him naked and  then have shown him, over and over,  how much I appreciated his  movies.AddieNY, NY
