Never watched A Summer Place, but I've definitely heard that music
before. I couldn't tell you where I heard it, but I've it. LOL.

Same. I think I've heard it used in other soundtracks, and probably
while shopping in department stores.

Sorry to say this, but the Grease references is the only way I know her
too. At least I never doubted she was a real person. Or what Troy
Donahue wanted to do.

Oh gawd he watched A Summer Place (1959), in which Dorothy McGuire is
the movie's #2 on the list of all-time evil mothers.

Yep, and then I had to explain to therapy not only who Troy Donahue was,
but who Troy McClure is.

At first I thought you meant, Doug McClue, who I only know from the TV
series "Out of this World." But for some reason, I suspect the point
still holds. LOL

And it was followed by Susan Slade with Connie Stevens as Sandra Dee. I had to explain who Connie Stevens was, and the history of Hawaiin Eye.

Connie Stevens, best known for starring in "Back to the Beach." Was she
in anything else? ;-)

voice of Phil Hartman; I suppose who Phil Hartman was must be explained
too. If Donahue had made it as a talk-show host, he'd have had an easier
time in his final years.

How about Hawaiian Eye?

I always think of her as a commercial singer. "Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man." when I was a kid. If you're older than me, you'd remember her duet with Edd Byrnes "Kookie lend me your comb".

She's still alive.

Are you on Roku? Channels like Cinevault Classics, Samuel Goldwyn
Classics and a few others offer pretty much the same thing; there are
some commercial interruptions but they aren't nearly as bad as linear
TV.

Although I prefer to spend most of my movie time watching movies that
aren't 60 years old or older like much of TCM's creaky fare.

I guess I don't under why the age of the movie matters if you wish to
re-watch it or watch something for the first time.

I just enjoyed Stamboul Quest (1934) starring a favorite actress Myrna
Loy on TCM. This is the movie Loy was scheduled to go into production on forcing The Thin Man to have a production schedule of a bit over two
weeks. It's a WWI spy thriller in which her character is based on a
genuine German-trained spy and has a pre-Code attitude, even though the
Code was already being emforced.
