TCM is running a lot of Christmas movies for the next couple of days, and there’s some good stuff there. Again, though, I was wondering if anyone could burn a disc for me for The Cheaters, an old holiday favorite (a can of corn, but a beloved can of corn) they used to play here in Chicago (on WGN) every year, only to stop about abruptly about 15 years ago. The film has never been released on home video or DVD, and is very rare. Indeed, I suspect it’s only showing up on TCM this year because of people like myself who actively campaigned for it.
The movie plays tomorrow night (the 24th, Christmas Eve) at 8:00 ET, 7:00 CT, etc. It also plays at 4:45 ET in the following morning, for those who have other things to record in primetime.
If anyone could grab me the film, drop me a note at ken@jabootu.com and I’ll pass on my address. I will, of course, be more than glad to pay for the disc and postage.
Aside from that, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and so on. God bless, and may you all have a great holiday.
