Always wanted to see The Return of October.
If you get the chance, see ON THE NOSE with Robbie Coltrane and Dan Akyroyd a SCREAM that uses a cadaver's head in a medical school anatomy repository to pick winners in Ireland.....GOOD FUN

RIDING HIGH is a remake of BROADWAY BILL, both from Capra, and he used the racing footage from the original for the remake. He also cast a couple of actors from the first film in the same roles in the second. This way, newly shot scenes would blend in with footage from the original.
THE RETURN OF OCTOBER is one that I caught up with a few months ago on TCM. It's rather charming and a bit more down-to-earth for Terry Moore as opposed to playing "Beautiful Dreamer" for MIGHTY JOE YOUNG.
I love the bit in the Marx Bros. film with Groucho falling for Chico's tips and codebooks. As Homer Simpson would say "It's so funny cuz it's true."
