I cannot claim too much credit for this one - I looked it up!<br />BTW Paul, speaking of Led Zeppelin, I got to see them in concert at the Indiana State Fair Coliseum in I think 1969. Sat in the 5th row right in front of a speaker, got 2 1/2 solid hours of Led Zeppelin, no front band, just the Zep. 20 minute version of Whole Lotta Love to end it. Couldn't hear for 2 hours afterward. Best concert I've ever seen.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-23987069763253153942010-09-06T19:15:31.103-04:002010-09-06T19:15:31.103-04:00Saz, sorry, the gentleman in question in #9 did NO...Saz, sorry, the gentleman in question in #9 did NOT produce Marley's Ghost's LATEST album....he produced the one BEFORE that (Spooked).

Then I read almost exactly the opposite on a couple of websites, i.e., that actually it was Flynn who was offered the choice of either doing <i>Kim</i> or <i>King Solomon's Mines</i> and decided that <i>Kim</i> would be less of an effort. So Granger got to do <i>Mines</i> because Flynn turned it down and he became a superstar as a result.<br /><br />It gets more complicated than that, though. MGM had plans to make <i>Kim</i> much earlier; the wheels were in motion in 1938 with Freddie Bartholomew as Kim and Lionel Barrymore (who was then replaced by Robert Taylor) as Mahbub Ali. This first attempt failed, but then in 1942 it was announced that the following people had been cast in the movie: Mickey Rooney, Conrad Veidt, Basil Rathbone, John Carradine, and maybe even George Sanders(?). The movie still wasn't made due to the subject matter being unpopular in India at the time (they were fighting for their independence). Finally, in 1948, India achieved independence and then was willing to fully cooperate with the filming of <i>Kim</i>. So the movie was made and released in 1951....with Flynn, of course.<br /><br />So, anyway, I was confused, or TCM was....? or both!
