I am a big Three Stooges Fan. I know that the Stooges played minor roles in this film,but I am still curious to see it. I am also eager to see John Gilberts performance. I have never seen this film listed as being aired on tv in the thirty years I have been searching for it. Does anyone have any info?

In case youstill care, this film will be on TCM this week of Aug 20,2010.
A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
It's available as a DVD-R via Warner Brothers Shop & Amazon.
shareHopefully TCM will air it again. The user review notes highlights of the ensemble

I am now looking at it on TMC
shareOh and it's 2013
shareA very well preserved, clean print just showed on TCM. Excellent lighting and camera work, especially for the era. Agreed, great cast. Kind of sad to see John Gilbert play an alcoholic writer, but at least he was still working.
shareGilbert probably wasn't acting--at least not entirely. Like Errol Flynn in his last years who a few times, played alcoholics ( such as in The Sun Also Rises & Too Much Too Soon) Gilbert was probably half sloshed much of the time. Still he gave a good performance and even the critics at the time admitted it. He was gone a little more than a year after the film's release.
