1. The listed stars on the "Harvey" entry???

Why does TCM do this, listing the bit players but not the leads?

Stoopid!

[longship]

2. "It Came from Outer Space"

Interesting story line, flawed by hopeless script and cheesy acting. Regardless, it has Barbara Rush and Richard Carlson, which is better than nothing. Classic early 50's SciFi?

Don't forget plenty of popcorn.
