TELEVISION Q&A

QUESTION: Can you tell me the name of the movie that starred Gene Kelly and Deanna Durbin? It was in the '40s or '50s, I think, and in the end, Kelly was killed on the steps of a church.ANSWER: Kelly and Durbin co-starred in the 1944 movie "Christmas Holiday." Durbin plays a woman married to Kelly, who is a murderer. Although some sites say the movie is hard to find, I have seen a DVD for sale at Movies Unlimited (www.moviesunlimited.com).

QUESTION: I love John Wayne. Two movies I absolutely love are "Rio Bravo" and "Rio Lobo." My question is where can I find the soundtrack music to both or either of them? Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson sing together in "Rio Bravo" and I would love to have the music. Do you know where I could find the movies and the music to both?ANSWER: Both "Rio Lobo" and "Rio Bravo" are available on DVD. The movie music gets a little trickier.The title cut of a CD collection called "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" is a Martin-Nelson duet from "Rio Bravo." It also has Martin's rendition of the song "Rio Bravo," as well as songs from other Western movies. The CD is still in release; if your local music retailer cannot get it, look on Amazon.com. You may also want to look for a Nelson CD, "Rio Bravo," with songs from the movie; it was released overseas but can be found for sale on Amazon.com.While there was a CD release of "Rio Lobo" in 2002, it was a limited edition and may be hard to find and expensive.

QUESTION: I missed the first season of "Mad Men." Can you tell me if AMC is planning to rerun it?ANSWER: AMC is replaying the show late on Sunday nights. For a schedule and episode guide, go to www.amctv.com. You can also find individual episodes for sale on iTunes.Send questions or comments about movies, TV and other popular culture to rheldenfelsthebeaconjournal.com or the Akron Beacon Journal, 44 E.
