Title: Movie I saw on TCM Post by: Jay on July 22, 2016, 12:51:22 PM Ok, this is driving me crazy. Last month when I was in the hospital I saw a movie on the Turner Classic Movies channel, back in June of this year. Unfortunately, the tv's in this hospital don't let you access info, so I couldn't find out the name of the movie or when it was made. I'm hoping somebody here can help me figure it out. It was a movie based on a Jane Austen book. It was an older movie in black and white. I would assume it was sometime between the 1930's or 1940's. It had an all British cast. I didn't catch the beginning of it, so I'm a little fuzzy on some details. When I started watching it, it was during a courtroom scene. I believe two young boys were accused of stealing. There was a pretty funny scene where the people in the jury box went into a room to decide the verdict, and came right out the other door in one fluid motion, in a circle. I remember part of the plot had to do with some kind of magic stone that switched the personalities between a grown man and a little boy, so the grown man spends much of the movie acting like a child. Does anybody know what the name of this movie is? Does it sound familiar at all?

... I dunno...I have nothing lol Title: Re: Movie I saw on TCM Post by: JK on July 22, 2016, 02:48:23 PM Well. I accessed the June schedule of Turner Classic Movies but couldn't get it to work. Then I googled strings of everything in your description and in the end arrived at this 1948 black-and-white movie:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_Versa_(1948_film) It's also on YouTube (in sections): https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=vice+versa+1948 If this isn't it, perhaps you'll have better luck with the TCM June schedule...

They were having some kind of Jane Austin marathon the day I saw it, so I assumed the movie was an adaptation of one of her stories.

After googling Jane Austin to within an inch of her life I moved on to various permutations of the "magic stone" and "grown man/little boy" aspects. An hour in, I'd almost given up when bingo!----there it was. :=) Title: Re: Movie I saw on TCM Post by: Jay on July 23, 2016, 11:36:55 AM Vice Versa! That's it! Thank you, John k!
