The t shirt post by Klondike put me in mind of some poems that might get a smile: "Go to father', she said, when I asked her to wed, 'Cause she knew that I knew that her father was dead. She knew, too, that I knew of the life he had led; So. she knew that I knew what she meant when she said, ;'...

Judith .... Chris .... Bogie. You can get very short clips of Amos 'n' Andy on LIKETELEVISION. Your posts reminded me of the Jello pgms with Benny, when he had Frank Parker doing the singing before Baker or Day and Don Bestor's band. Do you recall the running gag about hair? Some one would mention t...

Hi, Judith. It's been a while since we disagreed. You said 'more loud than comic'. Did you miss seeing Buster Keaton, Tom Kennedy, Nick Stewart, Jack Benny, Don Knotts, Mike Mazurki's son, E. E. Horton, Andy Devine? Ethel Merman was, certainly loud, and brassy but the part called for it, same with t...

Just want to add my best wishes to all and say I"m sorry about all those sad things. This is a wonderful site with so many nice people. ..... mel

Hi, Anne. You have very good taste. 'The Uninvited' is a great movie, best ghost film I've ever seen. I thought it was told very well, subtly. They didn't try to hit the audience over the head. and very effectively, You would probably, like 'The Haunting', the one with Julie Harris and Richard Johns...

Chris, You, certainly, picked a great topic. keeps getting more interesting. Example, the question was 'best' movie and I picked the ones I liked best. After reading through the posts, I THINK, I'm beginning to grasp the subtle difference between 'Best; and 'Favorite'. which makes me wonder if anyon...

Interesting, Mike. It would be easy for me to compile such a list because of the 25 films I listed, I first saw 22 in a theater. Of the other three, I'm not sure of two. For me it doesn't make any difference except in rare cases. I first saw 'My Fair Lady' in a theater with surround sound and later ...

Yes, Judith, Florence George it is. They sang 'I fall in love with you, ev'ry day' in one of those 'College' films, I love that tune. Nice photo ( whistle ) she could sing too. Yes, the other one was John Payne and the two blonds were Alice Faye and Betty Grable, the latter was the # 1 box office st...

I was very surprised. No one mentioned 'Mississippi" and only one mention of "She Loves Me Not", besides mine. I'm guessing, very few have seen them, in that they're too old. To hear Bing at his best, listen to two outstanding songs; 'Love in Bloom' ( Rainger / Robin ) and 'It's Easy ...

Sorry, Judith. I did a lot of research but very little information on her is available. I was very impressed with her looks and singing. Here"s some info" about the singer who made his debut in the same film; He played in musicals with a couple of very popular blondes. one who was # 1 in t...

Right on, Judith. here's one: I'm a beautiful opera singer. They call me a 'lyric soprano', whatever that is. Knowledge about me is very scant because I made less than a handful of movies. I sang a couple of duets in a 30s musical film with a male singer who was making his debut, also. We did not si...

Judith.
Do you want just anyone to post a mystery guest? Or are we still on the format of whoever named the last one? I haven't guessed any for a while but I'll be glad to think some up to keep the topic going........mel

Judith ....Chris Of course, you're right, it's entirely subjective. I'd like to hear some comments about these which I thought very funny, hilarious at times: 'Enter Laughing' 'Your Past Is Showing' 'Make Mine Mink' And a few others I liked; 'The Bank Dick' ....'Three Men on a Horse' .....the Miracl...

Very good, Bkln, about the climate. I'd never thought about it but, now that you mentioned it, it seems so obvious. Good work. ..... mel

Brooklyn ... Miss G. Another aspect of speech patterns would be environment. Not just in the formative years, ex; my father in law lived in West Virginia and added a syllable to one syllable words such as HAY OW and KAY OW, typical for W. VA but he was born and raised in Michigan. I was born in west...
