I like The Major and The Minor as well. I know some get creeped out over the "age difference" but I like the way Ginger plays the role. I haven't seen The Lost Weekend in forever. I thought it pretty good. It is not one I have revisited but should again just to see if my opinion would be d...

Yesterday I saw " The Vanishing American " (1925) a fine Western directed by George B. Seitz starring Richard Dix (who's very good and believable in his role) as a Native American living in a Reservation Camp in the West during the time of WWI. Dix plays a decent, honest, likable, pacific...

A war picture comes to mind but unsure which one. Unless it is "The Great Escape.""3 Godfathers" has a scene where a water tower scene where Ward Bond tries to head them off. Of course, there is the opening credits to "Petticoat Junction" which I always thought was a bi...

To April's point about TROOPER HOOK and THE STALKING MOON (see first post) and would agree that is really isn't a remake and also that the latter can be slow and without much of a soul to it. Aside from one scene where Peck invites Saint and the boy to join him in the meal and feel free to talk abou...

I somehow missed the charm of "I Married A Witch." Having finally seen it I didn't find it all that funny. I'll agree with the nice marks for Kellaway and Benchley and I generally always like March. Fantasies generally aren't my cup of tea and this didn't do anything to change my mind. Ben...

FInally saw the 1940 "Gaslight." As stated there is much to be said for Dickinson's direction. He moves the camera quite a bit and always very smoothly. The final tracking shot that ends at a street lamp is especially good. The set design is quite good too as the house is just covered in a...

Thank you Moira. Those are wonderful things to know. I feel the same for you. I appreciate your friendship and prayers.

Masha, you are the one I thought of as I posted. I knew that my impending situation would be ever so slight in comparison. It is an amazing story and one that certainly proves any situation is possible to overcome. All of you have shared stories that encourage me and those that will find this later....

Thanks. Good for you for overcoming your challenge. To me it is much more difficult than my upcoming road. I'm glad music helped. I've played the piano most of my life with an amateur's level but nonetheless have always found it quite a pleasant distraction. It has allowed me a very satisfying life ...

Such wonderful news. Congratulations, Dee.

Bless you all. You are very kind and encouraging. I appreciate it. Thank you for the suggestions. I appreciate your friendship and prayers.

More as I go.......

My life is coming to a big change. After a year or so of deliberating the possibility my family has decided to sell our insurance business. I started working with my father on Feb.8, 1988. and will leave the end of next month. Business has not been great. My brother, who has been part of this for 10...

That is so sweet. She is touched. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

And still another Happy Anniversary to ChiO, who still has the most beautiful grandchildren in the world. And also a Happy Anniversary to my bride, Carolann. 32 years and counting for both couples.
