Did they stuff twenties down the car's waistband too?

Yes, Monogram can certainly be counted on to deliver the tacky goods, be it The East Side Kids with Bela Lugosi, skulking gorillas, bare-bones haunted houses, shuffling zombies, or snooze-inducing Nazi agents. But of course these are the most fun to watch as far as I'm concerned.
I'm waiting for TCM to air Monogram Month.
I do realize that would only happen in my (and many others) dreams.

Yeah he liked those old "yachts." Perry had a big carbon footprint and
a big footprint all around. Paul often tooled around in a T-Bird.
I bet I watch no more than 15 or 20 channels in my DirecTV lineup.
They are now requiring new equipment for everyone. It's supposed
to be a free upgrade. I'll wait and see about the free part.

Henry V (1944) TCM 6/10
Henry, King of England, (Laurence Olivier) leads his troops against France.
An interesting version of Shakespeare's play, Olivier also directed. I may need another watch to fully appreciate it. I went in with not much knowledge of the play so I found it hard to follow at first. Usually with Shakespeare I had already read the play and am familiar with most plot points.
The costumes and the color photography are excellent here, I liked the battle scenes too. Olivier gives a more restrained performance here, I especially liked the scene where he disguises himself and talks to his soldiers.

And, don't worry, the cable company allowed me to keep TCM as one of 15 channels that I could hold onto in addition to the local channels, so I am happy about that.
I checked last night and I DO have FETV and on channel 197! Weird. I don't think I had that originally as the channel guide at installation had something different on that channel and I remember searching awhile back for FETV and didn't see it anywhere. So I think it got added at some point. It seems Perry Mason occupies around half of its daily schedule! (at least during the week).

Re: I Just Watched...
My car would probably take up 1/2 of Perry's cars! LOL. I probably watch around 12 stations on a regular basis. Another half dozen once in awhile. The rest I never watch.Andree wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2024, 8:09 pmYeah he liked those old "yachts." Perry had a big carbon footprint and

Mine too, though I doubt his gas mileage was very good. FETV runs PM episodes in
the afternoon and in prime time, which are the ones I watch. And he's been on the
schedule for years. They also run Leave It to Beaver and Bewitched in
the late morning and early afternoon. They just added Highway Patrol at
7 a.m. That's bit too early to take Broderick Crawford or anybody else for that
matter.
