Good point filmlover, sounds like something that Truman would say. I think that if the McCarthy hearings were held during his term ,Truman would not have allowed to have it gone as far as it did. The fact that sneaky weasel Bobby Kennedy was involved in the hearings also gave it an odorous smell. As far as Truman goes the proof about his commitment is the fact that he took a stand against General McArthur in the invasion of North Korea and stood his ground when popular opinion was on the side of McArthur. Truman was a tough cookie and didn't hesitate to speak his mind even if it was unpopular,a trait that I admired in him.

Edward R. Morrow blew the lid off the Joseph McCarthy Hearings in the 1950's. He had the guts to confront that obsessive jerk who accused everyone of being a Communist. It is a shame that Murrow died at such a young age from cancer. His show "Harvest of Shame" in 1960, showed the Amerian people the terrible working conditions of migrate workers... We could only imagine what his view on Viet Nam with LBJ in his dictator handling of the war would have been. Also The sneaky Bastard Nixon with his Watergate fiasco and the mishandling of the First Iraq war by George Bush Sr.when he stopped at he gates of Baghdad. The only on who comes close to Morrow today is Bill Maher but he doesn't have the power and influence that Edward R.Murrow had. I venture to say that Mr. Murrow would have cleaned up the Turner Classic Message board overnight if he was assigned, he was just that good! He was a fair true American and I consider him an icon of the underdogs who were taking advantage of or falsely accused on any topic. They don't make them like that anymore "A True Honest American" Bartlett

Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey reconciled and had a television show on WCBS in 1956. They preceded "The Honeymooners" with Jackie Gleason. I know they had that TV show because in January 1956 history was made when a guy named Elvis Presley appeared for the first time on national television on the Dorseys show! I remember it like it was yesterday. Bartlett

Your one of the nicest boarders on board! That's why I'm always on the "Film Chain" thread! I know I'm in safe waters in that thread and not in the hurricane like other threads. I knew there was an extra reason why I like you, like Doris Day you sound like an animal lover. I have three cats...Merlin....Mojo...and Napoleon ( Nickname Bomba cause he is a fat one). All are orange and all crazy. As I am inputting this, Merlin is on the desk trying to bite my hand as I am typing. If you see any mistakes from here on I can always blame Merlin because he likes to bite moving hands. ( Love bites...not hard) Hope your day went well I am watching King Kong right now that I taped about 17 years ago off of American Movie Classics when it was a great cable station. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I know how many Steve Martin haters there are but my favorite Thanksgiving Day Movie is "Trains, Planes and Automobiles with John Candy in one of his finer roles. I don't care if it was after 1970 and I don't care if it stars Steve Martin! I like it and that's who I please .....ME! You asked and I said (Thee Thee Thee That's All Folks!) By the way stoneyburke my favorite character on Soupy Sales was "Peaches" (Soupy in Drag) Don't forget to do "The Mouse" in your house also! Bartlett

> By the way, Bartlett, what IS it you like about > classic movies, you know, the kind that TCM USED to > show? > > dolores To me a classic movie is something I can watch over and over again and never tire of it. It could be a James Cagney gangster movie, a Doris Day comedy, a Jane Powell musical, a Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff horror movie or King Kong strolling downtown looking for Fay Wray. Classic is anything that I enjoy no matter if it is a Gish silent movie or slapstick Laurel and Hardy or Three Stooges. Even if it's a Flash Gordon serial or a Bugs Bunny cartoon. No matter if it's a Black and White, Technicolor, Metro-Color,letter box, pan and scan, former 3-D, Vista-Vision, diamond. I am not limited to any decade but if I had a choice it would be pre-1970's although a good number of great movies have been made since 1970. As long as it has imagination a good cast and script I will watch it.

Wow!.....I've been on here for only a few days reading many responses from people. It appears alot of members bruise more easily than fruit and walk on egg shells praying that one doesn't break. Is this what the Turner Classic Movie Board is all about? Tell me now anybody because if it is, I'll jump ship right now. I would rather abandon ship than go down with it. Bartlett

Finally a poster who makes sense and that I can relate to! Thank you for saying what I've been thinking since joining and reading some of these ugly posts. You are an astute person! Bartlett

> You keep asking for it. They said you > weren't a troll but I beg to differ. > I've read quite a few implications on these forums about trolls. And it seems to be a popular thing that if someone disagrees with anybody that they must be a troll. Sort of reminds me of the 50's when everyone was calling everybody else a "Communist" like in the McCarthy hearings. Just one persons observation I could be wrong but I may be right. Bartlett
