Buongiorno, Goddess! Ha! Yeah, Rudy's o.k., lol.
He exhibits such tender sensibilities in THE CONQUERING POWER as he does in THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE. I love the arc both characters take, from callow playboy to noble, steadfast lover.
Thanks for THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF. I've never seen it! It'll be really interesting seeing Roger in this kind of a role.

Jeff, the only thing better than Rudy in black and white is Rudy in color! Thanks! (I love his tank watch, too)
Don't worry about anything....

I didn't know that about Errol and Bruce, but I never really liked Cabot for some reason. The only movie I ever associate him with is KING KONG. He does a good job as Jack Driscoll, projecting a gruff masculinity (but without the likeability of Gable) I don't think I've ever seen or remember him in any other stuff from that time period though.
In the late forties there was a lot of curiosity about Mexico and I recall a spate of films with the country as backdrop to mysteries and musicals -- THE FALCON IN MEXICO, MEXICAN HAYRIDE (Bud and Lou), etc. Even Claudette Colbert "visited" (WITHOUT RESERVATIONS).

>We cook our black-eyed peas Southern style with the ham bone left over from Christmas.>
Blast it, I forgot the ham! You can tell I'm a
Yankee, lol. But I do so love Southern food.

Ha! Especially Sammy; I can almost see the
bolts on either side of his neck, lol.

Ciao, Miss G.! Oh my goodness, Rudy-toot-toot! Woof! What a fantastic print of THE CONQUERING POWER!! Mille grazie, cara!

Betty's looking good, as usual. Is that her dog Pudgy?
I did buy my black-eyed peas for the New Year! It's always delicious with rice, kale, and a few dashes of tabasco sauce.

I'm out of touch with a lot of those cartoons. Never heard of Harold and the Purple Crayon. I can see why Frank and Earnest was popular.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!

A Bhaer-y Happy New Year to all my dear friends!
Frank, I hope you're feeling better soon.
Two Advils, a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, and a slice of plain pizza with extra cheese will take care of almost any ailment.

You're doing brilliantly, Sans, certainly better than I ever could.
I liked Calvin and Hobbes to a lesser extent and I don't think I knew about Crumb. 9 Chickweed Lane (great title, lol) is new to me also.

I never heard of Frank and Ernie or Barnaby!

But even as nickname, I could never wrap my mind around "Skeezix". What does it mean, I wonder? That the character was thought of as skeezy, lol?
I love Dagwood sandwiches! I just don't like the character they're named after.
Oh my gosh you found Henry with of all people Betty Boop! I had no idea he was so old, especially with that bizarre oversized baby head, because I did see a strip and/or comic book of him in the early '60's.

SueSue -- great minds, lol! I was thinking too that Henry grew up to become Popeye!!! Hahahahaha!

So I came in on the last 40 minutes or so of THE WAR WAGON. It was funny to see greedy Jabba the Hut lookalike Bruce Cabot salivating over the heavy packets of gold being delivered to his ANIMAL HOUSE death machine tank, lol. I liked it when, riding with the wagon slowly rolling, Bruce looks impatiently at his watch: "We're runnin' late" and a minion reminds him, (I'm paraphrasing) "Well, we're kind of heavy" which makes old
Bruce light up and chuckle, "YEAH! Heh-heh-heh!" Kirk was color coordinated with his vest and the jonquil neckerchief, while I see Duke had on his old reliable salmon shirt, lol. Who was the blonde with the late sixties hairdo? Boy, Robert Walker, Jr. sure was the spit of his old man. I loved his ingenuity with the "whiskey" as the Indians were closing in.
I was pleasantly surprised by THE LEFT HAND OF GOD. Rather elegant, understated cinematography, nice, quiet performance by Bogie, and you were absolutely right, Miss G., I loved the tender way he related to Gene. Their scenes together were quite touching. I was looking forward to a lot of Cobb bellowing, but even he was uncharactistically subdued! I spotted almost all the Asian actors from LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING, lol. I can't believe I'm saying this, but E.G. Marshall with that mustache and amusing attitudes was kind of sexy, Gene lovely and charming. (thanks, Bogie!) However, my hackles started to rise when the kids started singing My Old Kentucky Home. But, when do they ever NOT give out with American tunes in this kind of story and setting?

Am I the only one who thinks Bert gets a raw deal in MILDRED PIERCE? This is a guy who for years had been the victim of Mildred's passive-aggressive behavior -- her pathetic (i.e. frustrated, half-hearted) aspirational strivings made him feel less like a man (hence, his being drawn to the "common" Mrs. Biederhoff for some tea and sympathy, nothing more in my opinion) "That's right, Mildred, throw it up to me that I can't support my family" -- "Bert, I don't say half as much as some women would with bills staring them in the face". This last comment is supposed to make us believe that Mildred is some noble, long-suffering housewife trying to keep body and soul together for her family, when in reality, don't you think she's the one tearing it apart by her insistance on "bettering" the kids, at the expense of her marriage? (piano lessons, fancy dresses, etc., everything she didn't have growing up)
