The Shootist
True Grit

among many others. .
Clint Eastwood:
Rawhide

How is this even a contest? The ultimate western hero is Wayne.
Now Eastwood has it sewn up for police dramas with the Dirty Harry franchise..

No, no. Hot Chocolate.. as in:
Tina: I promise I will drink my Hot Chocolate! -something like that.
I believe Cascades sought the pharmaceutical treatments as well.

LOVE BACH ! ! !
I also love what you wrote about the speakers. Mine are okay, but the speakers in my former Mazda were awesomely perfect, and I miss that car. I will look for a great recording of one of my favorites. Someone posted Jambalaya, and I have to play my favorite version.

Great moments in romantic comedy:
Dialog.
>Miss O'Shea: *Why do you suppose I came here in the first place?*

>Prof. Bertrum Potts: To help with the research..

>*I did not. I came on account of you. . .*

>Me!?
>
>*And not on account of you needing some slang, but on account of because I wanted to see you again.*
>
>Miss O'Shea, the construction of on account of because outrages every grammatical law.

>*So what! I came on account of because I couldn't stop thinking about you.after you left my dressing room. On account of because I thought you were big, and cute,...and pretty . .*

>Pretty?!

>*Yeah, I mean you. Oh, maybe I'm just crazy, but to me you're a regular yum-yum type.*
>
>Yum-Yum?
>
>*Yeah, don't you know what that means?*
>
>No, we never got to that.. .
>
>*Yeah, we'll we get to that now, and I'm glad it's out. I don't give a hoot if the other's went for me, you're the one I'm wacky about, just plain wacky! Can you understand that?*

>Please, Miss O'Shea. . .

Hi finance! And with prior knowledge, you could continue avoid the the roughest parts of the Depression, maybe?
My favorite period would be the Forties to early Fifties.. but I agree with Old Hippy, the 40s. For me, it was a simpler time, yet filled with so many changes. I feel so in touch with movies like The Best Years of Our Lives, Letter to Three Wives and The More the Merrier.
I guess that's another thread: *Movies that strike us like Deja-Vu...*

>*You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion.*

>*Just a minute... just a minute. Now, hold on, Mr. Potter. You're right when you say my father was no businessman. I know that. Why he ever started this cheap, penny-ante Building and Loan, I'll never know. But neither you nor anyone else can say anything against his character, because his whole life was... why, in the 25 years since he and his brother, Uncle Billy, started this thing, he never once thought of himself. Isn't that right, Uncle Billy? He didn't save enough money to send Harry away to college, let alone me. But he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter, and what's wrong with that? Why... here, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You... you said... what'd you say a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait? Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken down that they... Do you know how long it takes a working man to save $5,000? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about... they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well in my book, my father died a much richer man than you'll ever be!*

I agree with you, Frank. It is a wonderful reveal about Scarlet as she scolds Ashley. It strikes a discordant moment for all of us, for I believe we are all guilty of it at one time or another. Understanding Rhett, I think he will chew himself up inside about it, remembering what Belle Watling said about his relationship with Scarlet.
Has Scarlet learned anything? Not much about herself. The movie ends with her getting ready to scheme again -tomorrow.

Virginia City (1940)
A rebel spy poses as a wild West dance hall girl.
Cast: Errol Flynn, Miriam Hopkins, Humphrey Bogart. Dir: Michael Curtiz.
Errol Flynn dresses up like a little hussy, shaving off the mustache, and calling himself "Virgin-nee-ah" with the worst drawl the West has ever heard, but his dance hall routine with fencing foils is pretty clever! 2 stars..
Information missing from "Now, Voyager"

Transforming yourself by your appearance is not to be overlooked. It does create an inner force to your personality if applied thoughtfully. Poor Charlotte Vale had to overcome a tyrannical mother, and it wasn't going to take just a change of clothes and hair tweezer. I always thought that's why the introduction of Gerry. He was suffering through a tyrannical situation himself, and Charlotte found how what she learned at Cascades can be helpful to others. I like the way the story is crafted through the intervention Charlotte does with rescuing Tina -before Tina can suffer they way Charlotte had..
I've tried to find Prouty's book for my Kindle. No luck so far.
