That sounds intriguing, but I would just be curious about it. It is a wonderful detail of Hollywood history. I think the story of how you came about it would interest me more. Or, was it a story of, "I was in the Samuel French bookstore on Sunset, and rummaging through a box marked *Soundtrack Documents- Warner Studios*. "
Wait, I would find that fascinating too!

Wow! Excellent that you had this, musicalnovelty! We do have the smartest, best informed people on this forum.
h5. I bow to the master!

Then it is not just me?! I am stumped too...

Just saw The Sundowners again yesterday.. for me, that qualifies. I haven't seen The Man from Snowy River in years, but it is also a western (and very good one). Same for Hidalgo. . .

I love most westerns. A western to me contains these elements:
Great story
Magnificent outdoor landscapes
Pretty horses

Happy Anniversary, Charlotte
A happy and instructive four years here.

Casablanca music:
It sounds like a Chopin Etude to me. Or maybe a Nocturne.

I second that! Little Rascals and Cartoons (I love the Fleischer ones). I would like to see a serial running through the Saturdays as well, like Commando Cody or Hopalong Cassidy.

*Where Love Has Gone?* Is it asked rhetorically?
h4. Joey Heatherton, Jane Greer, and DeForest Kelley!?
And those are the supporting players! How could I have missed this one!
h5. I hope netflicks has it.

Maybe they are using the Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe Advertising Agency?

I remember it that way too, Jonny. I understood the line immediately.

> Man, Another Time, Another Place was the BIGGEST brick of cheese...I could not stop watching, nor could I keep my chin off the floor for more than three minutes at the time. Awful, awful, awful, and it made me even feel bad for Lana Turner, who really should have sued.
I love Another Time, Another Place the way I love The Fountainhead.

The More the Merrier is on Valentine's Day. Perfect timing! Just saw Palm Beach Story again --Loved that too. And caught Ride the High Country this afternoon. It has been a Joel McCrea day of discovery for me. He deserves it!

That sounds like a new, fun game.

Agreed. Fascinating slice of Americana. Last time I saw it, I kept thinking Matthew Weiner (Mad Men creator) may have been influenced by this.

h5. Wow, they just don't write dialog like that anymore.

Is that about the cut-throat world of master chefs and baked potatoes? I don't watch much series TV anymore.. And no reality shows since the stopped production of *Ground Force*
