Hi Neilski!
I learned early that some folks consider these boards to be the lifeline, and I am so glad you are here!
I have only begun to deepen my appreciation of westerns. They are a magnificent alternative for opera, with less singing and much better photography. Really, this is not a mocking statement. Westerns seem to get some incredible narratives in the realm of such simple lives that the cowboys have, I mean on the surface. Love Red River, and The Ox Bow Incident.
My name is Charlotte, I live in Minnesota. and I love movies too! I don't get to post as much as I want lately, but I do read, so keep posting. I do appreciate the involvement of the great viewers here.

>*With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully, or desperately, toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But, not everybody could get to Lisbon directly, and so a tortuous, roundabout refugee trail sprang up - Paris to Marseilles... across the Mediterranean to Oran... then by train, or auto, or foot across the rim of Africa, to Casablanca in French Morocco. Here, the fortunate ones through money, or influence, or luck, might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon; and from Lisbon, to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca... and wait... and wait... and wait.*

If this is an argument over accuracy, all we have is the accounts of those involved, though WB usually retains plenty of records, There may be something filed with the papers at U of Texas (Jack Warner left many of his studio correspondence there). It may take some digging going through the archives.
I agree about seeing this movie. All I can think is that it is a Art/Vanity piece of the producer/director involved. I liked it, and I think it is very good, but since _Moby Dick_ is required lit in most English classes around, I think that alone may have contributed to it's box office lethargy.
*Does size matter?*
And as far as size, why go after just any **** whale, when you can go after Moby Dick! He would stand out, even in an ocean. Moby is legendary!
h6. I think I better stop before I'm thrown off the boards..Now, some out there may remember how I ended up in the hallway during Miss Wendt's English class.

Sorry about the seats, I know that in concert hall, those can be not good, like front row at the movies.
This was my earworm today. I had to look up my favorite performer of this, Paul Robeson, and I found a clip of the 1936 version of Showboat:
And William Warfield does an incredible version too:

Those are all excellent, Kyle. I particularly love the Daniel Boone. It gives me something to contemplate today as a writer. I will be working on how I show the story in the script.
Favorite line from movie.

Love that observation, James! It is deeper than seems at first blush.
