Going on an international flight is fun, Minya, but you should probably read up on jet lag, if you haven't already, since it's what most people tend to have a problem with when in trans-atlantic flights. The whether should be fairly good at that time of year, and you would probably be avoiding the worst of the European summer, which can get very hot in places. Bon voyage!

Jean-Paul Belmondo

Yes, I'm referring of course to "Don't Worry Be Happy". I remember back when I was in school some folks just listened to it day and night. Although I remember at the time I was a bit annoyed by the song's overexposure, I still enjoy listening to it from time to time.

Some nice photos there, Armand. I'm a big *She* fan myself. B-) Here's another one:

For example, I love The Lady Eve and Miracle of Morgan's Creek. How can I put one over the other? They're both wonderful albeit in slightly different ways.

What's that? Oh, I guess I'm the one who really needs to "get crackin'." Well, Frank, I'm touched you used to think I needed to share more than I did before... all I can say is, I'm tryin'!

For all the movie buffs who are partial to the charms of *Random Harvest* - look what I just found in the Media Room: http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/index/?o_cid=mediaroomlink&cid=35683 Enjoy! B-) (Don't thank me for it)

Thomas Gomez was in *Trapeze* with _Katy Jurado_

Elisha Cook Jr. was in *Shane* where he was killed by _Jack Palance_

I wasn't quite sure of Greer's initial motivations but not revealing herself. I was shocked when she turned up as his secretary. She seems to take things so calmly. Always stalwart and ready to sacrifice. That's Greer Garson. I thought it was a nice old fashioned love story. The kind of thing Greer and Colman excelled at. The scenes at the cottage. The whole escape at the beginning were all very dreamlike in mood. I will say more later when I've had the chance to sleep on it. That sounds more like the *Random Harvest* I remember. The dreamlike quality of some of the scenes are one of the film's strongest assets, I also liked the scene with the traditional scottish(?) dance.

A very striking poster. Simple, but effective. B-)

Next Saturday's primetime lineup, "Big Love", will include a rare showing of one of Preston Sturges best (and most popular) movies: *The Miracle of Morgan's Creek* (1944) During World War II, a 4F tries to help the woman he loves cover up a surprise pregnancy. Cast: Eddie Bracken, Betty Hutton, Diana Lynn, William Demarest Dir: Preston Sturges BW-99 mins, TV-PG Shows at 2:15am ET/11:15pm PT http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/index/?o_cid=mediaroomlink&cid=58642

I stand corrected, Rey. Should have remembered the two theatrical releases he made after *Old Gringo*, at the very least. Now, I could be mistaken about this, as well, but I could swear that at the time of its release, he had said something about this being his last movie role. Like I said, maybe my recollection on that is a bit faulty, but it seems to have made an impression on me because right around that time I was starting to pay attention to the Hollywood legends of the Golden Age that were having small or not-so-small parts in recent movies - like Burt Lancaster in *Field of Dreams* and Audrey Hepburn's small part in *Always*, to name a couple. In any event, I think that novel could have probably made for a better movie, but maybe it's just a matter of a film that never found its audience. Worth watching, though, imho.

> {quote:title=ArmandDuval wrote:}{quote} > No, I found it on the net! But, I did put the two together on photoshop. I didn't realize I already had the B&W, so when I saw it, I just slapped them together. I haven't the expertise to colorize, and I envy those who can. Well, Armand, I think it is perfectly understandable. I've been considering getting some experience with photo colorization, but sometimes spending my free time watching movies I've never seen before is a bit more tempting. Great work putting those together w/photoshop, and the latest photos you just posted are just absolutely divine! :x
