Rome, that was a _great_ intro to *Angels*, you have a great smile and such friendly tone of voice, and I really adored your description of your grandpa, I can just picture him so vividly from how you described him. actionsgirl, I had forgotten to say earlier how much I admired your father in *West Side Story*, he and all the other Jets made a big impression on me and I watched it for the first time when I was really young, but I was already starting to pay close attention to the credits and the cast names at the end of the movie, and I definitely remember looking for the handsome young man who'd played Action. He was definitely lucky to be part of such a first-rate cast!

Thanks so much for sharing that photo, I've heard a lot about Vitaphone discs but never really saw a photo of one. I do remember the days when record players had settings for 33/45/78rpm, but I never got to use any 78rpm's, even then.

You're right, I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

Is this kind of like the one you have? I believe it's a 78rpm.

Great *GWTW* outro, and nice story about those Lana Turner earrings. actionsgirl, I loved your *Singin' in the Rain* intro!! Glad you mentioned Robert Watson, because I don't think I'd know what his name was otherwise! But you're right about the numbers with Gene and Donald. What a great screen pair they made - wish they'd made more movies together. (Debbie Reynolds is the icing on the cake, naturally).

Watching it on a big-screen sounds like a lovely opportunity, especially if it's somewhere called a "Drafthouse Theater". Sounds to me like a good place to get spiffed.

But if any part of the soundtrack survives, this film could have fallen into Universal's Hands like THE FOUR FEATHERS (1929) did? Good heavens! It could take them decades to figure all that out! I'll keep my fingers crossed, in any case, for an eventual home video release.

We're definitely looking to your intro tonight, btw!

Congrats on the movie soundtrack, it must be a delight to listen to "Heigh-ho!" on good old-fashioned vinyl!

*Rio Bravo* Here is an _easy_ one:

actionsgirl, Hi and welcome to the forums! > {quote:title=actionsgirl wrote:}{quote} > I'm next...ugh! Hope I'm as good! I take it you are Lisa M.? If so, great choice for your guest appearance, congratulations and I'm looking forward to your intro/outro!

Following closely behind the other Disney classics, *Sleeping Beauty* and *Pinocchio*, the 1937 *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* will become the 3rd animated classic to be re-issued since the Disney company started releasing its crown jewels in both disc formats. (It's scheduled for release in October). Obviously, this one is of great historical importance, and was even chosen by TCM to be on its list of the 15 most influential movies of all time. As it has become practice for Disney, the blu-ray release will apparently include a DVD of the movie as well, so it becomes easier for parents to "future-proof" their collection even if they don't have a blu-ray player yet.

I'm sure you know where Fred's thread is with all the instructions. Or just add " at the end. And make sure the image you link to doesn't have the movie title in the address! > {quote:title=sellyoulloyd wrote:}{quote} > Good one, Marian! This pic is from *Touch of Evil* Correct!

Point taken.

*The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence*, maybe? (Am I supposed to post another photo?) Message was edited by: MarianStarrett

They could have just explained it "in code", just like so many other things were discreetly mentioned during all those years. Have you seen those documentaries that are included in the WHV release of the movie? I'd love to hear your opinion about what all those folks had to say about the movie.

> {quote:title=CineSage_jr wrote:}{quote} > Why would you want to pin her reasing down, anyway, not that there really was any reasoning involved? Debbie was raised as a Comanche, and Indian squaws were not noted for having much say as to how they lived their lives in that patriarchal society/ Well, as I said, "there are those" who would have liked to see something like that. It's not something I was really aware of until I saw the bonus documentaries on the disc. Personally, I think maybe it's just as well that Debbie remains a little mysterious, that not every single thing was spelled out. And you're definitely right about her having gone from one patriarchal society to another; I'm not sure how clearly John Ford understood that, since Hollywood itself has also always been a very patriarchal establishment.

That was an *excellent* intro, April!! You looked quite charming, confident, and well-read, it's about as good an intro to *Gone with the Wind* as anyone could have ever done. Robert obviously was having a really good time, especially when he asked "Is there a little Scarlet O'Hara in you?" Great dress & earrings, too. Congrats on a magnificent job!

Woot! Five more minutes! B-) This is it, folks, the movie _that started it all_ 15 years ago...
