    Ah, you and darkblue -- you kids. Yesterday was the anniversary of the killings at Kent State. I was recalling all the history and reactions to it. My friends (students in college at the time--and others serving the in US forces in Vietnam at the time) all these decades later- we share the same feelings about it.

    I didn't. So I am a bit upset that the thread was pulled.

    ... The scene in Casablanca when the Renault's men pickup Ugarte at Rick's Cafe, then after the scuffle, Rick calms down the upset patrons, turns upright a fallen cocktail glass, looks at Sam, and says "All right, Sam" -- and Sam- "Okay, boss." starts immediately the next number.

    Mirror, mirror on the wall, Whose reflection is in the hall? Dark, swarthy, holding a boom, Quite the surprise in the Ladies room. I love the scenes with mirrors being used. I keep watching for signs of the crew slipping into view. In The Best Years of Our Lives, there's a tech on the bench watching Teresa Wright and Virginia Mayo. His arm is visible between Wright's and Mayo's reflection:

    Yes, Fred, I remember the belly landing scene at the beginning of 12 O'clock High. It is an effective way to show the crisis of the USAAF in fighting on daylight raids without extensive verbal exposition of the problem.

    .. the scene in 12 O'clock High, when Gen Savage (Gregory Peck) is counting the bombers (we do not see, but hear their engines) returning from their mission.. I am counting with him, and then he calls the tower for confirmation.

    A weekend departure. Aaron Copland is one of the greats, imho. He also composed for film as well. Here is The Heiress

    Listening to this, Sunset Boulevard is one of Waxman's best. Great score for a great film. Franz Waxman Sunset Boulevard

    jamesjazzguitar wrote: They should have made a sequel; McPherson and Laura are married but he insist she stay at home to ensure she doesn't play around. She starts a relationship with Shelby, who is living off of the Anderson character, and he ends up murdered. Now McPherson is a suspect and Marlow has to solve the case. I don't think it would be nearly as enjoyable. There's no Lydecker to urbanely comment about their situations.

    Because it did have a roadshow release in 1946, it would nice if they could do that again too. From Wikipedia: Samuel Goldwyn's Oscar-winning postwar epic The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) . . . In a roadshow release, often a large-scale epic film would open in larger cities in an engagement much like a theatrical play or musical, often with components such as an overture, the first act, the intermission, the entr'acte, the second act, and the exit music. The overture should not be confused with the main title music. The overture, recorded on film without a picture (and years later, on tape), was always played before the beginning of the film, while the lights were still up and the curtains were still closed. (Most movie theatres until the 1980s had curtains which covered the screen, and which would open when the show actually began.) As the lights dimmed, the overture ended, the curtains opened, and the film began with its main title music and opening credits. Likewise, the exit music should not be confused with the end title music. The exit music, also recorded without a picture on film, was always played after the end of the film, while the lights were up and the curtains were closed. As the lights came on, the end title music ended, the curtains closed, and the exit music began.

    I am with you on this. I would travel 100 miles for an event like that.
