Good for your grandfather Paul. People who have jobs like that are the people who help make us safe. We had an evening when the fire alarm went off and it turned out that a wire had been pinched - no fire - but it could have been and firefighters are willin to sacrifice their lives for others. There was recently a funeral for a local firefighter who succumbed to his injuries after fighting a fire.

The Don Ameche version of Heaven Can Wait (not to be confused with the Warren Beatty film that is a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan)

Yes, some characters did get pitchforked. You're right about that. That is why the characters in The Great Escape jumped out of the trucks where they were hiding to escape from the prison camp on the same day the camp opened. Again, this film is based upon real events. But the characters were amalgamated so there would be only one or two of each person/job such as 1 scrounger, 1 forger, 2 tunnel kings...

I just finished watching the Columbo episode "Double Exposure" which I recorded overnight. It is one of several episodes where the guest star/murderer was Robert Culp.

Thank-you, Starliteyes. Next: Which director who worked with Cary Grant said of him: "Two of the greatest performances ever given by an actor were Cary's in His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story. Cary is not really appreciated for the remarkable actor that he was. He's thought of as a man who achieved a certain elegance and savoir faire. But in truth he was a fantastic actor." Note: This director did not direct him in either of the above films.

I do, Princess. I do indeed. I believe that people in Britain honour him all the time. I always point out that he died in battle and that he was a big movie star. Because Carole Lombard died after entertaining the troops she was the first American movie star to die in WWII. Howard and Niven made Spitfire together about the man who designed that airplane in the hopes of drumming up interest in the war.

I would rather win a Tony because I don`t want to make a movie. Next: Would you rather be a character in a Shakespeare play or a George Bernard Shaw play

This is not to say that I would not pitchfork the *character* of Miss Wonderly, mind you. I can`t think of any person who would want to pitchfork Mr. Roberts, except for the character James Cagney plays...

Hi, CMR. This is the poster formerly known as GregoryPeckFan. I have already left a message on your Leslie Howard page. My favourite film of his is Gone With the Wind.

I was thrilled when this aired on TCM as it has a Hitchcockian feel to it. It had been on my to-see list for a log time as a Joan Fontaine fan. I agree many of the main characters are drips, but it is still a great suspense film.

Oh, I did not watch Anderson Cooper I saw it on Entertainment Tonight. The last time I watched CNN was years ago as I do not watch 24 hour news channels anymore. I am a big fan of Stevie Wonder. I know about him being 12. I have several of his recordings. My parents actually saw him perform live. I was just relaying what I saw on ET which I normally only watch after someone I admire has died. After they switched to someone else, I turned it off. Otherwise they just show Kardashian stuff. But yes, that line from the song "There's No Business Like Show Business": You get word before the show has started That your favourite uncle died at dawn On top of that your Ma and Pa are parted Your broken hearted, But you go on.

Thank-you, Lawrence. Next question: Which late Canadian-born actor was related through marriage and grandchild to a British-born actor known for playing a famous detective, -THE famous detective? It might be easiest to look at all the actors who have portrayed the detective first, although he was not from Canada.

Invasion From Inner Earth gets a 1.9 rating on imdb.

I adore you SansFin. I really do. I would like to add that as a Canadian, I consider Justin Bieber to be the worst male singer (or perhaps of either gender) to ever have been born in Canada. What an idiotic statement he made after Prince died. Please Justin, consider this famous country song: How can I miss you if you don't go away? And when is the next Music awards ceremony: Beyoncé better ask Kanye to stay home.

Z grade film? How do you hear of these films, Lawrence? I doubt I have even heard of this movie.

Since I cannot tap dance (my right ankle can't make those moves) I will say Cyd Charisse Next; Would you rather meet a famous person privately for 20 minutes with no one around where you met the person by accident in say, a gas station, or would you rather be part of a large event and see this famous person on stage only with 1000 people in seats with you?

Bob Hope was in My Favorite Brunette with Peter Lorre
