Kingrat: there are several movies on your list I have yet to see even though I know about them; Top of that to-see list is Midnight. I have not seen 3 others you listed overall.

The 1940s is my favourite decade. Gregory Peck started his career then. But 1939 is my favourite year because of the large number of movies I enjoy watching regardless of genre or star.

My top 10 1939 films in no order except for number 1: 1. Gone With the Wind 2. The Wizard of Oz 3. Gunga Din 4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame 5. Love Affair 6. Another Thin Man 7. Ninotchka 8. Goodbye Mr. Chips 9. Only Angels Have Wings 10. Wuthering Heights This is my favourite movie year, period.

Yes, well, movies where you squint while watching them would be another good theme night for Frenchman's creek.

20,000 leagues Under the Sea Next: Paintings

6) Virginia Mayo appeared in an episode of Remmington Steele as herself.

William Powell

To Kill a Mockingbird

6) Although there were some studio shots, much of this movie was shot on location that George Stevens found himself.

Move Over, Darling

Instead of hurting my eyes with Frenchman's Creek, I decided to watch another Gregory Peck film that I had recorded as part of the 100th birthday salute on TCM: CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNBLOWER: This is one of my all time favourites. I've never red the Hornblower books. I love Peck and Mayo as a screen couple. Fun.

I am not as familiar with the private life of Jennifer Jones after she left Robert Walker for Selznick. I am more familiar with Walker and Walker Jr. I did not know about this woman's suicide until you told me, Princess. Most of the people I have known who committed suicide were very artistic. One was a guitarist I had known since junior high who had a wife and toddler. Another high school classmate was a highly intelligent man who was a PHD student who had been promoted past a Masters because of research he had done. Still another was a musician who had one time been the head of the music academy here, played the tuba, was married to a trumpeter, had performed with me in concerts ad who had small children including an infant. apparently, he did it because he did not know why he existed and what the point of life was. I don't know. Some people who have considered suicide but don't have said that they are afraid of the unknown. Others believe that they will go to hell if they do. Since I had pneumonia when I was born and nearly died anyway, I view every day I live as a bonus that I may not have had. As I have said before, the arts tend to attract wounded souls, whether the art is something you do for money or for love and you have another job. I have done a huge number of posts on this site in an extremely short period of time. That can be annoying for some people. But really, I am doing it for myself. I love to write. I used to write on a website called Hubpages where you wrote on your own page and you were paid by clicks on ads. I never made any money. I have published articles in the local paper and some poetry in poetry books that only people who are in the poetry books buy and read. Eventually I was banned on that site because there is no off topic section on it and I dared to discuss my mental health during mental health awareness month. Wow. I never thought I would be a banned writer. I never thought anything I wrote would be that important that people cared about my writing to love it or hate it. Back to Peck's son: Being that he had a friend who had recently committed suicide, I think it not as surprising than if he had not known people who committed suicide. However, regardless of one's relationship to the person who has committed suicide, you always ask yourself HOW you could have prevented it. Often, you can't

Thanks for your wonderful review on the documentary which I have seen several times. Regarding Duel in the Sun: 1. This movie is often called Lust in the Dust and not as a compliment. 2. David O Selznick wanted to repeat his success as producer of Gone With the Wind. You see the results. 3. Selznick would spend hours deciding how Peck's hat should be tilted. 4. This movie and all the troubles involved in it was the reason why he was unable to be around the set during the filming of Notorious, one of four films Hitchcock made at Selznick studios and therefore entirely Hitch's own. 5. Because of the trouble Peck had with his horse not being photogenic on this film, his first western, he had to rehearse riding his horse on his second - Yellow Sky. As you can see in Western Sky, there are no stunt doubles. Peck's horse was spooked, ran towards a fence, and fell on Peck's ankle, breaking it. It never healed properly. Regarding his son: I agree with what you say. I don't have any children. I have known people who have committed suicide who seemed to have everything going for them because they are tight lipped about their problems.

I tend to put reminders in an agenda of mine that I use to remind me of everything I have to do a particular day. I also put theme days on my calendar such as the 100th birthday of Gregory Peck being 24 hours on TCM and not only in the evening.

One thing that could be done when watching Too Much Johnson if you have a large collection of music is to turn the sound on mute and find your own instrumental soundtrack among your cds.

I try not to read too much about plots to Errol Flynn films I haven't seen. I haven't seen all of them yet, and if I am not too careful, I'll read the entire plot of all of the ones I am missing before I see them. Sure, some of them I have seen other versions. But others are not.

Yes, I remember posting about his death. He had a good run.

No. But that's a great re-reading of what Wayne would be likely to say if he was a Quaker. Of course, when Coop won Best Actor for High Noon, it was Wayne who accepted the Oscar in his place. This despite him believing that it was Un-American for coop's character in High Noon to throw his sheriff badge on the ground.

My 2 favourite Clifton Webb movies are: Laura Three Coins in the Fountain I have yet to see Sitting Pretty.

I know Capote hated Hepburn being cast, but how come he didn't stop Mickey Rooney being in the film is more noticeable to me. I love Breakfast at Tiffany's but I always press the mute button when Rooney talks.

I think they could be considered food yes. There must be somewhere in the world that eats grasshoppers as a regular dish.
