Hardly. The reason he didn't serve is pretty well documented. He didn't chicken out of anything. At minimum he would have been exempt on his age and family.
-
I think you are right about his screen time. He is not really that much in "How The West Was Won" either so I think the afternoon list is fairly weak.
-
Half a day of anyone in SUTS just wouldn't work. Pretty much any other day (say, her birthday for instance) might do.

>I could have also gone to see Wings with Angie, but she went without me, because I had something going on that night, I don't remember what it was, though. Heehee! Oopsey!
Nobody asked me!
It would be great to have another TCM-er to go to the movies with.

Don't know enough about Wheeler and Woolsey to comment but you couldn't be more wrong about Stan and Ollie.
Deal with it.

*Either way.. enjoy them, youngun!!*
"youngun"?! I think you're the first person to ever call me that. Even my mother says I was born old.
P.S. I'm keeping it all for myself.

>latter day: Robert Carlye (spelling might be wrong) -you know, The Full Monty
He was also the bad guy in the Bond film "The World Is Not Enough." He was brilliant in an edition of "Cracker" with Robby Coltrane. It was based on partly on a true incident about a riot at a soccer/football match some years ago. It is titled "To Be A Somebody." And you got the spelling right.
I'll throw in Helen Mirren.

I'm hungry.
After all this we would like a full review sometime in the next week.

>Now what did I do?!
You just qualified to be a husband. (I can hear your exasperation.)
Now let's work on "Yes, dear."

Miss G:
As soon as I can find my overalls we are there.
JF:
There was a sight discussion on which was Flatt and which was Scruggs. However, we all knew which one was Donna Douglas.

No we did it acappella. My keyboard does have a setting for banjo. (I've yet to use it.)

For a surreal moment I take you back to Sunday morning. We are between services. Five guys in the band (including me) talking about nothing in particular when somebody makes a reference to the Tin Man. It leads another friend to tell the first that he was originally to be played by Buddy Ebsen. Another reminds him that he was in "The Beverly Hillbilles" and at that moment we all start doing the theme song for the show. I wondered if the folks coming in could hear us and if they did if they had as much fun as we did. (Yes, we got through the whole thing before we lost control.)
At the end I told them we would do "Green Acres" next time.
-
Happy Birthday Sir Francis!! I hope you have a grand day and enjoy a movie. Too bad we're not all together for cake. It is surely my loss.

>So Movieman let her know he's already taken. Always the heartbreaker.
Oh yeah! Spent my whole life breaking the hearts of the women lined up outside my door. (Better to disappoint them on the front end than find out after it was too late that they were at the wrong door.)

Congratulations on 4000 posts. Class, style, good humor and grace are among the many wonderful things you bring." Thank you kindly."
May I return the favor...

>Somebody help!
Quick. Play dead. If that doesn't work do your best Ben Johnson impression and she becomes instantly hypnotized.

>Only 13? Boy, I really have been watching some films off the beaten path.
I've only seen about 2800 movies over my life but am at an age now where a lot of those can be seen again as if for the first time. Yes, I'm old enough for that.
Thanks to you and the gang I still get to find new films worth watching. You're probably not so far off the beaten path as I've stayed too much on the main road.

She has suggested she has big hair. I'm sure she is as lovely as the rest of the ladies.
-
Very impressive sir. Didn't we do some "rambling" on WOTRW? Or was it just in passing? I've seen 13 of the list but not in a similar time frame. Probably should have though.
It's been a long time since I saw "Cornered" or "Arch de Triumph" and have similar recollections. I like "Monkey Business" for nearly all of it but at one point they all are annoying.
I like "Suddeny" alot the first time I saw it because I thought it was rare and Sinatra played someone so different. Some of the characters might have been a bit heroic but I enjoyed that one.

>As Time Goes By is gentle comedy with Judi Dench. I am not sure of its relationship to A Fine Romance
They both star Judi Dench and were written by Bob Laraby. It is because I enjoyed "As Time Goes By" so much I thought I'd give "A Fine Romance" a try.

My favorite brunette is sitting up in the living room but for just plain beauty one of my favorites is -
Jean Simmons

TIkiSoo:
I recently started to watch "Good Neighbors." A bit slow going for me but I'm going to give it some more time. One I have enjoyed is Judi Dench and her late husband in "A Fine Romance."
-
One of the funniest examples for me was in "King Soloman's Mines." After Deborah Kerr decides she has had her hair caught in one too many messes she cuts it. The scene has her combing what can only be described as one of the most professional stylings to come out of any safari in history.
-
I also don't think much of her film work one way or another. I do like the two "Father" films but more for Tracy than anyone else.
That being said I do think at one point in the middle and late 50's she was among the most gorgeous women I have seen.
