A pretty penny for the costumes ... brilliant stills. Here on the Board, the world around us here swirling around, not al thatl pleasant at times ... but this quiet, brilliant thread goes on apace, a treasure trove. I, for one (and for others who are surely missing out) thank you, Rich, for the incredibly fine and detailed work you do here. Nothing seems rushed. The research apparent in these postings is impressive. I am absent far too much but I have always admired your work here.

After reading the comments by the reviewer I went back the screen shots looking for spice.

I am debating with myself watching a Hallmark movie out of sheer curiosity.

To Serve Them All Our Days is a BBC Miniseries made on 1981 about a wounded and shell-shocked young soldier who as a part of a convalescence became a helper in a boys private school and who later became an accidental schoolmaster. I enjoyed this for the most part but had a couple of stoppages. I ultimately continued on to the end. One of the real pluses that is still with me is the theme music, a modest sounding but magnificent little piano piece which captures the nostalgia and reverence of this beloved old school and celebrating its consecrated purpose to bring a proper education to young boys. Below is the end of an early episode, which captures a bit of the tone of the whole story, but I mean to highlight the outro music that was the end music to all the episodes. A lovely little piece. To my disappointment the video is not permitted to be embedded in this forum, the best I can do then would suggest the following ; google To Serve The All of Our Days - Episode i and go to the 48:00 minute mark and watch the final few minutes. Beginning with the schoolmaster sitting at a bench. Hope you try it. I may have gotten around it. If this vid plays and is not at 48.00, then please go there. https://youtube/z3G3L1za05k?t=2886

Perfect should be in quotes there, firstly because is there such a thing, and secondly and more immediately, was this one perfect? I'm nitpicking but what the heck. The drivers would never have deviated the route, they probably have running orders to return if the usual route was obstructed. Even if not, it is likely they would use the radio for instructions, in which case they would have discovered the radio in the truck was not working. They didn't ask the detour guy for credentials, certainly a common-sense expectation. It's nitpicking for a movie such as this, but also asks to what standards should a movie such as this be held. W T F moments can occur in the worst of films and spoil it, that is if it hasn't spoiled itself already by being so bad.

I think it was just to look more menacing, or something that would sell himself at a leading man in a crime movie. Not desirable in the usual sense nor attractive in the usual sense. Why didn't he just put cotton in his cheeks? It will be much better. For me, my favorite crime film of all time. A portrait of a hired killer. I'll say no more, though I'm sure glad that Peter Falk did not do the film. I like Falk, immensely in fact, but the guy who had the role was too good to lose, I don't even know his name as he was not a wwll known and if I remember he might not be a pro actor, per se ; not a great performance in the sense we usually mean, but PERFECT for the role. Try not to miss it. ***** A Japanese samovar? ** I wish he had got away of the inferno and ready to board the plane to Brazil. He wants to take his sister with him but she has a nervous breakdown at the airport, and he must board the plane without her, or get caught. The plane explodes shortly after takeoff, presumably a bomb. A lingering question could be who set it off (that is if there is any left in the cast still alive.) //

Oh wait! Succession is on HBoMax! Oops, sorry ... Prime :sheepish grin:

I got a familiar screen back but it's a bit different. There is no PRIME VIDEO at the top, you have to type in the the search box. I was through 6 of 8 episodes of Succession but that is no longer available, not even for pay. ..., and yes, you seem to be right here. I couldn't get these screens before. They were down so they could disappear Succession , ha. And other nefarious changes no doubt.

Anyone know what's going with Amazon Prime Video? I accessed after some time being away and i cannot find ANYTHING. There was usually an array of FREE TO ME stuff but it's all gone. My name is on the page so my account is still good. Can anyone help?

It means that Bobo walks into the men's shower room at this hotel and his pal Tiny is whipping a naked Claude Rains with a wet towel.

The voice sounds (more or less) like her, but i am surprised that she would sound so polished at this early date. Her later songs, at least some of them, was that real breathy voice. No sign of that here. But if IMDB says it is her, then is probably true.

Yes, I so agree. I was admiring her throughout. Such a gentle lady, and with an endearing vulnerability. I'm so glad that her character did not have something up her sleeve and turn out a bad girl in some way. Yes, it is too bad that they could not find a better place for her as an actress. Perhaps it's because they wanted splashy, and she had not that, or enough of it.
