Thank you, SCSU.

That one was difficult. I don’t remember ever hearing anything about that film. I got the first car placed somewhere in the mid to late 1950s, and the old car in the 1920s, perhaps a Packard with an oval rear window. The school kids at their desks looked like a similar scene in Imitation of Life, 1959, but.... different kids, different desks. So I figured it was a film about someone like a teacher, or a student growing up, or several people in their lives from the 1920s through the late 1950s, but I am not familiar with that particular film, and that is why it took so long. One of my doctors tells me that working on puzzles like this is good for old brains. Sitting and doing nothing is bad for old brains.

Good Morning.... Kid_Dabb

Here is an interesting clip showing Laughton directing part of the film:

I’m sometimes better at conceptualizations than I am with math, and I was wondering if you could tell me the concept that leads to your equation? For example, why do you use the numbers 5 and 4 and then 4 and 3?

Yes, this is a great pre-code movie with a great cast, great dialogue, and a great story, and it is very well made for 1929. Quite realistic too. I remember when I was just a little kid and we would sometimes drive past an all-blac k bar/dive in the mid to late 1940s, and if the doors were wide open we could look in, and those places looked just like the blac k bar in this film, and so did the people. And occasionally we would read in the newspaper where there had been a shooting and a killing at one of these places, usually on a Saturday night. Of courses there were also similar redn eck and cowboy bars.

Yes, but weren't these TV shows limited to an hour? About 46 mniutes with commercials? The movie in question might have been better if it had been 46 minutes long, with commercials.

There is another fun thing you can do with this.... such as..... You **** ****. You should **** yourself and go to **** and then take a **** leap at the ****. PS, by the way, for newbies and young people, I didn't type any bad words. I typed only asterisks, as a joke.

They look good together. That was a German rocket plane, not a jet.

Sounds good. I tried to post the Spanish name of the flophouse in Tampico where Bogart stayed in Treasure of the Sierra, but one word of the name was censored. It was El Oso **** And I don't think we can say "black and white" in Spanish, such as: **** y blanco

The BAD WORD filter comes with this message board program. It can be and is being edited by the Moderators as time goes by. See this: http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/documentation/index.html/_/documentation/administrator-control-panel/look-and-feel/post-content-bad-word-filters-r307 Hey, would anyone like the Moderators to add any particular word to the BAD WORD list?

Hey! Thanks for the notice!

clore, Yes, that was my whole point. It is a good story, a good script, but it was made in such a bland way, nobody remembers it much. If it had been shot the classic way with classic actors, it could have been a great film, since the basic story was so good.

LOL, I said pretty much the same thing 2 years ago. I think the script is basically pretty good, but it lacks a lot of stuff that an old crew and group of actors could have given it. As it is now, it IS forgetable. It was filmed entirely at the Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, and in fact Efrem Zimbalist Jr. was filming 77 Sunset Strip at Warner Brothers Studio at that time, so this was really filmed as a long low-budget TV show, not a movie. AND, in fact, Your Honor, the film's producer was Roy Huggins, who was strictly a long time Warner Brothers TV show producer, whose only major awards were two TV Emmy NOMINATIONS. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0400403/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr2#producer I rest my case.

This is a pretty good film about political intrigue. However, it is presented in a boring way, with a bunch of modern low-level look-alike actors, and without inspired photography, editing, or directing. I’ve tried to watch this film twice now, but both times my mind drifts away into dreamland, and I lose track of what’s happening and who is who. This film needs a great old classic director, and some great actors like E.G. Robinson as an investigator, C. Aubrey Smith as a judge, Lionel Barrymore as a lawyer, with Mary Astor, Barbara Stanwyck, and maybe Bette Davis. It needed some close ups of sweating faces, some noir lighting, and Dutch tilts.

Was he a ****, or maybe a ****, or perhaps one of those ****?

I used to get that same message from my ex-wife.

Marilyn Monroe hears Kid_Dabb shout, "Honey, I'm home!"

Hey, I just got that same message when I tried to post the animated gif of Jean Harlow's legs. But then I right-clicked my mouse, using Firefox, and I clicked on COPY IMAGE LOCATION, and that gave me the full URL address that posted ok.
