Hi, HOLLIS.
I think you're giving Hearst too much credit. SINGLEHANDIDLY??? Teddy helped somewhat. And Teddy was one of our five top presidents.
Don't pick up BURRESS, HE'S TROUBLE ... MEL

Re: Starlift (1951)
Hi, MOIRA Your post about Doris Day put me in mind of a previous Hollywood policy. When an actor made a big splash, He / she was put in a series of less artistic parts wsith hackneyed stories. to cash in. ( don't make it good, make it Tuesday ) Off hand Grace Moore ( ONE NIGHT OF LOVE ) and John Gar...

Re: At Random
Question, JUDY?? My spotty memory tells me that in Manhattan, the city blocks running east _ west are noticeably longer than thuse running north _ south. Am I wrong? I never bothered much with maps and it's been a long time. Of course, out of towners know more about NYC than the people who live ther...

Re: WHAT FILMS HAVE YOU SEEN LATELY?
LI'L ABNER. It's very difficult( impossible?) to transfer a comic strip to the screen, unless music is added. Norman Panama and Melvin Frank did and came up with a winner. Some good songs (Johnny Mercer / Gene de Paul), grade A choreography ( Michael Kidd / Dee Dee Wood), and some terrific dancing. ...

The posts about Garbo sound like a pressagents' convention. A while back, I said some nice things about Julie Harris ... mild, I didn't use words like goddess or divine and boy, did I get pounded. I enjoyed the contraversy, it was fun. Now, there's all this praise for Garbo and not a word of disagre...

Hi, Stu mY MEMORY SAYS toss up. With me it's the songs and how they're done. Each one had a bevy of good singers, Dunne, Grayson, Jones, Keel. Robeson, Warrick etc. I take it, Gardner was dubbed. Morgan was very popular at one time but I don't regard her as a great singer, not like Ginny Simms for e...
