Please forgive the interruption of any chats ongoing.. just wanted to take a quick moment to pop in and mention how much I thoroughly enjoyed getting to watch the Ford silent Four Sons earlier today.. I had seen it some time ago.. and then found out it was on youtube recently.. so decided to watch i...

Look at you, Miss Maven.. dipping your toesies in the Fordian pool!! :D Nicely done, little missy. I enjoyed reading your thoughts. (and those of your friend too) It is good to step out once in a while and try on something new. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed this film. I have to say it is a ...

Glenn Ford He's actually quite good in Dear Heart as well, but I can't bear Geraldine Page, and have never learned to get over my dislike. Oh, sister, move over and give me the secret pinkie handshake!! I can just about take her in Hondo because John Wayne , the dog and the kid are really good, (bu...

Woo hoo! Just had to drop in here and say that I'm really enjoying your latest posts here, Miss Applegate.. I do love a good first hand account from someone who got to walk alongside so many of the names and faces that we get to enjoy on TCM (stars and hosts alike) Oh.. and fun story about your new ...

Miss T.. that sounds like quite the trip. Am glad to hear you got to make an extra stop on your way back home! Meanwhile.. here in ole KC... Coming soon to a theater near you.. the latest in Sci-Fi thriller entertainment. Just when you thought it was safe to go outside in Flip Flops.. it’s NIGHT OF ...

Thanks Jackie.. (and ps, I had completely forgotten about you mentioning TCH to me.. duh. Coulda watched it even sooner than I did had I not lost track of myself. silly me. I am just glad to have caught it WHENEVER I did. ha. It really is a good story) And I totally get what you are saying about the...

Thanks for your kind words, Miss Moira. I appreciate the feedback on all my meandering thoughts, ha. perhaps part of that was that the Colonel felt a certain shame in being the commandant of a campful of women and children. I felt that he saw his relationship with Agnes (Claudette Colbert) as a link...

Here's what I wrote in 2007* about this film when I first encountered it, if you are interested: Thank you, Ms Finnie, for sharing that post! I enjoyed reading your thoughts and I completely agree about how Colbert really carried this role and made it so believable (all issues of her hair, not with...

Oh me, oh my.. I am a blubbery mess. I had some "off" time this afternoon.. and was so excited to have found Three Came Home on youtube that I went ahead and watched it. Thank you so much, Moira for recommending it. And I agree w/ (I think it was) Jackie. I believe this is one of Colbert's...

woo hoo.. I just looked.. it is on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7RG110OuDY

Have you seen Three Came Home (1950) and what did you think of it? Hi there Ms Finnie... I have NOT seen that one. It was on too late the other night for me to even try to catch it.. but after reading the comments here.. it sounds fascinating. I will make a point of looking for it. PS: Ms Favell.. ...

Thank you Ms Finnie, for spotlighting So Proudly We Hail. I have become a true fan of this film over the years, and must say that I completely agree with you about how well this film highlights the "side players". (though I do confess this is a favorite film for me w/ Ms Colbert as well) A...

Ha.. I a trying to imagine her cute furry face looking "gruff". She sounds like she knows JUST what to do to get what she wants. ha. (that a girl, Lily!) Amos is just a playful wretch, ha. He can't HELP himself. He tries to obey.. he TRIES to sit still.. or lie down. But if he even THINKS ...

Miss T.. ha.. I bet you are right.. they ARE smarter. ha. (they know all they have to do is look cute and give us "those eyes" and we are at the mercy. Ha. Jackie.. Maybe Amos and Lily are long lost cousins.. ha. (just like we are long lost sisters, I am sure) And that sounds like SOME fun...

Miss T.. I already sent you my condolences.. but will say again, how sad it was to hear of your sweet Abby. I know that even though you only got to see her once in a while, you will miss her a lot.. but will have some very dear memories to cherish, for sure. PS: Jackie.. I am pretty sure that Lily k...
