Let's date ourselves and see who remembers staying up late on the weekends watching your local TV horror movie host in all its cheesiness and loving it. I watched Sammy Terry out of Indianapolis and, through travels. Houlihan and Big Chuck out of Cleveland and Chilly Billy out of Pittsburgh...
DON'T ORDER FROM AEF SUPPLY!!!
I, too, am in the market for one of these sweaters. I called the number on the website (which hasn't been updated for almost 3 years) and a woman answered. She gave me another number for Alan Crane which I called and have never gotten an answer, just as with...
Watch for the Burma Shave signs
I noticed it was the only movie I've ever seen the Burma Shave signs. This was, of course, at least five years after they disappeared from the road sides. They don't even show up in movies from the Burma Shave era. You can see them during one of the chase...
Great input everyone, thanks, and here's more!
Enjoyed the images and the links to the previous postings. Turner Classic Movies shows China Clipper (1936) with Humphrey Bogart and Pat O'Brien every few months. Look for the December, 1936 issue of National Geographic which has an article...
EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
...and the '20s and '30s. You won't be disappointed; some of the best parts are the contributions of photos and the stories behind them sent in by readers. There's even a 3-disc DVD set of the '40s. Here's the website: www.reminisce.com The same publisher...
Another 1971 production
"Von Richthofen and Brown" was made 37 years ago by Roger Corman (need I say more?) I don't remember much about this apparently forgettable flick other than I enjoyed watching the old planes in flight. Today the CGI technicians need to slow down the turns and...
Another unplanned landing...
Watch Tora! Tora! Tora! for the scene when one of the B-17's arrives on the islands and crash lands. That was not in the script. The ground crew got word that one of the landing gears was stuck, so the film crew had the plane circle until they were set up. Notice...

Also have a good book on this titled "Wings to the Orient" by Stan Cohen which I found at a museum gift shop at the Honolulu airport. There's a novel called "Night Over Water" by Ken Follett (Eye of the Needle) that takes place onboard a flying clipper over the...
old Banana Republic catalogs
I have about a dozen of these I've kept since receiving them in the mail when the store was original. It sucks now; a rehash of the Gap. The catalogs are 6" x 8" and have hand drawn pictures of the clothing and accessories with over the top descriptions...
try George Petersen...
at National Capital Historical Sales
He has eBay listings, most of which are in his online store so you can buy it now. He's about the only one offering reproductions in some of the most obscure emblems...
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but just wanted to post a reminder about this magazine for those of you who may not have heard of it. I just came from a flea market where I got 15 of the most recent issues for $7. Some great reading, research, and photos...and best of all no annoying...
I vote for Harlem Nocturne if all the legal ramifications can be overcome. It was written in 1940 by Earle Hagen, the "most famous composer nobody ever heard of."
Have either of these been discussed here yet? If not, someone take the point. Some of the second unit scenes from DiaBD were used in Ray. Ray also made use of original color cityscapes and footage with the bands vehicles inserted to a very well done effect.
excellent find...here's more
I recognized the Indianapolis shots since I'm a native Hoosier and used to live on the far west side of that city. Here're some more views of old Indianapolis. http://www.athsalumni.org/Oldviewsofindianapolis.htm
The Indiana Roof was the hot spot of the city...
Battle of Britain extras
See if you can find a book titled "Battle of Britain, the making of a film" by Leonard Mosley from 1969. I have a paperback copy, original price 95 cents. Also the 2 disc DVD version of this film has extras on the making plus full length commentary. The German planes...
Here's a couple of places you can copy/print old magazine ads. Some nice graphics.

Hoosiers and Eight Men Out
Both filmed in Indianapolis/central Indiana; I spent time doing both when they were there. More details later if anyone wants to hear them, just say so. Gotta hit the sack; getting up at 2:30 AM for a job in Charlottesville, Va.
