What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
One of my favorite Hitchcock films, he really captures that hometown Americana of the 1940's. I agree Teresa Wright is wonderful matching the charmingly evil Uncle Charlie wit for wit.- Mike1939

I can see a strong resemblance of Tom Conway in the photo of your father. If you have not seen it already keep an eye out for the film Two O' Clock Courage (1945) directed by Anthony Mann and starring Tom Conway as a gentleman with amnesia and Ann Rutherford as a cabbie helping him unravel the...- Mike1939

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Falcon movies are my cup of tea. Mr. Conway's brother, George Sanders, started the series in 1941 after leaving his role as Simon Templer in the Saint films. In the forth Falcon movie, 'The Falcon's Brother' (1942) Tom Conway appears to take over the role of the Falcon. Both of these chaps...- Mike1939

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
Marc, I didn't know John, yet after checking out the links you posted I can see he was a kindred spirit. Maybe I'm too emotional but it's left me with a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach. My condolences to all his friends and family.- Mike1939

A great hardboiled writer. I found out about Goodis from watching the movie Dark Passage with Bogey and Becall. I like the common theme in his work of the guy down on his luck or hitting rock bottom and then having to pull it together to get out of a jam.- Mike1939

He Ran All the Way (1951) with John Garfield, Shelly Winters, Wallace Ford, Selena Royale, Gladys George and Norman Lloyd. I'm a big Garfield fan haven't seen a picture of his yet that I don't like. In this one (his last movie) he plays a two bit crook who bites of more than he can chew. An...- Mike1939

LA in the 1940's
San Francisco is lousy with street cars and don't mean cable cars. There's a whole mess of old street cars from around the nation being used on Market street. I remember hopping on one at the Ferry Building and riding all the way down to the Cafe du Nord to see Lavay Smith play. The street car...- Mike1939

The Glass Heart (1946) by Marty Holland AKA Mary Holland who also wrote Fallen Angel. She is fast becoming one of my favorites, unfortunately there are only a few of her books out there and little information on the author. Is anyone else a fan or have any info on this classic hard boiled writer?- Mike1939
