I really enjoyed your write-up. I watched the movie earlier in the year and like it like you and your wife did. My comments here: #31,263 (feel free to ignore, we all only have so much time).- Fading Fast

Since I'm caught up to the latest Clover Press release (which is up through 1940) until they release the next few years (should be this month or next), I've been reading through some of the bonus material they also sent (which is quite good). Below are two promotional items that Caniff did...- Fading Fast

I didn't watch it this time, but I've seen it a few times and agree. It's an outstanding movie that, for me anyway, gets better each time I see it. I don't want to spoil it for others, so I'll just note that the scene of the young boy alone on the pier is freakin' heartbreaking.- Fading Fast

Seriously, Milt, you couldn't have just implied this. No one needs this mental image in his or her head, do you hear me, no one! N.B. Fitz does look down an egg cream or two in weight.- Fading Fast

If all the regular Day-by-Day readers send you a dollar, would you promise to never have Alice call him Rosebud again? Heck, if we all send you two dollars, would you promise to never have Alice allude in any way to her sex life? (I'll tuck a fiver in my envelope for the latter one.)- Fading Fast

If Winter Comes by A.S.M Hutchinson originally published in 1921 The benefit of old novels today is both their entertainment value - novels are written to be enjoyed - and their window into a past era free of modern biases and agendas.

For fans of Day-by-Day star Gypsy Rose Lee who want to see her in a movie, she has a supporting role in 1958's "Screaming Mimi," a not-very-good Anita Ekberg vehicle I recently watched. At forty-seven in this one, Ms. Lee looks younger than her years, does a very modest dance number and...- Fading Fast

"Uncertain Glory" gets less attention from old-movie fans today in the genre of WWII propaganda movies than it should. It's a really good one. Flynn and Lucas are outstanding and have great chemistry, plus Lucille Watson (not Bucille, wartime replacements, sheesh) never gave a false performance...- Fading Fast
