Watched "They Shall Not Grow Old" on Netflix last night. Thank you for the heads up. It is as good as all of you said it is. I've seen a lot of WWI documentaries and movies, but never felt this "close" to being there.- Fading Fast

Is it impossible for Joe to get an hour or two off for personal reasons? I know it's war work, but I doubt he's the only one who's ever needed a few hours off. Gray can't help himself.- Fading Fast

Sky Devils from 1932 with Spencer Tracy, George Cooper, William Boyd and (thank God) Ann Dvorak As great a star as Spencer Tracy would become, he and costar George Cooper were miscast as the male leads in Sky Devils, a farcical look at WWI. The picture needed a true vaudevillian comedy team...- Fading Fast

I've had this one on my to-be-seen list since it came out. You are motivating me to see if I can find it. I think it is hard to understand the world today if you don't having a working understanding of WWI and WWII, but as you note, few today care about WWI at all.- Fading Fast

1. I believe in Krause. I'd gladly put up the bail, that man is innocent. 2. "Thank you for the music box, Terry. I wish I had a box to give you for Christmas." 3. I hope Penny reads that classified.- Fading Fast

You could feel Sally's embarrassment so strongly that I think I was blushing with her. God love Alice, but she is not the most-aware person on earth. That is a wonderfully written scene. "whassat 'ob ske ne?' "Obscene," LOL- Fading Fast

"...but t'ey wouldn' let me drive no nails inna concrete." :) It is so perfect that Sally has a "Dorot'y Kilgallen" as a life foil. Annie needs to read up on "The Broken Window Fallacy" by Frederic Bastiat (shockingly, a French economist worth reading).- Fading Fast

Shield for Murder from 1954 with Edmond O'Brien, John Agar, Marla English and Caroline Jones (in a fun, small role as a prostitute) The thing about noir, for all its darkness, the good guys almost always win and the bad guys almost always lose - in the end. Until the late 1950s, that's what...- Fading Fast

LIttle does Alice know that she just auditioned to be a parent and Ma, who plays a great game of long ball, liked what she saw. Awesome writing Lizzie, kudos. The Krause and Frank scene was darn good too.- Fading Fast

The Man I Love from 1946 with Ida Lupino, Bruce Bennett and Robert Alda The Man I Love tries to tell too many stories, but solid acting and directing keep it from becoming a multi-car pile-up even when a few storylines get dropped or are too-easily resolved. It also helps having petite, pretty...- Fading Fast
