What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A Muppet Christmas Carol. Jim Henson's now infamous puppets, with the added benefit of Michael Caine as Scrooge. Childhood nostalgia at its best.- MissMittens

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
We just watched the Office Set, with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn starring as an efficiency engineer and a TV research department head respectively. Was a cute movie, with one seemingly unscripted moment where Tracy lampoons himself causing Hepburn to laugh uncontrollably. Reccomend- MissMittens

Murrow’s wartime connections with allied intelligence services is well documented. Was always of the impression Joyce was Irish, but you’re right, he was U.S. born...surprised me- MissMittens

Wikipedia is usually written by fanboys, lol!!! I'm neither as kind, or as gentle as Wikipedia is :p It's a great movie, I personally love it! But I think it was too close to the war in all honesty, and people weren't looking for feel-good drama for a few more years yet.- MissMittens

......and bombed. The really odd thing is that it didn't become popular until 1974, decades after it was made. After it's release, box office receipts left Capra over $500,000 in the hole. It was picked up by TV stations wanting to air a Christmas movie after 1974 because the copyright lapsed...- MissMittens

I did a little further digging as well, and found out that there were broadcasts made targeting soldiers deployed within Germany. There's a truly surreal 8 minute variety show-type reel in the Huntley Film Archives- MissMittens

Today in History
A little-known fact from the time is that Reichsrundfunk even had a regular scheduled TV service, and "viewing rooms" were initially set up for the public (but was apparently usually just low-level Nazi party officials and their families) for the scheduled 90 minute broadcasts. By the war's end...- MissMittens

Today in 1916, the Battle of Verdun ended with 330,000 dead. Parts of the landscape are still known as the "La Zone Rouge" in 2018, and are uninhabitable due to contamination and unexploded ordinance, including chemical agents. Some of these still spontaneously detonate, or are detonated by...- MissMittens

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I'm with Lizzie, it's completely tone-deaf. It's a Blackface routine to celebrate Lincoln's Birthday, the premise being the trope "Lincoln freed the slaves".....but perhaps equally offensive, is the literal and figuratively named character, "Mammy", played by Louise Beavers. The most confusing...- MissMittens
