The Big Sleep (1946). As great as the first time I saw it. Also saw The Fallen Sparrow (RKO, 1943), with John Garfield, Maureen O'Hara, Walter Slezak, Patricia Morison, Hugh ("Ward Cleaver") Beaumont, and John ("SGT Schultz") Banner. Garfield was good as a Spanish Civil War vet haunted by the "man with a limp," and O'Hara and Morison were gorgeous. Story was a bit muddled, though...but it held my attention.

Hogan's Heroes trivia: The Stalag XIII set was built on the Desilu backlot on the very site where Tara from Gone With the Wind once stood. The latter was dismantled a few years before.

As a HUGE Hogan's Heroes fan, I love seeing John Banner in his younger days. Quite handsome!

“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be...and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart...no matter what the merciless hours have done to her. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me; we were never meant to be admired-but it does to them.”

Hitler's Madman (1943) with John Carradine as Reinhardt Heydrich, assassinated by the Czechs. In reprisal the Nazis massacred the men of the town of Lidicea (unsure of the spelling) and shipped the women and children away. Carradine has a severe military haircut, slicked back, and dyed blond. It takes a few moments to recognize him.

I have loved John Carradine since my 'younger' days when I ''found'' him acting in horror films.

"Attack!" - Eddie Albert, Jack Palance, Buddy Ebsen and Lee Marvin. Great underated mid-1950's war pic. Just 10 years after WWII and other, more disturbing stories were finally beginning to be told. Great, great film done on lunch money, and directed masterfully by Robert Aldrich.

Just watched Casablanca on TCM God I love that film. I have it on Blue Ray but for some reason whenever it is on TV I have to drop everything and watch it.
