The Era -- Day By Day
Frank and Doyle's conversation today is freakin' hilarious. They are all insane these people and they are all like the people I grew up with (my Dad's and grandmother's friends, not the kids I grew up with). You have to have known people like this to know, truly know, that there are people like...- Fading Fast

Supernatural from 1933 with Carole Lombard, Vivienne Osborne, Randolph Scott, Alan Dinehart and H.B. Waner For fans of horror-movie history, Supernatural is one not to miss.

No Questions Asked from 1951 with Barry Sullivan, Arlene Dahl, Jean Hagen, Howard Petrie and George Murphy In movies, insurance companies are much more interesting than they are in real life.

I saw it a long time ago, so my answer is from a distant memory, but yes, I believe it is the "good dictator" fantasy argument that some indulge in: It is the belief that the "right" strongman will fix all the problems that our "muddled" democracy can't handle. Of course, once all that power is...- Fading Fast
