    The Era -- Day By Day

    Mrs. Brown: "Hmm, this riding on the handlebars is better than I thought it would be." Timmy: "Sorry for that bump." Mrs. Brown: "Ahh, don't be." Timmy: "Huh?" Mrs. Brown: "Oh...uh...nothing." Timmy: "We're here, Mrs. Brown." Mrs. Brown: "Not yet, you men always say that before it's true."...

    That's great. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that it sparked a renewed interest in you for the classics. There are a lot of good Ford movies, as well, out there for you to discover. To your husband's point, I'm always "amazed" at how good everyone's teeth looked the "Old West."

    "DON' STAN' AROUN' GASSIN', GET T"YA BENCH!" That is freakin' hilarious. Alice better not push Sally too far as Sally is as close to a breaking point as a person can get. Tell me you'd have casual sex with a sailor without telling me you'd have casual sex with a sailor:

    3:10 to Yuma from 1957 with Glenn Ford, Van Heflin, Felicia Farr, Leora Dana, Henry Jones and Ford Rainey 3:10 to Yuma is a wonderful morality tale, the Western's stock-in-trade. It's a good-versus-evil story that still causes your allegiances to shift here and there, because it mixes in...

    I'm with Sally, there's a story behind Kelly just quitting like that. Sounds like Alice is going to find out why first. "He envisions 'streamlined, noiseless cars'..." It's 2024 (eighty years to the day later) and we New Yorkers are still waiting for those "streamlined, noiseless cars." "I...

    Let's run Sandy's "arf!" here through the dog-to-human translator: Arf = Nertz to that, Boxcar Annie. You can stay here if you like, I'm going to look for a Pullman sleeper.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    In my Clover Press read, I have a feeling I'm just about to meet Cherry and the Captain, whom I first met when these Day by Days started, but as always, your reviews are very helpful. Also, I just met Sanjak, quite the character. I know you explained this to me before - International touchiness...

    "But that was the back door -" "Of course - and it's a secret - just between us!" "But we're going to serve ice cream right here in the canteen." "Later, I hope right now we have some dancing to do -" This all can't be innocent wording by Monte Barrett; he had to do this intentionally.

    Notorious from 1946 with Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains and Leopoldine Konstantin A funny thing about Alfred Hitchcock movies is that almost all of the pictures from the "master of suspense" are really love stories with a suspense wrapper. Notorious is one of his best movies in no...

    SIC 'EM SANDY! I SAID "SIC 'EM!" "Are you nuts!? He's probably got a gun. This is exactly why I wanted to stay back until you got settled in. You sic 'em; I'm all for negotiations and appeasement."

    "Let's slow down for a moment here, Annie. Turk isn't after me. So why don't you go and find our new setup while I stay here in comfort, umm, keeping an eye on Turk. Then, once you are established, you can send me a ticket - Pullman car, please - and I'll come. No use in both of us roughing it...

    Prosperity from 1932 with Marie Dressler, Poly Moran, Anita Page and Norman Foster You don't usually turn to MGM for Depression Era grit, but in Prosperity, MGM employs one of its big stars of the day, Marie Dressler, to take the audience through an all-to-real run on a bank and its...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    That's very funny as I was really surprised when I read your previous post and you said you saw a 1943 movie on an international flight not long after it came out. Showing that one's mind can fill in blanks that aren't there, I assumed you meant after a recent rerelease of the movie on Criterion...

    I'm sorry, did you say something after "Hu Shee?" Pat is clearly Caniff's idea of the perfect man - a big, strong, curly haired good-looking guy who is a global adventurer, but one who can clean up and hang with the swells for a night if he wants to. I'd bet Caniff has a quite nice wardrobe as...

    It's not a small investment - you can, though, buy just the years that pre-date the start of these Day by Days - but you are someone I would encourage to buy the Clover Press editions of the original "Terry and the Pirate" strips (as I talked about here: #9,346 ). I think you would...

    "My name's Emil. Ev'rybody knows t'at." "I didn't," shrugs Miss Kaplan. :) If you've ever had to negotiate a deal with a deeply insincere and dishonest person like Trix, you realize it's futile because they simply assume your good will and attempts to build trust are just tricks because that...

    The Thomas Crown Affair from 1969 with Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway and Paul Burke If you suspend a little more disbelief than usual and just soak up the 1960s cool factor and style, The Thomas Crown Affair is an enjoyable fairytale of crime, money, luxury, sex and fashion. Steve McQueen plays...
