Yepper so good in fact they used it frame for frame in the David Niven Errol Flynn remake 9 years later. All they did was reshoot the interior shots and cockpit close-ups.Dawn Patrol (1930) w/ Richard Barthelmess, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Neil Hamilton, dir. Howard Hawks. Some of the aerial footage is astounding.
I'll have to watch that one. Guy Madison lived not far from me in the last years of his life, and was a longtime friend of my grandfather. I'm ashamed to say I've seen very few of his movies. He went out at the same hospital where I came in. Frank.
Eight Men Out. No matter what you think of the Black Socks World Series...
The scandal typified the basic Sox character. The Cubs on the other hand would never have sold out the World Series.
Instead, the Cubs are hexed by an evil spell:eeek: that remains unshakable, cannot be broken, and has plagued the team for years.
The Cubs nevertheless continue to pursue excellence on and off the diamond, and, unlike the White Sox, are admirable role models.:eusa_clap
Three different versions of "A Christmas Carol" aka "Scrooge" on TCM last night. I was "down with the sickness" for the last couple of days and sat lumpified on the couch. The 1938 version wuz pretty good and I must admit I liked Albert Finney's portrayal more than I thought I would. But his humpbacked mumbling Ebeneezer was had to follow.

Living with my girlfriend - she loves herself a good Christmas Special - I think we have seen every version of "A Christmas Carol" ever done. Just from memory, my favorite versions are 1951's starring Alastair Sim and 1999's (TV's version) with Patrick Stewart (that is a voice for Scrooge and a very believable conversion) with a close third going to 1938's Reginald Owen one (but, if memory serves, also hard to hear the dialogue).
Sims is my fave as well. I didn't buy the Picard one for some reason... Too much Trek I suppose. Reginald Owens is a distant third for me. Bill Murray's "Scrooged" is a solid second. Rarely has an oft told tale been "modernized" so well.
