Ah, those lucky young men that ended up in Antarctica for their tour of duty... poor, poor souls.
TCM is showing The Secret Land (1948) until March 31st, if you are so inclined to watch military exercises in Antarctica. This documentary is well done, and it is always great to listen to then Commander Robert Montgomery. It's just not everyone's cup of tea.
I just noticed something checking out IMDB --- the director's name is Orville O. Dull! Too much.
Back in the day, a cold was almost nothing to handle. Now I'm just happy to survive another day.
Meanwhile ... Mister Roberts (1955) has always been a favorite of mine. Starring four excellent actors, I'm most appreciative of Mr. Cagney's effort as the dictatorial Captain. And I'll always love just anything Mr. Powell contributes on the big screen.
Meanwhile ... that's all I can handle for now. Hoping life returns next week!
Adolphe Menjou, suave, debonair and a tailor-made scene-stealer, was born February 18, 1890. When changing studios during his career, it required trucks to take his wardrobe with him.
Dapper, well-dressed, no matter his age.
... And hamming it up as Nicolai Nicoleff in Gold Diggers of 1935.
An absolutely beautiful card received by my maternal grandmother in 1911. And, no, it was not sent by my grandfather to be. Grandpa was a good farmer but did not have the feminine touch to choose this.
