One of my favorite Bob movies is being shown 'On Demand' on TCM through December 19th. It is the war classic June Bride (1948), a bickering war between international correspondent Carey Jackson (Bob) and his new boss and ex-lover Linda Gilman (Bette Davis). There is also the off-camera war between the two stars --- Bette very grudgingly agreed to working with Bob --- which seems to aid their performances.

Of course I'm partial to the "man's best friend is the apple" scene with Carey and Mr. Brinker (Tom Tully). And Bob's pratfall that ends the scene earns a 10, a perfect stunt. Do take time out of your busy season for an enjoyable movie, and a chance to see two pros do their thing.
