Have at it!
Best Years of Our Lives, 1946
GWTW-—of course!
I love...”I remember Mama” with Barbara Bel Geddes. Not sure if that’s spelled correctly and there were quite a few stars in it. Barabara Bel Geddes grew up to play the mom in the tv show Dallas! I haven’t seen it in a long time but would love to see it again!
I did enjoy “Double Indeminity”. 1944
Yikes! Looks like I’m the only one so far brave enough to answer. Not that I saw it when it came out——too young, but my favorite was Laura—1944
That one was good. I remember, in the days before cable, old movies would be played late at night. I watched ‘Mr. Blandings builds his dream house”, and enjoyed it. I am thankful, looking back, that I didn’t have a choice of ten thousand different channels because I would have skipped right past them.
Citizen Kane
Some old movies and old TV series (like the 1970 PBS Wives of Henry VIII) have been broken up into 10 min. segments and put up on youtube. I’m watching Elizabeth R (Glenda Jackson) right now in youtube clips - a few each day. I read that I, Claudius is also up on youtube.
So check for I Remember Mama.
