Thanks for looking though! Say, who's your avatar?

It's Douglas Fairbanks Jr.! Of whom I am quite a fan, haha. Just watched him & Cary Grant in Gunga Din 1939, and now I'll be in a good mood for the remainder of the day.

Oh goodness, I love that movie!

Haha, my favorite part is where Errol steps into his New York gangster persona and gets more than he bargains for!

[David]

Oh haha! Errol Flynn imitating Bogart is the best!

Oops, didn't recognize Fairbanks Jr! Gunga Din is a pretty funny film, regardless of it's purpose as an action film

[R.C.]

In the last few days I've watched My Bill (1938) with Kay Francis and Dickie Moore; Half Angel (1951) with Joseph Cotten and Loretta Young; Casanova Brown (1944) with Gary Cooper and Teresa Wright (re-watch); This Is My Affair (1937) with Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck; and finally, taking Natalie's advice, Down to Earth (1947) with Larry Parks and Rita Hayworth (thanks Natalie!).

How was Down to Earth, R.C.? I haven't seen it, but have always wanted to

[Carmen]

The last few days I've seen Lifeboat, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and Paid (1930). I liked all of them, Paid in the third place, anyway. Anybody seen any?

[David]

I've seen the Snows of Kilimanjaro

[Carmen]

What do you think of it? I liked it. I expected much less of it, but it didn't disappoint me. I haven't read the book, but I can see it must be very autobiographic from Hemingway, right? Besides Gregor Peck's face being a pleasure to watch , his acting was very good. Susan and Ava do pretty good jobs too, and I would have liked to see much more of Susan, don't you? I'm sure you do.

[David]

I actually expected a lot more from the film - was a bit disappointed Susan had what - 15 minutes of screen time Ava was good in it though

[Carmen]

Yeah, I would have liked more Susan.

[SarLei]

I double that, Susan should have had a bigger part. I would have loved to see how she & Gregory became a couple, they both played interesting characters, so it would have been interesting. But Ava was great to see also.

Besides Gregor Peck's face being a pleasure to watch

Exactly what I felt Carmen.
