Yes Marian..................................................No, only kidding, as I have had the DVDs for a couple of months now. I have been watching them slowly, to breathe in the atmosphere of each film, know what I mean??
Ellie only made 13 movies in her career, I have 9 of them so far Marian. I will be watching them just now and again, as I don't want to get fed up of them, by watching them too often.

A few more Sinatra films, Lady In Cement- The Tender Trap-- Come Blow Your Horn--Four For Texas--The Pride And The Prejudice--The First Deadly Sin-- Suddenly-- all those mentioned great, but The kissing Bandit was one that even Frank often joked about Robin and The Seven Hoods with the Rat Pack members, plus Edward G Robinson is great but for us it has to be The Manchurian Candidate with Frank playing his role brilliantly. we thought was his best acting role of all.

Last film I watched on DVD was 'Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Wererabbit'! - that was a few weeks ago. It is an amazing piece of animation, lots of visual gags, and a very funny script too. On video, I watched 'The Sound Barrier' - a good old fashioned stiff upper lip 1950s movie, starring Ann Tood, Ralph Richardson and Dinah Sheridan, featuring lots of fantastic British aircraft from the 1950s including the futuristic De Havilland Comet, the worlds jet airliner. Yes - we did used to have an engineering industry! (yes, and I know the Comet went horribly wrong, and killed lots of people before any of you write and tell me!)
Marty - those are great Hitchcock movies you have mentioned. 'Stranger on a train' is a superb film, often overlooked I think, with a very creepy villain played by Robert Walker. a fantastic climax at the fairground too. His mother in the movie was played by Marion Lorne, who I loved in the part of bumbling Aunt Clara in 'Bewitched' - repeated recently on C4 in the mornings! Another 'useless fact' is that Alfred Hitchcocks, Patricia, played the 'kid sister' of Ann Morton in the movie.

Mike, my Sisters Brother- in-law worked for Geoffrey De Havilland, and as for Comet we have always blamed him for the MENTAL fatigue.
We do like the stiff upper British efforts like "Reach For The Sky."with Kenneth more as Douglas Bader winning the war all on his own and "Theirs is The Glory" documentary type with the men of Arnhem and General Montgomery and his airbourne division with his plan to fool the enemy. Great stuff!!
Ann Todd, her part in a film that stands out in memory, "The Seventh Veil" where she upsets James Mason and he upsets her by wacking his walking stick down on her hands and prevents her playing the piano again.
