The original 3.10 to Yuma starred Glenn Ford, who was married to Eleanor Powell from 1943 to 1959

Thanks for that info Robert.
Glen Ford will always be Superman's Foster Dad to me

We knew that Marian, but had to think hard what we had for lunch yesterday.

Thats funny Lena & Harry.
Speaking of funnies, I've just watched a clip from a dvd with Norman Evans playing a housewife talking over a garden wall.
Laugh? I was on the floor.

"That's the third time on the same brick" had me in tucks!

I hope everyone knows what I'm talking about!!!

Good to hear you enjoyed Norman Evans and Gray I'm sure you knew the Great Les Dawson along with Roy Barraclough did a wonderful 'Over the garden wall ' routine based on Norman Evans ..... What truly great performers they were..Alas comedy these days is very thin on the ground..

Anne & David IOW

Yes Gray, Norman Evans .... heaving his large bosom back on to the brick wall,... and the cat wants getting rid of, he could smell it in the custard.

Anne and David, Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough were a scream. Les explained that when women talked about a womans marriage, pregnancy, or physical problem they always spoke about the person and then mouthed the final words, and sitting there in curlers and showing their large bloomers were a sight to behold.

We often wished we could have heard Les play the piano properly though without going off key .

I remember reading somewhere that Les dawson was exactly the same person off stage as he was on it.
What a laugh he must of been

Yes, Lena, the cat and the custard was on the dvd I saw

Brilliant

Actually Gray--yes he was-I saw him once at a celebrity golf match, with his young wife---they were in a golf buggy, and he was very funny-I have got a nice pic of them both somewhere!

I must admit that a lot of this is going over my head, as I have not seen any Norman Evans sketches but it sounds right up my street. I loved Les and Roy doing Ida and Cissy. Do you remember those cartoon-style Post Office ads they did a few years ago (well probably about 20 now

) - 'She only went in for a postal order'.

Les Dawson was a remarkable comedian, and personality, sadly missed today. His piano playing was remarkable!

I have finished viewing my 5 complimentary Blu-Ray discs and I still can't get over the clarity of this high definition format.

The movies are the 2 Fantastic Four movies, the 2 Alien vs Predator flicks and lastly but not least a movie partly shot in Kuala Lumpur starring Sean Connery and Caterina Zeta Jones.......Entrapment.

Looking forward to the day when Cabaret & Funny Girl are released on Blu-Ray.

Hi Terence

Is there a difference in sound also?
I remember reading that it is fully uncompressed on Blue Ray...don't know if that is true...

Marian
Wow! Nice to hear he was funny off-stage as well

Mike
I love Les Dawson also.

I remember the ads you refer to

Hi Gray

The sound was more solid and dynamic, much like in the cineplex. All my 6 speakers never sounded so good before!

'It's very clear.....Blu-Ray is here to stay'

I can sing this to the tune of "Our Love Is Here To Stay"!!
