The view from the Anglosphere

We’re doing maintenance on our local network this weekend so there may be delays in getting back to you but, I will eventually. There is no real theme this Saturday, just a combination of songs and movie clips that I love.

A wonderful selection my dear friend. I adore John Wayne, as you know, and ‘True Grit’ is my favourite. I cried at ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ – Daddy used to play it to me when I was a tiddler. And as for Casablanca – swoon🙂 x

Ha, true Grit was for you, I like some others as much, they’re nearly all great.
“Puff”, I’ve loved since PP&M did it. First as a children’s song and as my understanding developed the deeper meaning hiding in it, about growing up, and old, and loss of friends. It’s a tear-jerker.
Never been and never will be a movie as good as “Casablanca” Great romance, great setting, and great lessons, all in one.🙂

Yup – a really great post – such fun. I must see if we’ve got TG on disc – I’d love to see it again.

I imagine it’s available, although I don’t have it. I need to see if I still have 12 O’clock High, I think I have the tape. I also need to find my VCR.🙂

When 12 O’Clock High came out, my brother and I went to see it 13 times at the theater. Movies were cheap back then and we loved good war movies.

The neat thing about 12 O’clock High is that the authors both served in 8th Air Force in the war, they knew whereof they spoke.
