At the Movies

I have a secret thing for 1950's/1960's era movies.  I don't think I've ever admitted that...well, except maybe to Jeremy.

Doris Day, Cary Grant, Brian Keith are my true favorites!  And then there's also James Garner, Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara, June Powell, Sandra Dee and so many more!

And the movies!

Pillow Talk

With Six You Get Eggroll

Singing in the Rain

Please Don't Eat the Daisies

Spencer's Mountain

Move Over Darling

Gidget

Operation Petticoat, Father Goose, On Moonlight Bay, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Your's Mine and Ours, Flipper, and again so many more!  

You'll have to look them up yourself but, I remember watching some of these on a Saturday maybe Sunday afternoon when I was a kid and I don't know...they brought in such values, morals, principles (I'm big on those things) but, they brought family too.  Some in different ways than others but, be it Mr. Eckland and Catherine with all the girls stranded on an island or Gidget off chasing Moondoggie, while her dad is trying to set her up with someone more suitable, these movies are just clean and wholesome.  I like that.

I struggle with movies now.  New movies.  They just don't hold my attention.  They're either too fleshy, too bloody, too explosive, too corny, too over the top and I lose interest so fast!  Call me old fashioned...I don't mind.

Time's up.  The Bishop's Wife (I jumped back even further to 1947) is on tonight!
