Do you have a 'Special' movie?
jingles
On Friday afternoons one of our TV channels shows old British Movies
and today I watched my alltime favourite '39 Steps' with Robert Donat
and Madeleine Carrol - an Alfred Hitchcock special for those of you
younger members who may never have seen it...
It was made in 1935 and I am not sure why it is so special to me, but
I have seen it dozens of times and I have a video of it which I watch
at regular intervals. My dad was a movie fan and I started going to
the local cinema from the time I could feed under my mum's blouse so I
saw many movies in my earlier years....wish I knew why this one stayed
in my mind....
Anybody else have a movie they can't forget?

think it was in a cinema. I seem to remember it was under a canal
bridge.
There is one I have taped, and can always watch again, and I wish I
could remember what it was called!
DUEL! About a large truck threatening a motorist on a trip through the
desert/mountains.
TOUCH OF CLASS - Very funny romantic comedy but with some good messages
about affairs, (George Segal and Glenda Jackson).
BRIEF ENCOUNTER - Also hilariously funny, but for the wrong reasons
I watched it with my last girl friend and we both agreed that the story
line was rubbish.

1943? - with H. Bogart and a bunch of other fine movie actors of the 40s. I saw part of
it with my parents when I was 6 years old or so - at the point in the WWII North African
drama - when the tank crew forced an Italian captive off in the dessert - and he was shown
lagging behind sobbing and begging to be let back on the tank - knowing that if they left
him behind in the Sahara he'd soon be dried up and dead - I got so upset that I couldn't
bear to watch it anymore. We lived in Salinas, CA at the time and we had many wonderful,
happy, noisy, good cooking and gardening Italian neighbors - I was often watched by
Italian neighbors when my parents were off doing something without me - I loved Italians!
- so I guess this was why I became very upset and couldn't continue watching the movie at
that time. Now, perhaps 35 years later - I see SAHARA showing on late night TV when in
California - I begin watching the movie - remembering my earlier feelings - HOWEVER - it
turns out that when the Italian prisoner part comes along - I find out that in the next
few moments in the film (after I'd stop watching as a 6 year old) - good ole Humphrey
Bogart relents - and asks the Italian guy to climb back on board the tank - and they all
head off together into the dessert - ultimately Bogart and crew garner many more captures
- a whole company of lost but very thirsty German soldiers. - Wes/MO

That was a good movie, I always remember the look on the driver's
face as he kept turning his head towards the great truck looming
behind him.

This was a lovely movie, just right for romantic girls who went home
sighing...Yes! the story line was unbelievable, but when you are
looking for romance, does it really matter?
Most romantic movies depend a great deal on coincidences which most
likely would never take place....

You're right about the date Wes, it was made in 1943 and it had an
excellent cast....no women I think....and involved an American tank
crew outwitting the Nazis in the desert.
It was actually remade in 1953 as The Last of the Comanches...but this
time the location was in the US. A band of men and women trekking
across a desert to Fort Macklin... the enemy were Indians. Starred
Broderick Crawford and Barbara Hale...(Yup! this time they included
women <grin>)

Great cast, and a very poignant ending, as the German joins them for a

Was rather fond of those two actors myself Jan....as for films about
airman, well I think we girls all thought they were terribly
romantic creatures. Incidentally my 'aged aunt' worked for the Air
Ministry during the war and was acquainted with Douglas Bader.

I don't know of any ISP that cares a whole lot about its newsgroups, I have
Ameritech DSL which is now SBC DSL, they have also swallowed up Prodigy
which had swallowed up FlashNet which was my dialup ISP for years. Now they
have partnered with Yahoo for some functions. The small ISPs seem to be
getting devoured which is a shame because I think you got more service from
them, I know that FlashNet did a pretty good job on running their
newsgroups. SBC has a lot of members upset because they don't carry any of
the multimedia binaries groups and people think that should be part of the
service. SBC claims it is because of fear of copyright violations, but most
of us suspect that it is really a matter of server storage and bandwidth as
the files posted on those groups are very large.

Alas, it comes to us all! Robert Donat was a Manchester lad, born
1905. He was a chronic asthmatic but continued to work until his death
in died 1958. He last appeared as the Chinese mandarin in 'In Inn of

One of the nice things about being a grandma, is that you can fill in
those outlines and so long as you don't go over the edges your
grandchild looks at you with admiration......
Only two things I can draw...a cat and an angel.....did them on
David's chalk board at the weekend and he looked at me with
awe....Would be nice if he could stay two and a bit for ever <sigh>

surfaced:
A fellow artist friend of mine was offered a fancy job teaching a graduate class in
art at a noble Boston art institution. After accepting the job (and as it turned out -
only temporarily) he made a special request of his students at the end of the first day of
class: - "Now students - be sure and bring your new coloring books and crayons to our next
class - we're going to learn a most important artistic principle - one which might have
been left out of your previous curriculum - you'll practice with your crayons - 'staying
inside the lines'" <Har - Har!!!> According to this friend - tons of 'modern artists' don
even kno how to draw - yet - ??? - Go figure. <BG> - Wes/MO
La...@superworld.com
haven't learnt how to keep within the lines.<g>
My kids used to have 'magic' painting books where you just used plain
water and a brush. When the water touched the paper the colours
magically appeared. Even so, if you used too much water the colour ran
over the lines, as I found to my embarrassment when I had a go.

drawing one line at a time and do so quite deliberately and don't erase (use
ultra black India ink) - be sure that every line you 'see' is represented
there - and then lo and behold - you'll probably have a fairly interesting
drawing - with a style and 'tilt' all its own! Try this without 'prejudging'
- and you'll be amazed at how much you just might 'know' - and have known all
along even - about line drawing. Try drawing your family car this way - its
an easy subject - and it won't complain -no matter what - just rfemember -
put all the lines in. Landscapes however need to be simplified considerably
of course - one line can represent an entire forest - or a thousand little
waves on a quiet sea - eh wot? - perhaps? And then remember to report back to
us on the results - ok? All this - when you have time of course. Good luck

Thanks Wes, but on second thoughts, I think I'll stick with my
Ibuprofen.<g> I've been looking at the web site for "The
Incredible String Band". I must admit not having heard of then at all.
I used to be a fan of 'Five Penny Piece' a local group from Lancashire
who were very popular in the 70's. They sang in local dialect songs
they wrote themselves. If you wanted to learn 'Lanky Talk' that's the
stuff to listen to.<g.

Hi Wes....Now this sounds like excellent advice! I've printed it off so
that I can refer to it when I make my first 'deliberate' lines in ultra
black India ink. No erasing, eh? That'll be a 'first' for me! I shall
give it a go, old boy, and report back on the result of my best attempt!
