Michael S: have you seen the NAZI PRISON ESCAPE documentary? I had assumed that that material was accurate. Any insight into this?

I am not familar with that documentary but I will look into it!

Many of my choices were in my LOST post....so I will say

another vote for
BRIDGE TO THE SUN....young American girl marries Japanese boy and moves to Japan just prior to Pearl Harbor...based on a true story

WHERE EAGLES DARE - improbably enjoyable adventure

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL - good Robert Wagner performance and an interesting story of Marines on an island

OPERATION CROSSBOW - another improbably adventure about the race to build a rocket bomb

DESTINATION TOKYO - Cary Grant on a submarine.

How could I have forgotten Where Eagles Dare! That is my absolutely favorite WWW2. i own it on DVD and when I want pure entertainment I watch which turns out to be about once a month or so.

Would THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK be considered a WWW2
I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart.

I wasn't sure when Cabaret was set, but I thought it was just on the cusp of WWW2

"On the cusp..." seems accurate. What we saw in Isherwood's stories, "I Am A Camera" & "Cabaret" was Berlin just before (1930-31)-- and then during -- the Nazis taking power (and establishing the Third Reich) in Germany -- circa 1933.

Since it is DR TCB's birthday today I thought i would electronically sing him our happy happy birthday song. It is a tradition at hollywood high school.

*sung in a solemn, monotone voice*
Happy birthday, Happy birthday
There is destruction and despair
People dying everywhere
*quick up tempo*
THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY SONG,
IT ISNT VERY LONG W00!

happy birthday!

Thank you, Adriana Patti, I am touched by the sentiment.

Name the night, and Jed and I will take you out for a celebratory dinner and/or ice cream. ColdStone sounds like a great birthday treat...

Thank you Dear Cyber-Daughter, Ann! And I will, of course, take you and son Jed up on the offer!

Happy Birthday TCB!!

I hope you have a very splendid day!

Thank you for the kind wishes, DakotaCelt. Don't over-work yourself so early in the school year.

I had a nice visit with Mr. Matt Ashford last night - he's busy rehearsing for Urinetown now, which I suppose I'll go see when it opens.

That would probably be better than waiting until it closes to see it.

TOD - I love THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES, too. And SINCE YOU WENT AWAY. FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. STALAG 17. THE GREAT ESCAPE. And so many others.
I re-watched many many WW II movies before writing my last TV-movie - which is about a family in small-town America during the war - mainly from a child's POV. It'll be aired in November. It was great fun writing it -- I've always wanted to write a 40's style film.

What network, Maria?

Hi all. I owe a very late but most sincere Happy Birthday to Dear TCB. I thought your birthday was today!

Please don't apologize to me, DR Danise. Good wishes from you are appreciated any day.

What's a "mini-frig"?

Is that...like...what we used to call "a quickie?"

If you can get a quickie at Home Depot, then I have been shopping at the wrong store!

Packaged up a bunch of orders - trying to decide if I want to brave the Post Office now or wait until the morning - probably the morning. All corrections are now present and accounted for, and tomorrow we design the book proper.

Ooo! Thanks! I hadn't thought of there. And there's one very close to where I live.

Where you live now; where you used to live; or where you are going to move?

All three! I'm actually not moving very far and will probably be pretty close to the same distance away from Home Depot from either place.

Come on guys! Glen Close has almost as many dalmations, as we have posts!!!

Right now, I'm on the west side of I-5, about 1 and 1/2 miles from the exit. I'll move to the east side of I-5 (practically on the same street), about 1 mile from the same exit...also much, much closer to my work.

One of the best things about moving will be when I have to go to the post office to pick up packages that require a signature. Right now, because I'm on the west side of I-5, I have to go to the West Olympia post office. It's six miles away from where I live and I have to take an extra long lunch to get there...traffic is horrible on the West Side at lunch time! But if I get the place I want, my mail would go to the Tumwater post office, which is only two blocks from where I live! I love that!

For those who need another recommendation for movies to watch:
In my list of WW2 films was "For A Lost Soldier". The same usual suspects might like to add that to their lists as well.

I've actually seen this. A very sensitive handling of a controversial subject (if I remember correctly).

T.O.D.

RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP

U-571

Hmm, three submarine movies! I wonder what Dr. Freud would say?

Sensitive indeed DR George.

Yes, you do remember correctly. A very nice film worth checking out. Anthony and I watched it a few years ago. We should look for it and watch it again.

Time for me to leave for the Hospital visits of the day.
I'm beginning to think I'll look good in white. I've been visiting a friend with suspected TB. He's been cleared of that now so at least today I shall not to be masked! (Which may be even scarier).

Thursday greetings! Don't know why it's taken me so long to log in here today - did y'all miss me?

TOD - I posed this question at the dinner (linguini & chicken, salad) table. DH Richard's choice: The Bridge on the River Kwai; DS Rob's choice: U-571; my choices: Patton and The Diary of Anne Frank.
