Surprisingly I've not seen a lot of Kirk Douglas films over the years.

His later 80's and onwards were not very good with the exception of a tv version of Inherit the Wind.

But to play it safe:
Spartacus
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

two others stick in my mind, but only saw them once

a tv musical adaptation of Dr, Jeklyn & Mr. Hyde. Score I think was Lionel Bart
The list of Adrian Messinger a film with a gimmick that I am not sure will hold up to a second viewing

Good morning, all! I think I had a dream in which DR Ginny and I were partners in a game show; my only real memory of it is that I was doing somethng matching up CD cases and covers. It's quite vague at this point.

This morning, another McGlinnventory day, followed by edits with Mr Skip Kennon at Toyland. On my way home I need to stop at a pharmacy for a new toothbrush and some laundry and household cleaning products. I'm pretty much sruck home tomorrow waiting for Fed Ex to pick up these eight cartons going to Ohio. Who knows? By tomorrow I may have nine. Or ten!

TOD:
20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, which led to my seeing
ULYSSES, which led to my reading Homer and to my college B.A. degree in Classics and Latin
GREEDY, based on Charles Dickens' "Martin Chuzzlewit"

I agree that PATHS OF GLORY is a great film, possibly Kubrick's best.

On the other hand, because of the depressing subject matter and the ending, I find it a difficult film to watch. I've been avoiding watching it again it for years.

I believe that tonight's THE APPRENTICE is broadway related. My paper's description says that the teams have to raise money for a new broadway musical. And that Kristin Chenoweth is the guest judge! My favorite contestant is Montrealer Stephanie.

I forgot all about DETECTIVE STORY. Love that one.

I was in a stage production of that once. We did it in West Seattle at the old Boards Theatre.

We have a situation with postage today, something I've been trying to tell the helper needed to be dealt with long before the CDs arrived, but she waited until the last minute and now we have a situation. She's been so great I'm not going to make a deal out of it other than to say it can't happen this way again - I know what I'm doing in regards of being proactive and it must get done the way I say - we certainly could have avoided this problem - everything will still get shipped today - it's just going to take longer - one of the things we've been doing is switching everything to the Internet so the Pitney-Bowes machine can go away and it all has to do with that.

Hmmm. . .could this mean someone is using PayPal's multi-order shipping?

Getting ready to listen to Stephen Sondheim on Fresh Air. Then at 4pm I'll watch the Sound of Music reunion on Oprah and at 10 pm the Broadway episode of The Apprentice. In between, a 30-minute walk around the basement - too windy outside!

Just had two bad Ebay experiences yesterday....two vintage Bollywood movie posters arrived badly damaged because the seller used a plastic tube, rather then the hard cardboard tube he normally uses, and the tube shattered during transit

..and a Covina Pottery planter I sold on Ebay, and packaged very well (I thought) and even marked as fragile, arrived at it's new owner's home in several pieces.

Actually, I guess this would be two bad USPS experiences...what in tarnation do these people do with packages in transit, anyway!

In all my years of Ebaying I have not had these things occur before.
