You gotta believe it! that Back To Bataan is good-even if you do get to see Anthony Quinn and Paul fix, pull the pins from grenades with their teeth - to which John Wayne always got blamed for doing.

Re: What have you been watching?
2 great movies last night! I can't remember the names though!?
The first was Harvey, I thinkf that's what it was called, about the big rabbit? The second one was a film with Orson Welles and one of my favorites, Rita Hayworth! A murder mystery kind of movie. Rita is very easy on the eyes!!

Re: What have you been watching?
Saw an old movie for the first time called "Berlin Express"...good post-war flick about a German kidnapped by Nazis and searched for by a group of allies (civilians and military) through the rubble of Hamburg. It was filmed on-site in 1947 and the ruins are amazing...both Hamburg and Berlin.
Berlin Express (1948)

If you want to see another great film that used actuial rubble from Berlin, watch: A Time To Love and a Time To Die w/ John Gavin, Lilo Pulver, Erich MAria Remarque (who wrote the books that they made movies from including this movie as well as his better known: All's Quiet on the Western Front.) Dand Jim Hutton, Jock Mahoney, Keenan Wynn, Thayer David and Don Defore.
If you want to see another movie yet, that shows real German City rubble-also watch the excellent movie: Decision Before Dawn w/ Richard Basehart, Oskar Werner, Hans-Christian Blech, Gary Merrill, O.E. Hasse, Til Kiwi and a very young Klaus Kinski, as the Whining Soldier.
There are others that show real rubble in Germany that I can't think of their names of but are excellent movies. I THINK one of them is called: The Search w/ Montgomery Clift. One that features real rubble from Italian Cities is: The Story of G.I. Joe w/ Burgess Meridith and Robert Mitchum.

Yes - I enjoyed it! It's been a long time though since I saw it on television.
Currently, I'm not getting to watch too much as my hubbie has the tv tied up with the countdown to the NHL playoffs!

And BOY do I remember it all too well! The World Premier of this movie was at the Cine 1 & 2 Theaters in Kingsville, Texas. I remembered it premiered on a Saturday at around 12 noon.
