If your a Richard Basehart fan, try watching: "Decision Before Dawn" which is also out on DvD as of about a year and a half ago.

Recently watched Robert Ryan in a great postwar filmed on location in Germany, movie called: Berlin Express. I THINK this one might be on DvD but not 100% sure?

Also watched: The General Died At Dawn w/ Gary Cooper. This one has him out-witting Chinese Militia.

The General Dies at Dawn is not a Western nor really a war movie. It's basically about some people who are trying to make average Chinese citizens to take up "arms" against an evil ""War-lord"" and overthrow him and his regieme. It's not a great movie but, it's not bad either. This is a mid to late 1930's Gary Cooper movie. Anyway, it's worth havinig in any movie collection.

Last night I finshed watching: Stargate and then watched: The Bedford Incident. Started season 3, of Daniel Boone--today. ;-))

Saw what apparently was a mini-marathon of Don Knotts movies last night and into the morning. They are: The Reluctant Astronaut, The Shakiest Gun in the West and How to Frame a Figg? It was nice a change of pace.

Rest in Peace Don-you are sorely missed.

I was upset last night with the episode of John Adams. It was a perfect set-up to educate people of both the XYZ Affair and the Quasi War. They missed it completly. I don't think there should have been much, but just enough to make people ask questions about it.
