Loved them, and the self-cameo he would use. I think my favorite was "Rebecca", or maybe "Rear Window", or "North by
Northwest", or...or....
Loved his television shows as well. I'll never forget the one where the wife killed the husband with a frozen lamb roast, then served it to the unknowing investigators!

Is chili considered soup? It's slightly preferred over my nearly favorite, most any kind of meat in vegetable soup. Although, good chicken wild rice is probably tied with it. Actually I prefer soups to be more like a stew. Thick, so you can stand a spoon upin it, hearty, and good sized chunks. Crackers, toast or bread?

I finally accepted the idea that I should change what I can, let go of what I can't and have the true wisdom to know the difference. This new way of life has had a dramatic effect on my ability to be content and relax to enjoy happiness.

Not that I can recall. The Bataan Death March ... and the years following ... was hell for those who went through it. When I went to Korea, in `53, just over 10 years later, we left Los Angeles by freighter and travelled on the Great Circle route, far north of Hawaii (put a string on a globe) ... for 18 days out of sight of land ... which gives one direct proof of how large the world is. As we approached the Phillipines, a typhoon was building and we went down the west side of Luzon, then turned in to 30-mile long Manila Harbour ... so the first sight of land that I had in the Orient was ... Corregidor, the rocky island fortress at the outer end of the harbour ... where the last surviving U.S. Army people holed up, following the Japanese invasion. It made a major impression on me that, apart from the results of World War II, we could not have been in that part of the world, helping people develop a better life. Had our ship been in those waters, ten years earlier ... we`d have been sunk ... or interned! And much of our work originally, just after the Korean War, was helping people who had left their home areas as refugees, as a result of political divisions and war, with nothing but the clothes on their backs, as they tried to get their lives back in some kind of order ... in an area much of which had been badly battered, fought over 3 or 4 times. Not a pleasant experience. Let us commit ourselves to seeking ways to build bridges of understanding between peoples, rather than warfare. May you have a blessed Easter ... if Easter is important to you. ole joyful

"Rear Window", "To Catch a Thief" and "North by Northwest". And I second the nomination of 'swoon worthy' for Cary Grant. Not only was he one of the most handsome men on the face of the earth, but he had great comedic timing, as well. Remebber "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House", "Bringing Up Baby" and "Arsenic and Old Lace"? And it's known that he was as kind as he was handsoms. What a combination!

"No money, no material reward is comparable to the praise, the shouts of well done and accompanying pat on the back of one's fellowman. Applause and laughter in the theater have a similar effect; and sometimes, today, I stand with Russell Downing, the manager of the finest, largest cinema in the world, the Radio City Music Hall in New York, in a quiet darkened corner, and listen to that huge audience roaring with laughter at something I've done, the tilt of my head or a facial reaction, and joy seems to burst within me."
-- Cary Grant 1963

Rear Window was a masterpiece of movie making! I am not a huge fan of all his work by any means, but that particular movie was simply wonderful to me. I also thought that the old black and white television mystery show he used to sponsor was good -when they show old "Alfred Hitchcock presents" shows, I usually will watch it for awhile. It's been only in the last ten years that I felt it was now showing it's age and becoming irrevelant but the tv show did hold up well for a very long time.

"Mr. Blanding builds his dream house" - we watched that together for the first time in the early 90's - just as we were getting this one. We cried with laughter - and then we just cried *LOL*
