[mopinko]

i didnt realize that when i started posting to fb today about the morning movie.

made the following 3 posts.

srsly, "hollywood canteen" is a wonderful movie.
they dragged out an old robert osborne intro for it, telling how this was basically a true story. about a uso canteen that hollywood opened to thank the troops.
what a cast.
what a story. finely polished script.
bette davis was apparently the force behind it all.

great music, too. big bands. roy rogers, lol, singing "dont fence me in". i had to sing along w that one. one of the discs i have repeated a brazillion times is an aids fundraiser of cole porter tunes. david byrne does a great version of it. the drums. oh. the drums.

a good old b&w hollywood show.
