CLASSIC MOVIE ALERT!!!

[Dan McEntee]

   I am a fan of old movies of all kinds. Like the saying goes, they don't make them like the used to. Now one knows how to write these days or make anything that does not rely heavily on computers!! In about an hour, at 9:00 PM CDT, Turner Classic Movies is presenting the classic movie "Tarnished Angels"  based on the novel by William Faulkner. I have an old first edition of the book but have yet to read it. Pretty good movie  for the time period about air racing in the Cleveland era. Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone, and Jack Carson are featured, all top actors in their tome. I haven't seen it it a long time , because I don't think it's been on in a while, and you might only see it on a channel like TCM .
   Type at you later,

The wife has it set to record.  Royals are playing trying to not give the ball game away.

As an FYI, the movie is also on YouTube.  It's only 480p, but it's on demand.  I'm finding a lot of old movies I miss are on YouTube.  Just a couple of days ago I found that "The Canterville Ghost" starring Charles Laughton is on YouTube.  I've been searching for it for years.

The version of 'The Tarnished Angels' that I found on YT was a small partial screen version....hard to watch.  Here's a better version.

Thanks Steve. That was a fun one! Do you think they really wrecked "real" planes? Or models?

Cheers, Jerry

Hi Jerry,

I haven't had a chance to watch the movie yet, but when Dan recommended it, I went out and found it online (I don't do 'TV') so I could watch at a later date.

Finally watched the movie this AM.  Typical hollywood.  As I said to the wife at the Olathe airraces  quite a few years ago they had a minimum flying altitude.  The pilots that flew those races had to have nerve to fly like they did back then.  The plane that Laverne and her son flew home on was that a forerunner of the DC-3?  Still love the old movies   At least the crash scenes were not computorized.
