#8  "it doesn't have the class of the original"

When today's Hollyweird is involved, Mike, it never does. :-(

#7  I've been in love with Nora Charles since the first time I saw The Thin Man, back in the Paleolithic.

#6  "The Best Years of Our Lives" has to be one of the best films ever made. If you haven't seen it, run to the nearest video store and find it.
Very underrated and very spot on for all of the veterans out there coming home to civilian life. Especially the subplot of the sailor coming home a double amputee to a girl friend and a planned marriage.

#5  ...If you've never seen Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, by all means try and find it - the book is pretty funny as well. It was later remade as The Money Pit with Tom Hanks, and though that's a hysterical film for anyone who's ever tried to rehab a house, it doesn't have the class of the original.

#4  If the pictures take your breath away, be sure to have a respirator available if you go see her movies. After playing a hottie before the Hayes Code, she is perfect in the Thin Man series and then after WWII plays the perfect wife perfectly in films such as the Best Years of our Lives, Mr. Blandings builds his Dreamhouse, and a judge in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.

#3  This lady is a definite WOW.

I rarely comment on these pictures, but this lady just takes my breath away. I have no idea why.

#1  I really liked her in the Thin Man series of films, but first fell in love with her in Batchelor and the Bobby Soxer.
