Danny Kaye was brilliant. I love a bunch of his old movies. I remember watching them on Saturday mornings. I think the local PBS channel showed them. Either way, his movies were always amusing, and taught some sort of moral lesson (at least it seemed that way to me).DebHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-26740833682769799712012-03-31T22:15:51.149-04:002012-03-31T22:15:51.149-04:00Hahaha, Susanne.

I'll watch for it.<br /><br />Last weekend I wasn't feeling good, and hubby turned on one of my all time favorites, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. When it was over, the only movie I've seen more than that one came on, Wizard of Oz. Not really a comedy, but I love them both.<br /><br />I also really enjoy Cary Grant movies and HughSuzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-7566231467013926992012-03-31T16:08:07.641-04:002012-03-31T16:08:07.641-04:00Spoofs I love even better, and ones that poke fun ...Spoofs I love even better, and ones that poke fun at the very genre they represent all the more. <br />Yes I was fully aware that thre wasnt really a Roderick, would have been fun if there was though!Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-28893220720673895112012-03-31T14:20:56.989-04:002012-03-31T14:20:56.989-04:00Hope you find it, Deb.

Most of the songs are funny, but there is a "serious" section where Jean tells Hawkins that sometimes gentleness and kindness makes a man--a very rare man (as opposed to being a fighter).C.J.

Why is it that the industry has so much difficulty making movies that appeal to a broad audience now--when they didn't years ago? Is it just too much work or are they trying too hard to be "edgy"?C.J.
