Decision Before Dawn

Caught this on TCM recently. Very good movie. Never once thought I was "watching a movie". It seemed like I was watching real events unfold.

It was filmed on location in Germany, and the war, just being a few years before, brought a level of gritty realism to the black and white photography.

Christmas looked a little like this....

Soldiers Three

              Watched this today on TCM. Great stuff! Stewart Granger, Walter Pidgeon and David Niven among others. Funny....I'm a sucker for these movies, comedy or drama, about the British and their military exploits...

The Golden Mask





  Caught this movie recently on TCM. I couldn't help but wonder what it would look like if it was restored as the colors were all washed out. It is a technicolor movie and with the locations where it was shot I'm sure it was glorious at the time of its' release.

Beach Boys-Endless Harmony

Endless Harmony: The Beach Boys Story
Watched this on the Ovation channel over the weekend. Great stuff!

To me it points out how different the group was without Brian. In addition to his voice he was the genius in the studio that they sorely missed without him.
