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.
