I must be the only person in the world who has never seen the movie. Looks like it’s going to stay that way.
Any Three Stooges on TV over the next week or so?

You really should see the film at the very least, once. It is quite good. Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed are just fabulous. If nothing else it brings back memories of an America that once was.

Don't know. But will probably get the DVDs out. The stooges -- a classic. :)

I’ve never seen it either, I have not seen Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music etc, but I intend to catch up to the movies that almost all other people have seen.

Well, if you want Three Stooges, turn on the news. Dingy Harry, Lunch-bucket Joe, and Barry from DC will be on in seconds. . .

Buy the DVD... it’s a great, great film. You’ll love it.

Screw NBC.

I’m sur Obama, Reid and Pelosi will be on praising the Senate vote.

Then again Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow are on regularly.

You really should see it...it’s a cultural time-capsule.
And at the same time, it’s modern.

The Old Man Potter who trys to buy up/control the town (and of course,
the people in it) is a faint version of today’s Obama and Co. And their current power-grab of a large part of the American economy.

It’s a film that can provoke a lot of stong emotions and existential questioning.
Which might explain why the film was judged to be something of a flop
in it’s initial release. America was still tired of WWII and just
wanted to have some fun at the movies.

I’m 42 and probably have never seen more than 5 mins of this movie.
