There are two more movies that I would add to my list...I am watching one right now...and some people hate this movie, but I love it....Its 'Arsenic and Old Lace' with Cary Grant...some people were discussing the movie, and they mentioned, that Cary Grant was not the directors first choice for the film...his first choices were Jimmy Stewart or Bob Hope...seems that they could not make the film, because this was during the time when actors were contracted to different movie studios and could not get out of their contracts to make films for other studios...hence Grant got the role...supposedly, tho the film was a big hit, and is considered a classic, Grant himself was not happy with his performance, still believing that Hope or Stewart would have done a better job...in addition, Grant donated his entire salary to some sort of relief effort charity that was doing work he approved of, during WW11

My other favorite film is 'Harvey', with Jimmy Stewart...I love that movie as well, and watch it whenever I get the chance...

Seems I love many of the old movies...

This is getting spooky. Harvey is one of my favorites and I will probably get it for Christmas. Loved AAOL as well. We're on the same wavelength for movies is all I can say. I hope you have a good evening and thanks for posting.
