Netflix doesn't have "Dust Be My Destiny."

I haven't heard of it, but I'm not an expert on classic movies.

It was a new one on me, too. I only printed it out for posting because the photo of John Garfield caught my eye. I just started focusing on his work this year. (2009, not 1939.)

Reporting back on "Eternally Yours," which we viewed last night.

"Amusing and irresponsible," B.R.C's verdict, is a fairly good summation. I was a little concerned about Loretta Young's character marrying and divorcing and remarrying, as I have heard she applied her orthdox Catholic standards to her movie-making. Turns out the script was manipulated so that her original marraige to David Niven ("The Great Arturo") was legit but the subsequent Reno divorce "wasn't worth the paper it was written on." I'll wager the actress had something to do with that detail.

Not a bad movie, but nowhere near as good as the next film where Young and Niven played husband and wife - "The Bishop's Wife," Of course, Cary Grant had something to do with that.
