One of a small number of movies (e.g., Casablanca, High Noon) I watch just about every time they’re on TCM. Never tire of the story and the music. Also, June Allyson is my all-time favorite girl-next-door type ;) ...despite her Depends...LOL!

It's very much the same with me. I probably know every line of "The Glenn Miller Story" but I never fail to watch it when it's on.

Likewise with "Jaws" and the innumerable times I've seen it. It somehow compels my attention every time it shows, especially the Indianapolis speech as told convincingly by Robert Shaw.

I love June Allyson.

Anyone for “Good News”?

Regarding the 1949 version of Little Women, Margaret O'Brian said that she was in awe of June Allyson when she played along side her in that movie because June could cry on demand and Margaret, being a young girl, hadn't mastered that art yet. Margaret also said that she was upset with Liz Taylor, who also played in Little Women, because just a few years before Liz would hang out with her, but in Little Women Liz had grown up to the point where she was more interested in Peter Lawford than she was in handing out with Margaret.

This was during an interview on TCM, BTW, when Margaret was quite old.

I always had a crush on June Allyson myself when I was a boy.
