Today's feature is conservative patriotic funnyman Bob Hope's venture into the world of comedy film noir. Old Ski Nose plays a baby photographer who realizes his dream of becoming a private detective when he looks after the office of tough guy Alan Ladd. His "Road To" leading lady Dorothy Lamour plays his mysterious female client. It plays like a precursor to the Steve Martin film "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid."

mine was RED 2, which I didn’t see in the theater. I was an enjoyable follow up to REDS

I remember seeing that movie a long time ago. It was really funny. Bob Hope was really, really good.

Good movie, no doubt - but few are as good as TCM's prime afternoon show today, the haunting and mystical Portrait of Jenny - with a lovely score from the works of Debussy, striking cinematography, and Ethel Barrymore's smashing Miss Spivvey - you will believe that life is timeless.....

Glad to see the raters at TCM are giving it a well-deserved four stars....

I thought i would share some videos i feel are worth watching. Note that this does not mean i sanction all that such may contain, but they are clean and edifying. Finding free and legal videos outside preaching (which many on YouTube are not, but i trust these are) is not easy.

Very good message: Paul Washer, “How Much Do You Know God?” - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdArdf-Nm (others on sidebar)

And Faith like Potatoes is a wonderful movie to watch, esp. when you are too tired to do much else, of a story of real faith. Even though the source is TBN, which is a mixed bag, most of it flighty, etc. or fundraising in the name of faith. http://www.itbn.org/index/detail/lib/Networks/sublib/TBN/ec/1pNW8wMzoZPamWuHNvmRzOK5nJoY8k6k

And the famous The Cross and the Switchblade http://www.itbn.org/index/detail/lib/Networks/sublib/TBN/ec/JmMHQzMzoQuDLIvE-1X5Knsrdxm35Fkr

And Greater Love, a sweet “romantic drama about the reuniting of two separated “soul mates” and the obstacles they must overcome in order to be together again: “ http://www.itbn.org/index/detail/lib/Networks/sublib/TBN/ec/ZrOGcwMzrK910J_1avdqr52Xp59UyF83

And here is the inspiring The Keith Green Story (click “not now” on the pop up box) http://gnli.christianpost.com/video/the-keith-green-story-full-2080

Similar is the Venture in Faith, story of Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel:
http://calvarytraining.org/2013/08/09/a-venture-in-faith/

And a short one, The Bridge, a son must sacrifice his son to save others: http://www.itbn.org/index/detail/lib/Networks/sublib/TBN/ec/hqaHd5Mjr9jlPE71fpw10KBz7b1YkIrN

In the have not seen it yet category, First Fruits: The Moravians pioneered a mission movement characterized by extraordinary commitment. http://www.itbn.org/index/detail/lib/Networks/sublib/TBN/ec/dmNmcwMzojIIYKL1UJupyYoBBX4SbTMV

And the best Pentecostal preacher i know of:
Bert Clendennen, “Soldiers:” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Aks8izW2w
