FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
There is another crack at democrats he made in a
movie about the Alaska gold rush too.
hats off to the writers
Never gets old
That WAS a long time ago. No such thing would be allowed on film in this day and time. lolol
That movie would be Road To Utopia.
Back in the day you could have a light touch with politics because getting it wrong didn’t mean total disaster for the country. What once was light chitchat now has existential significance.
Or maybe it’s usually this way? Maybe being on the precipice is the norm. Maybe the relative sanity of the ‘40s and ‘50s was exceptional.
That never fails to make me laugh!
Actually, this movie was: “Ghost Breakers”. Absolutely excellent movie.
Sal and Chester Hooton (Lamour and Hope), an old married couple, are visited by their equally old friend Duke Johnson (Crosby), and the three reminisce about their previous adventure in the Klondike. The film flashes back to the turn of the century. A man is murdered and two thugs, McGurk (Nestor Paiva) and Sperry (Robert Barrat), steal a map to a gold mine. The map and mine belonged to a man named Van Hoyden and the dying man tells Sal (Van Hoyden's daughter) the mine is in Alaska and to find a man named Ace Larson. Sal manages to get on the last boat to Alaska before McGurk and Sperry.
Unfortunately, dead Republicans come back as Democrats
Dead anything come back as Democrats, even before they come back. 8>)
