Barbara Bel Geddes' father was Norman Bel Geddes.

He was an important industrial designer, 1920s through the 1950s, whose creations are sought after by collectors today.

Have you seen “Key Largo” or any of Ingmar Bergman? The latter shows why Sweden has such a high suicide rate. Almost makes want you you go to Ace and buy some rope!

I watched this on YouTube, I think last year.

I enjoyed seeing all the old actors I knew from

watching them when I was a kid. Like Richard Basehart,

from Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea TV show.
