"Blithe Spirit" with Rex Harrison is entertaining, and I see that there is a remake in the works for 2020 starring Dan Stevens of Downton Abbey fame. Rex Harrison was wonderful in "My Fair Lady", as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271695637387564905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-37619380384466345422019-10-10T19:26:22.487-04:002019-10-10T19:26:22.487-04:00I just thought of another one of our favorite ones...I just thought of another one of our favorite ones Desk Set with Katherine Hepburn.

Some of our favorites are McClintock with John Wayne, Friendly Persuasion with Gary Cooper and Sgt York with Gary Cooper and The Major and the Minor (I can't remember who played in it) I am sure that they would either nix them or make them too racy!

Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison", starring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr, about a Marine and a nun stranded on an island in WW II. He falls in love with her but is very respectful always and accepts that she will not abandon her vocation for him. It is a delicate love story and also an adventure story, always in good taste -- very subtle and well done. Today the story would have been totally steamy and undoubtedly X-Rated.

I'm going to put it on my movies-to-look-up list! <br /><br />I had not heard of the others, but Father Goose in particular looks good. <br /><br />One of my favorite old movies is Penny Serenade with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. He meets her in a record store, where, in that time, you could have someone play selections from a record for you. So he grabs a whole stack and asks her to play them. I don't know how they'd redo that scene today, with digital music. But then different songs from that era intersperse the different stages of the couple's life. They fall in love, marry, face tragedy, but he's still immature. They adopt a little girl, and in the process he grows up a lot. The whole adoption situation would probably be different today, too. One of my favorite scenes is when Irene has to give the baby a bath for the first time, with her husband and all his coworkers (they have printing press in the house) looking on. She confesses that she doesn't know what to do, and she's scared and nervous. Then one of the men, who had been a farm boy, I think, takes over. The scene sounds a little strange today, but it was cute and innocent then. Overall a very sweet movie.Barbara Harperhttp://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
