Old Movies...

Watched two movies last night. Okay 1 and a half movies. One of the good things about older movies is that you see actors that have gone on to bigger and/or better and/or worse things "before they were stars" (or some such crap).

For instance in the Jimmy Cagney film I just recently watched, James Frawley was in it. Otherwise known as "Fred" from I Love Lucy. Frawley was a well known comedian who always played the buddy or a member of a group. Chances are he was more famous than Lucy when her show hit the airwaves.

Last night was no exception. Watched a short film (62 minutes) called: "The Great Mike" about a racehorse named "Mike" - now how many racehorses out there have the name "mike" or "susan" or "steve?" They all have multi-syllable names like: "watcherfly" and "speedupandpassyourass" or some such name like that. Well, getting back to the point, GUESS WHO WAS IN IT! None other than "Alfalfa" from the "Little Rascals" - of course at this point he was 15 or 16 and just a few years away from getting gunned down but, still, nice to see him.

Then I watched half of a film called "Three Guys Named Mike" (not about a horse). This film starred the FIRST Mrs. Ronald Reagan: Jane Wyman. It's about stewardesses (stewardi?) who work for American Airlines. It's pretty much: "how to be subserviant to men and passengers but still be cute and bubbly" - if it was made today it would star Gwenyth Paltrow and Alicia Silverstone and there'd be some hot lesbian action - well, I could hope. Anyway, getting back to my point - the woman who TRAINS the stewar---(flight attendants) was none other than Barbara "Leave it to Beaver" Billingsly! Looking pretty young and, well, pretty hot.

All for now...
