Some people ...I've had those thoughts as well. Some people are born artists and some are so unconsciously. Many in the creative side of movie-making probably did their jobs with no expectation of appreciation beyond that of a job well done. I would hope they would take pleasure in our tributes and enjoyment of a good day's work.

I am ever-impressed by Curtiz's versatility and the quality of his work." Same here.<br /><br />Good point in your comment about movies disappearing after their run, and so leaving room for remakes. I've often wondered what the casts and crews of films made in those days would think if they could come back to earth and watch TCM for one day, or scan the selection of DVDs at a store, or online. Not only that their work is still with us, that they have a legacy and a kind of immortality, but that we appreciate their work on perhaps a different level than they saw it. I'm not sure we always (apart from yourself, of course) appreciate "anarchic screwball touch ." Jacqueline T.

Probably left the theatre wondering why such-and-such seemed so familiar.<br /><br />"The Long Voyage Home" is a hauntingly beautiful Ford picture. 33-year-old actor John Wayne does a lovely job in the ensemble. Just as professional, but light years away from western icon Wayne.

Both movies show up from time to time on TCM, so keep your eyes out.<br /><br />In both films they retain a line that is mildly disrespectful to Cleveland.
