The Howard movies were the ones shown and I loved them - Howard's other more serious roles were unknown to me at the time - largely because of the cast.

I still get a kind of warm glow just thinking about them.<br /><br />ColinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-52596319383356077592014-06-10T13:55:32.739-07:002014-06-10T13:55:32.739-07:00They don't show up on TV as often as they once...They don't show up on TV as often as they once did.
