Granted

Today is Cary Grant's birthday and Red has gone flat out in celebration. Click and scroll......

The Missus and I watched Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House the other evening. We both thought it pleasant enough, although maybe not in the first rank of Grant flicks. However, when Grant took off his robe and pajamas top in the bathroom, the Missus let out an involuntary, "Oooooooh......"

Up next, Talk of the Town. It's been years and years since I saw this, and I'm eager to see if it's as good as I remember it to be.

"Bringing Up Baby" or "Monkey Buisness"

Haven't seen Monkey Business. And although Red will consign my soul to a special level of hell for it, I'm not much of a fan of Bringing Up Baby.

Aw, Bringing up Baby is one of my all time faves. I think it's Cary in glasses maybe.

I love Mr. Blandings, too.

I know the "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" movie well, because I live in one of the replicas of the house built as a promotion back in '48. The most distinctive feature you'd recognized from the movie is the light colored floor-to-ceiling mantle around the fireplace.

We didn't know the history of the house when we were looking at it until we were leaving after the first showing and the owners showed us the VHS sleeve of the movie. We like to say we bought the tape for (many, many) thousands of dollars and they threw in the house for free!
