The Human Comedy (1943)
I watch this movie every time it is shown .... it NEVER gets "old".
I am a 73yr 1st generation American (both parents from Poland); I lived all of WWII in St. Louis, MO; by coincidence, our house was next to a "Store Front" which contained a 24hr Western Union; and, my 2yr older brother (Art) bicycle-delivered greetings and messages for Western Union.
Great Movie!!!! Brings back the memories of that time. I could always tell when Art had a bad day. The situations (family life, Park Picnics, sand lot roughnecking by the kids) depicted in the movie follows pretty closely the families that I recall from the mid-war era. Tough times in '43 .... we knew it was getting better, just a question of "How Soon?'. I walked to school with my 3 sisters and Art .... about 10 blocks .... allowed us to see the In Service Banners with Blues Stars "Active Duty", Red Stars "Pow or MIA", Gold Stars "KIA".
Any and all adverse comments about this Movie's era can only come from a person(s) ignorance or their need to rewrite History. Those of us who are left are becoming fewer every year ..... a handful after 2031 ..... in the meantime, we ARE the living history.

Das Boot (1981)
Superb !
As an ex-submariner from those days, I can attest to the Rotten Conditions we lived in during the 40-43 era.
Hot, Humid, and Stale!!!
Not much chance to do anything else than man stations for several weeks at a time.

Behind That Curtain (1929)
An 80's dramatic Soap Opera from the 20's.
Good melodrama. Interesting way the story unfolds. Reminds me of the soaps from the 80's, especially the 'not too good' character acting.
But, I enjoyed Charlie Chan's very brief role. Rather refreshing to see how he was portrayed by Park. Would have been nice to see him in later portrayals of Chan, especially in those with Warner Oland(?) --- ugh!
