For dialog, I give it a D+. For cars and locations, it gets an A+!ockie ditchbankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09197371116241106297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-43221208664011558072013-03-04T09:33:00.450-08:002013-03-04T09:33:00.450-08:00I love your posts .

It sort of connects us to the films, especially if you are lucky enough to live in or visit the area.<br />I'd love one day to to visit Lone Pine where so many westerns were filmed.<br /><br />Vienna's classic HollywoodViennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907591161822012949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-25190288550505328832013-03-01T11:30:07.245-08:002013-03-01T11:30:07.245-08:00theyareangry,

I haven't seen either of those films yet. I always enjoy Fred MacMurray so ...TOMORROW will be at the top of my list.

Since then I've seen the Inn turn up in FOXFIRE and THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW. Seems to have been popular in the mid '50s! Thanks for a post focusing on this great location.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-39648076519564650902013-02-27T16:50:51.236-08:002013-02-27T16:50:51.236-08:00This is really a good movie which can be found on ...This is really a good movie which can be found on Netflix.
