Tyrone Power was incredible--fencing, leaping from trees, etc. <br />Basil Rathbone complimented Tyrone Power on his fencing prowess: "That man could fence his way out of a tri-corner hat."

(Very cool.)<br /><br />It is also very cool that a movie you fell in love with 50 years ago has stood the test of time for you. (So to speak.) I mean, sometimes revisiting a favorite movie or book from our youth can be very disappointing. At least, that's been my experience.<br /><br />But THIS... this sounds like a super movie. I'll definitely check it out later.

My Grandmother and her 3 sisters and two brothers were English and in the later years shared a large house, much like a boarding house. I was often left there as my parents were out or traveling and they watched everything English on television, including movies on the local station matinees. Well, now you've got me. I'm going in for the 1931 version. Wow!Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-3301517017173797682015-07-15T23:32:38.643-07:002015-07-15T23:32:38.643-07:00Oh Squid, I wish a gambling debt in 1784 could be ...Oh Squid, I wish a gambling debt in 1784 could be voided or escaped by time travel but honor is timeless and interferes with such improvements to reality.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7740983595962649109.post-44033061851371352772015-07-15T14:37:13.736-07:002015-07-15T14:37:13.736-07:00Aw, thanks for the mention.

I've heard they've evolved into a co-opt thing, members and all. <br />Living in Montana, having things like netflix etc from the kids, I've lost touch with things like that.
