"In The Mood" - Glenn Miller Classic 1940 - A Tribute To My Father A WW-2 Veteran.wmv My father never talked much about his times in the servise but he made lite of the odd fact's that came his way. He was in a pool drawing held by the Local U.S.O. for a chance to escort Betty Grable to church & got to be one lucky Joe that Sunday. When he was going through bootcamp an other movie personality was making his secondround; who was it, well it was Stanley Clements. Dad had said he was a smart-ass & his tuff-guy cockey attitude got Stanley a lot of washing pot's & pan's on K-P on his second round in camp. You may remember Stanley from movies like "Going My Way" as one of the two kids that stole a Turkey & slapped the other kid a lot. Stanley was in some of The Dead-End Kids shorts & played mostly Gangsters types. Catégorie :

The Battle Of Midway (1942)
Mac Arthur avait dit en quittant Pearl Harbour dévasté "Je reviendrai". Et il est revenu. The Battle of Midway chronicles a significant moment in U.S. History, as have other Ford films like Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) and My Darling Clementine (1946), but the focus here is on ordinary Americans filmed at the time, not famous historical figures seen in retrospect. Although the use of a hand-held 16mm camera will strike some as uncharacteristic of Ford's style, there are many ÂFordianÂ touches throughout the film. Ford weaves voiceover and music into the real footage of the battle, shaping the material to show us the conflict as he saw it, and moulding these elements into a narrative to show the American people why they're fighting.
