They got married at a B&B lodge near Mansfield that is now a state park. For those of you in Columbus, legendary channel 4 sports anchor Jimmy Crum was one of the few members of the press corps present at that wedding.

The same Hoagie Carmichael that wrote the classic 'Stardust', made famous by Nat King Cole. I have the DVD of 'Best Years', but I still watch it whenever it is on TV. Great movie and it led me to find other movies with Fredric March and Dana Andrews.

Yesterday morning before I had to go to work, I tuned into Captains Courageous based on the Rudyard Kipling story. It was quite enjoyable, and it was a trip to see a young Spencer Tracy (who won best actor) and an even younger Mickey Rooney (what was he, about 15 when it was filmed?). Fredrick Bartholomew was also excellent as the rich brat who becomes Tracy's pal over the course of a few months on the fishing boat.
I'll be checking the TCM listings regularly this month and will no doubt have to make room on my DVR to record some of these movies. Has anybody else "discovered" a movie they had yet to see before this month's programming?
