There's also an overlooked Raggedy Ann       cartoon "Suddenly It's Spring."              > Mark is currently tied up on other projects, but I have decided to        > jump in and comment on the new additions to the list (feature films        > only). And here they are.       >        > Long Form:       >        > BETWEEN TWO WORLDS              One of the ones I was thinking of. I've seen it and 1930's OUTWARD BOUND, of       which it is a remake. I suppose I should see THEY CAME TO A CITY and HALFWAY       HOUSE for a complete comparrison.              >        > THE CANTERVILLE GHOST              The other one I was thinking of. I'm surprised to see this came out before       MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS, the character Margaret O'Brien plays here seems a       slightly toned down version of the sorta Wednesday Addams prototype she played       there. I wonder why this        isn't better known. Perhaps it would be better if the full price of an act of       bravery had been paid. We have the one ghost, and there's a time in the       celebration at the end where Robert Young's character could realize he's       become one, too. But, as        wartime propaganda, perhaps they don't want to point out that soldiers are       likely to die.              Short Form:              > THE PHANTOM: (We were unable to find a copy of this.)              Is this the serial? You have it as a short form.               I notice you haven't listed THE MUMMY'S GHOST and THE MUMMY'S CURSE, not that       they'd be nominated.              --        -Jack              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
