Heads up for tomorrow on TPTV at 4pm(Sat 24th July)
Way Out West(1937) Laurel & Hardy,with a great role for James Finlayson who was in many of their films.

Managed to watch some of this.

Saloon customer: "Say, Finn, you're a lucky skate, having a swell gal like Lola."
James Finlayson: "What do you mean? Why, she's the lucky one, being married to a swell fellow like me!"

One of Laurel & Hardys finest films.A Chump at Oxford(1940)

Just checking on Hal Roach,He outlived Stan & Ollie by a few decades.Lived until 100 in 1992.

A Chump at Oxford(1940)

Peter Cushing had a small role in this one.

The film would have been inspired by "A Yank At Oxford", starring Robert Taylor, which was made a year or two earlier.

Reclaiming Amy.

Really glad I watched this revisiting of our local lass Ms Winehouse.

Quite sad in parts. Effectively, she was her own worst enemy and the parents weren't really to blame.

Watched a interesting two part documentary on PBS America last night about the 3D mapping of the USS Arizona.
1177 sailors went down with the ship on 7/12/41.

One of the survivors of that day gave his reminisces.
The programme was originally made in 20i6 for the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
