I want a baseball cap like the one Harry Carey is wearing.
Well, if you're a good boy, Santa might bring you one.

After Maximus does Robin hood, Maximus does Noah.........fortunately there were some fight scenes where he could show off his gladiatorial skills.
Hubby and I tried to watch this shortly after it came out on DVD. Didn't make it through the first 15 minutes before we shut it off.

If I'm not mistaken he also wore a similar more beat up version of the same cap while playing Robbie, Air Corps Crew Chief of the Maryanne in Howard Hawk's "Air Force".

Thanks Worf, that's the cap & movie.
I just couldn't find an image of him wearing it.
So I added a newer one.

Most of It Happened on 5th Avenue, mentioned above; will finish probably tonight. Two minor coincidences: Gale Storm, who went on to star in her tv show Oh, Susannah!, is shown in a Times Square music store and behind her is sheet music for Oh, Susannah!. Another character in the story is named Margie, which was part of the title of Gale Storm's other show, My Little Margie. ...which probably means I get way too involved in the minutia of filmed entertainment and forget to enjoy the story.

They don't seem to be "period correct", but I wouldn't mind having a coat like that for myself.

Indulged in a little "A Christmas Story" this evening. First time in a few years that I have, but it's as entertaining as ever.

"It's a Wonderful Life", a favorite.
Been watching lots of TCM lately.(cold spell)
I did a "George Bailey".
I added some extra "saturation" to see what it would be like to watch it in color.
Luckily only did one scene.

I so wanted to like this movie when it came out, but either because I saw the original as a kid and loved it or because this '05 version really isn't a good movie, it felt forced and flat versus the original to me.
The special effect seemed over the top and distracted from the story which, even as a kid, effected me in the original as I felt Kong's loss, fear, rage, despair in a way that I didn't in this newer version.
Some movies shouldn't be remade because there is nothing you can do to make it better. Fay Wray and Kong struck the right balance of emotion and frustrated lust - it's there, implied, but not gratuitous - neither the '76 or this '05 version handled that incredibly tricky balance as well.

Funny happening.....I had PVR'd "A Winter's Tale" as the blurb described it as being from 1968 and based on a Shakespeare play. Started to watch it and it was decidedly not Shakespeare and then Colin Farrell crossed the screen. Turns out the channel had placed the wrong blurb with the movie. We were watching "Winter's Tale" with Colin and Russell Crowe. Very different movie but my wife loved it.....a really sweet love story. A bit weird and Crowe was over the top but overall a very positive mistake.

Your story is probably better than the mixed-up movie's story, but the movie did have charm and whimsy to it.
I like Helprin (the author of the book the movie is based on), but this is not his best effort.
If you or your wife are readers and want to see Helprin at his best, I'd recommend "In Sunlight and in Shadow" and "A Soldier of the Great War."
