: Hi Everyone,

: Are you finding the days getting shorter, the weather colder and it's harder to find something to laugh about? Well - I suggest you run down to your nearest 'Blockbuster' and take out 'Last of the Mohicans' - the 1936 version, starring Randolf Scott as Hawkeye!! I just caught the last half hour of it on TV (forgot it was coming on). So, how would I describe it? In two words:

: 'Oh dear!'

: To be honest, I can't remember when I laughed so much!!

: Still laughing just thinking about it! :0)))
: Kate.

Hey Kate com'on. I loved that movie. Also Northwest Passage with Spencer Tracy. You have to remember that for many of us that WAS the LOTM movie for many years, and we grew up watching it and loving it cause there was nothing else for comparison.

Same with the old Northwest Passage. Sure, filled with inaccuracies and hokey interpersonal relationships, but still....fun to watch and they DID spark a whole generation's interest in things early american and colonial. Many of the reenactors out there today grew up with movies like we laugh at today.

Look at the Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorrey movies. Have you ever seen a hokier badman than Peter Lorrey or a more comical hero than Bogart in some of his movies. Yet. Loved by many for what they were.
