1940 – Philadelphia Story. Definitely a good year.

If the Production Code came back–so long as Hollywood was able to produce 10 good films a year–I would be all in favor of it. This article made me do a quick inventory of my film collection, and 1939 has a better representation on my shelf than any other year.

Give me back the whole nasty "studio system", the Production Code and all the rest. So long as it produced one picture as good as Robin Hood, Drums Along The Mohawk, Gunga Din or Beau Geste, it would be worth it. That, and it would have the added benefit of shielding us from the thundering stupidity of actors who would never be allowed to give an interview without their publicists and studio minders…

The Adventures of Robin Hood also a 1939 film. I beleive it was the 1st full length motion picture (end to end) shortly after the Wizard of Oz came out.

How is it possible that a guy like Ted Turner can be an admirer of Fidel Castro? I have yet to figure out how he performs the mental gymnastic to make this possible.

The documentary was a bit jumbled but fun. Me and my sister are eagerly trying to watch all 39. She has never seen this Chips or Love Story, and is eagerly awaiting to tell me how right I am about their superiority.

Yes. Me and my sister watched it again when recently aired as a 1939 movie but we always loved this movie. What a fun pair Rogers and Niven were.
