Pre-code most excellentness indeed! Indirect references. Harry should get it:

I had to look that up and I never would have guessed in a million years. Talk about ageing badly, SHEESH!

Unlike Zeppo, he was the nice brother according to Groucho.

Milton.

The thread title says it all. I know that Italeri makes an Aeromax 120; but, I was wondering if there is a styrene/resin kit of the day cab tractors. I drove an A9500 doing linehaul and loved that tractor. I have the AMT Dual Trailer kit and wanted to make a model of my old rig.

I'm a pretty big cinemaphile. I'll watch anything made between 1895 and the mid 1970s. After that, a lot of cookie cutter dreck. All except for films by actor/tough guy Bob De Niro and Harvey Keitel. Love Pre-Code films, crime films and film noir. And, don't get me started on the Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields and The Bowery Boys.

By the bye, I'll only answer if I'm absolutely positive. A lot I get right; a bunch I get goose eggs. But, I do play the game fair and square.

!00% honest I didn't. I watched "Reveille With Beverly" on TCM last week and I thought the actress in a scene looked familiar. I went to IMDb to check out the cast and saw that "Elsie" was Irene Ryan. I also discovered that her husband was actor Tim Ryan, also in the film. So, I googled "Irene Ryan" and that picture popped up in the results. I never figured that somebody would post it later.

I wish! No, Linda Brier from Brooklyn circa 1963. Really. She's a celebrity only to those who know her. She was pretty hot 50 years ago. It scares me to think how all those nights at the local gin mills have taken their toll.

I think I know because the face and.....um......the face looks familiar. She looks like Dolly Parton from sometime in the mid-late 1960s. Actually, the forehead and grin are similar. If it's not, then I'll deny hazarding a guess.

Sure it was. Remember the Johnny Eagle guns? Also, the parent company was Deluxe Reading, makers of the Crusader 101 that I and another poster mentioned. Topper made Johnny Lightning cars, Suzy Homemaker, the Johnny Seven O.M.A. (One Man Army) and Johnny Eagle Lieutenant M14 rifles, definite must-haves for all young Cold War commie killers in training: Do you remember this? My friends and I had all this great cra-p. We were armed to the teeth and ready for any possible attack. Well, that's not completely accurate. There was one enemy who we feared more than the evil communist hordes from Eastern Europe, and he was called "Beast". Beast was the only adversary who was able to thwart our attacks and keep us at bay. See, Beast had a BB rifle which he used on us whenever we went through his backyard during our wargames. All of the backyards for four square blocks were interconnected and it made for great times playing army, hot peas n' butter, team tag with almost one hundred kids involved and other property-intrusive fun.

Yeah.....I guess you're right. She sorta does look like her. Actually, that's Linda Brier from Driggs Avenue. She used to hang out with my older sister over at the Driftwood Inn and Goodman's Bar & Grill back in the early-mid '60s.

Anyone recognize her?

That's the old broad who runs the Park Slope Food Co-op.

Well, IMDb trivia sez:

Nancy Kwan. She was great in "The World of Suzie Wong". I told you guys that I watch waaaaay too much TV.

Irene Granny Clampett" Ryan. She was in "Reveille With Beverly" which was on TV last week and I mentioned the movie in response to the Ann Miller picture.

I missed that picture. That's Tina Cole. She played Rob Douglas' wife on "My Three Sons". She also was on "Hawaiian Eye". I have the series on DVD.

Julie London. She was Jack Webb's ex-wife. She sang "Cry Me A River" in "The Girl Can't Help It". Jayne Mansfield was in the film too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDO1a1QqJao

Kim Delaney from NYPD Blues.

She played Sarah Connor on that Terminator TV series on Fox. The name will probably come to me after somebody else mentions it.

Madeleine Stowe. She's been subbing for Robert Osborne on TCM this weekend.

That really sucks. There is absolutely no excuse for such bad service. One thing I do if going to a restaurant and I notice the service is bordering on bad to non-existent is to place a pile of bills on the table in the server's presence when I'm ready to order. I then tell him/her that this is the tip; and, if at anytime during my meal I feel the service doesn't meet my standards, the pile will become progressively smaller. They don't like it; but, I always get good service. They want that tip more than they hate me at that moment.

So is the 2016 Tina Turner.

One of my favorite films.
