MY LIFE IN 1950

Went to the movies twice last week... saw Louis Hayward in a swashbuckler movie "Fortunes of Captain Blood"... Hayward was not quite the caliber of the best swashbucklers like Errol Flynn and Burt Lancaster, but he was a good one, too... saw it downtown at the RKO Orpheum... this movie featured one of the best villains in the movies, George Maccready... see the photo of him along with one of the most beautiful stars of all-time Rita Hayworth... the movie was a classic "Gilda"... it made a star of Glenn Ford... it was his first major role.

The other movie was a western at the Fox Theatre on Elysian Fields in New Orleans... Eagle and the Hawk... it starred B actors, John Payne, Rhoda Fleming and Dennis O'Keefe... the best actors were the A actors, who starred in major movies... there were a lot of B movies... they were low budgeted... there were a lot of B stars... actually that what kids watched... there was too much hanky panky, lovey doveyness, hugging and kissing in the major movies... we liked the swashbucklers, the rootin' tootin westerns and the war is hell movies... heck yes, we like shoot 'em ups and war movies... but they didn't have the terrible violence you see in them today... happily, we didn't have video games where you can gun down people just for fun of it... I don't remember anybody shooting people at school because we were bullied or maladjusted... it was a different world... not a perfect world... but I'm glad that was the world I grew up in.

George Maccready played the villain in a hundred movies... he was always the bad guy... he was in "Fortunes of Captain Blood"... but his main claim to fame was probably as the bad guy in the classic "Gilda" with the beautiful star Rita Hayworth.

Eugene Church · 05-14-2019, 12:22 PM

"Eagle and the Hawk"... just a so-so, mediocre B westerns... probably was forgotten shortly after its release.

However, John Payne did star in a classic movie... everybody's favorite... the great Christmas classic that comes back year-after-year-after-year since 1947...starring that wonderful redhead Maureen O'Hara, a very young Natalie Wood, a great Santa, Edmund Gwenn... and of course, John Payne... and he was a very good actor in this role... this was an A movie... he had done his time in B movies.

Weird things are happening when I try to log onto the OOTPB Forums... I can only access the OOTPB Graphics Forum... from there I can go to the other forums... I cannot log on to OOTP20 Discussions or Dynasty Forums... I get an error message that it can't find the provider server.

I will not be able to post screenshots until somebody solves this problem... I can go anywhere I want to on the internet and access websites, but I can't access the OOTP Dynasty Forum, OOTP19 and OOTP20 Discussions Forums.

None of the navigational aids are labelled and you cannot post screenshots or attachments.

I'm hoping the problem is with the OOTPB servers and not my computer.

I posted a thread in the OOTP20 Discussions Forum and I am not the only one with this access problem... it seems the OOTP Development Team are looking into it.

Eugene Church · 05-17-2019, 05:38 PM

Looks like the OOTP Forums are working right again... it was fixed some time today.

MY LIFE IN 1950
June 19

One of the greatest entertainers of all-time, Hank Williams, had the number one country song on this date in history... "Why Don't You Love Me (Like You Used to Do)".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac8u1Argw_I

It's a shame we lost him at age 29... but still, Hank left us with some of the greatest songs of all-time: "Your Cheating Heart"... "Jambalaya"... "Cold Cold Heart"... "Half as Much" and many more... all of these songs were also number one songs on the pop charts... pop stars Joni James, Jo Stafford, Tony Bennett and Rosemary Clooney made pop recordings of those Hank hits.

And here's Rosemary Clooney singing "Half as Much":

JACKS ALL ALONE IN 1ST IN 2ND DIVISION
Heading into the weekend the Jackson Jackalopes and the Dutton Coyotes were tied for the top spot in the North Island Recreational League Second Division... but after the dust settled, the Jacks were all alone in first place... they toppled last place Theodore 6-2, but had to rally late to beat the Bobcats... while the Coyotes were singing the blues in Kinston, when they blew a two-run lead in the last of the ninth inning... and Joliet jolted West Chester late in a 5-3 decision... Jackson is one game up on Dutton.
