Gene Tierney

Franchot Tone

Thanks for pointing this one out Ken. I was looking for something to watch this evening and this is it! Note, this film has Don Murray in a co-starring role. What a great and under-rated actor.....

Great political movie! We're watching it now. It's in 1080i and really fills the screen very well, surprising for an old film.

And Betty White as a US Senator. Unfortunately, the book is out of print. It's even better than the movie, as I recall.

So it's not being shown OAR?

I noticed this great movie was not OAR in high definition though. OAR would have been better. The opening credits were OAR and that was much better. I guess being shown in any form is better than not being shown at all. I really enjoyed it.
