What the Beck???
Missing Mama Duck
had found in the garden and it was a nest.
I didn't want to touch the area which would
prevent her from returning
Unfortunately the scent of the dogs scared her off.
She never returned to the nest.
Eventually, I threw them away, so the dogs didn't have
a little snack.
The Criminal Rabbit
He did a great job eating a lot of
my perennials the other day.
Be off with you, you varmint!!!
Bucket List Update
Academy Award Nominated Movies
1933 Love
Affair
starring: Irene Dunne, Charles Boyer, Marie Ouspenskaya, Lee Bowman,
Astrid Allwyn, Maurice Moscovitch
plot –A painter meets a singer on a
cruise. They are each engaged
to someone else. They vow to stay away from each
other, but can’t and plan to meet at the top of the Empire State
Building. She is injured and doesn’t make it. He
eventually finds her and it ends happily ever after.
This was a classic plot. It was well acted but a very predictable
movie.
1937 Lost
Horizon
starring: Ronald Colman, Jane Wyman,
John Howard, Margo, Thomas Mitchell, Edward Everett Horton
plot – The story of Robert Conway, who
was kidnapped while helping British and Americans out of China. He and the people
on his plane are kidnapped and taken to Shangri La. He seems
destined to remain there.
This was a actually a good movie. The storyline was something I
hadn’t seen before and I enjoyed the whole thing.
1934 Here
Comes the Navy
starring: James Cagney, Pat O’Brien, Gloria Stuart, Frank McHugh, Dorothy Tree
plot – Two men fight over a girl. One, a dockworker (Cagney), joins
the navy to get back at the other man who is a Naval Officer.
This was a really good movie. Cagney and O’Brien are fabulous as
adversaries. I enjoyed the entire
show.
1936 Three
Smart Girls
starring: Binnie Barnes, Alice Brady,
Ray Miland, Charles Winninger, Mischa Aver, Deanna Durbin, Nan Grey, Barbara
Read
plot – Three sisters plan and plot to
break up their father’s engagement
to a gold digger.
This was a cute movie.
The girls are funny and I loved their schemes.
1938 Pygmalion
starring: Leslie Howard, Wendy Hiller,
Wilfrid Lawson, Marie Lohr,
Scott Sutherland, Jean Cadell, David Tree
plot – This movie is known later as My
Fair Lady. The original version follows the story almost exactly, but lacks the
music, singing, and dancing that I loved in the later
version.
I understood the concept of Pygmalion, but having never seen the
movie, did not realize that My Fair Lady was not the original. I loved this, even though I will always
think of Leslie Howard as Ashley from Gone with the Wind.
