I have to say that I loved Lancaster. Spencer Tracy, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart... all of them were good.
But there is a series of films that I just acquired on DVD. Been looking for them forever. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in the Sherlock Holmes series. Filmed in the late 30's and the early 40's. I really do like those movies. There are 14 in the series. Might be labeled "B" movies now, but I just love them.
Hey Air Force, have you ever heard of a movie called Strategic Air Command, it's one of those sappy movies Stewart made during the 50's where he was a B-47 commander, I think I'm one of the few people who actually call that one of my favorites. LOL
Damn right I've seen that movie. Stewart was supposed to be a major league baseball pitcher and he gets called up when SAC is created. He starts out flying B-29's, then goes to B-36's, then onto B-47's. Remember when he crashes in Greenland trying to land at Thule in a crippled B-36?
By the way, my brother, who was a lifer, was a crew chief on B-36's in Puerto Rico. Then when the B-47 came out, he became a crew chief on B-47's.
It was one hell of a sappy movie. But I like it too.
Was in San Antonio several years ago and happened to see a cargo version of the B-36 parked in front of Kelly AFB but it looked to be in pretty bad shape. I know since that time Kelly has closed down so would be interesting to see if they ever restored the thing or not. Theres a real nice B-36 up at Wright-Pat at the USAF Museum and yes I do remember.
Never got a chance to see a B-36 in action was a wee bit before my time, however have seen several B47's in my time, had a little fun with those Air Force types in my day, brings back a lot of memories. If you ever have the chance we have a nice little Museum here down in Tucson near Davis Monthan AFB called the Pima Air and Space Museum its worth the trip for any anyone interested in aviation old or young, if they are like me they gte a bit nostalgic and feel their age when they go there LOL
