Two pics of Jerry Colonna, Janice Paige and Bob Hope as they head off for their 1960 USO Christmas Tour, entertaining military personnel stationed around the world.
I'm taking the weekend off as there are many things to be done and should be done besides blogging. As such, Monday will mark the second Monday in a row with no Name That Movie. Sorry, it will return the following Monday.
In other news, Death Ray Daughters, Episode Four is up today but be sure and read Episodes One, Two and Three first if you haven't already.
Also, Peter Nellhaus provides a helpful link for the Spirit of Ed Wood Blogathon in July here on Cinema Styles. The documentary The Haunted World of Ed Wood is up on YouTube in a high quality video presentation here so you can watch and learn and not feel too dirty for having watched it on YouTube. It's comparable to the quality of Netflix instant viewing.
And that's it. I'll be around the blogs all day today as usual but then I'm off for the weekend. Everyone have a safe one.

Love the Randolph Scott banner. What a great movie.
As far as Randolph Scott and coffee go, I could have done several screengrabs just from Westbound.
Have a good weekend. I'll be at work, but I get holiday pay for showing up on Monday.
Thanks Ed. I haven't put up a Budd Boetticher or Randolph Scott movie before for one of my banners and figured it was about time.
Peter, thanks, I hope your weekend is good even if you will be at work.
Have you done Coffee Breaks with The Tall T before?
If we tried to pick Marilyn up like that and peck her cheek, do you think she'd slap us??
She'd slap you because of where your other hand would be.
Happy Memorial day, Greg!
Same to you Ryan, have a good one!
Will do. Heading up to a barbecue on Sunday in a nice little place my dad has in the country side, and no school/work on Monday. It's a good time to be alive, it is!
Any special plans?
Hope you have a good holiday weekend, Greg!
Thanks Pat, you too!
Ryan, there's a birthday in the house this weekend (not mine) so we'll be doing stuff for that and maybe going away for a day then a cookout on Monday.
And a talk with my Dad about his brother, my uncle, listed on the sidebar. I wrote it up last year and it's one of the links provided there if you'd like to read it.
Not that anybody asked, but I have NO PLANS this weekend, and that makes me happy. Which is not to say that I don't want to do anything, but I'd rather go where the wind takes me. That's just how I do things.
Sorry for not asking Bill. I'm very excited to hear your (non) plans. You're a real iconoclast.
I can't watch the movie...
Weird. It was there earlier now it says "private."
Here's the list of available movies on that channel.
Maybe something else would tickle your fancy there.
I haven't seen The Tall T on DVD. I've seen it on TV a couple of times, possibly on The Western Channel.
Also, it looks like Sony DVD will be coming out with a Sam Fuller set.
TCM has been playing those Scott/Boetticher westerns a lot, and their copy of The Tall T is gorgeous. Catch it next time they show it, if you can. I prefer Ride Lonesome, though... Boetticher really knew how to use CinemaScope!
The dead shall be raised.
And so we close out Memorial Day weekend.
Memorial Day weekend is over. Can we start doing stuff again?
No. We shall spend an eternity in limbo.
I do have a new post up if anyone wants to gather around it for warmth and whatnot.
No. Limbo it shall be. I have decreed it!
... yeah, I'll be there in a sec.
