"Yes! The Duchess dove at the Duke just when the Duke dove at the Doge. Now the Duke ducked, the Doge dodged, and the Duchess didn't. So the Duke got the Duchess, the Duchess got the Doge, and the Doge got the Duke! "

I love watching movies from the 1940's and 50's. I don't know what it is about the mindless, simple stories that were produced post- WW2.   From White Christmas to Auntie Mame, I enjoy watching the familiar actors and actresses that do not find it necessary to use profanity in every breath.  I am a musical freak, so I love that many of the movies that Paramount cranked out included many musical numbers.  I recently found new love in The Court Jester, The Holiday Inn and many others that my grandmother dearly loves!  Some of my favorites though are White Christmas, Singing in the Rain and Wizard of Oz.

White Christmas has become a tradition among my sister in law and I.  We will watch it at least one time during the Christmas holidays while we are together.  It is funny to watch my brothers and dad groan as they tend to find other things to do then sit and watch it with us.

I wish that movies as innocent and funny as these were still being made.
