I've forgotten much more than I remember. What brought me here is an off and on 15+ year interest in Deanna Durbin films. I first saw a couple of her works on AMC back in about 1990 I was quite enchanted but the only current release of her work at that time was "It's a Date". Somehow I missed the Video releases of the mid-late 90's and only fairly recently rediscovered this treasure trove. So despite having seen quite a few films of the 30's and 40's (usually comedies) I'm unlikely to speak up much; When I do I'll try to moderate the worst of my Durbin biases

I enjoyed Deanna Durbin and am proud that I was able to record all the movies from TCM when they showed them, but I have branched out now and really enjoy the MGM musicals of the 50s, and the RKO musicals of the 30s and 40s. But as you can see from my avatar, I am truly a westerns fan. I won't pass up any western shown on the Westerns Channel, unless of course I have seen it a hundred times before. No such thing as a bad western, just westerns that weren't very good, but still watchable. George "Gabby" Hayes was a wonderful man, and as a little boy I had the pleasure of meeting him on the set of a Roy Rogers western. So needless to say, I collect any and all westerns with 'Gabby' Hayes and that even includes his younger days with John Wayne. Welcome aboard, and you will find that we are a friendly lot. Most importantly, just have fun!!

Member Group: Member Posts: 17 Member No.: 613 Joined: 6-April 07	Thank you all for your warm greetings, I'll make an attempt to post but I wasn't kidding about my viewing history being hit and miss. My overall knowledge of film is limited to what happened to catch my fancy at a given moment. I tend to use them as stress reducers which I suppose explains my attraction to romantic comedies old and new. Even wonderful drama's seldom get a second viewing. Heck, I hardly even watch television anymore though I will admit to getting sucked into watching the Rome Series on HBO. My obsessive streak has my attention focused on Deanna Durbin films these last few months as I suddenly realized her work is available (I'd pretty much given up finding any sometime in the early-mid 90's). Unfortunately my other obsessive interests at the moment aren't films; but who knows maybe you all will suck me in

I am from Australia and she is not on TV very often here. Usually it is "Can't Help Singing" that is shown and I have to rely on my own tapes if I want to see her films.
