★★★★★ · Great George · hasbeen249 · 2024-02-05
George, Simply THANK YOU for another beautiful colorized . movie,this one I remember first seeing when I was 9 years old in April 1944,for we did not know at the time,it was to be the last time the Germans bombed our city during World War 2. It was also the first time I remember seeing Laird Cregar, what a great actor he was,who died far too young. John Payne was due to play the the lead role,but ill health ruled him out so G M took over. So once again George THANK YOU hasbeen249
