Turns out I don't have the movie after all, so I'll have to see if I can scare it up on YouTube or something.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-56026046268094736522013-07-31T07:36:47.226-04:002013-07-31T07:36:47.226-04:00I am not particularly interested in the book, but ...I am not particularly interested in the book, but I might watch the movie sometime.<br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-73167715310728411942013-07-30T22:28:47.175-04:002013-07-30T22:28:47.175-04:00I know!

One day, it just clicked, and I went, "Because I know everything about Allan Q. already. Duh." <br /><br />I thought this was on the Jerry discs, but I can't find it. If you know that it is, please drop me a line telling me which one, because I spent twenty minutes tonight scrutinizing the handwriting, to no avail.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-63384835173668377182013-07-30T20:13:58.299-04:002013-07-30T20:13:58.299-04:00Oooh!

I may not have liked it, but Stewart Granger was lovely. :-DDKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-66197442512724558212013-07-30T16:43:14.617-04:002013-07-30T16:43:14.617-04:00I think I have a copy that was taped off cable yea...I think I have a copy that was taped off cable years ago, that I just haven't managed to watch. maybe I should start it tonight, since I don't think we'll watch the next ep of <i>Sherlock</i> until Friday.

(As you know, since I recently had a Stewart Granger month). My first exposure to the film was a couple years ago, and I didn't care for it; in fact, I was so bored that I didn't even finish it. However, because I was focusing on Stewart Granger back in May and because "King Solomon's Mines" is one of his most popular films, I decided I needed to give it another go. I'm glad I did, because I appreciated it more on a follow-up viewing. It's a 3-star film for me, but it's on the high end of 3, close to 4.<br /><br />I think you will like it. Mr. Granger is his usual charismatic self.Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.com
