Now, on to the 1940s!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I'm just reading it now! Your "Bringing Up Baby" hate is beyond the pale! But I respect your taste, and depth of research and diligence.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I will note that "Hellbound Train" is part of a long tradition of sermons in the Black church along that theme.
I know it best from Chuck Berry's great song "Downbound Train" but it's all clearly derived from the same almost folk process that informed sermons which were taken, changed, adapted just as folk songs and folk stories were done.

Very cool. Sounds like something that could be in one of your Halloween mixes.

I've definitely put it on a Halloween mix.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I have a liking for Katherine Hepburn, but Bringing Up Baby annoys me; however, I appreciate your love for Holiday - it's one of my favorites.
And Shanghai Express ... I'm always reminded of the line, "it took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily".

I love Katharine Hepburn movies, including Bringing Up Baby, although it is very different from her other roles.

I love HOLIDAY. The 1930 version is also quite good: Ann Harding & Mary Astor play the sisters and (hilariously) Edward Everett Horton plays Nick Potter yet again.

I also love Holiday! I have played Susan Potter (Nick Potter’s wife). I am not sure if she exists in the movie because I haven’t watched in 20 years! But she was extremely fun to play- I used my Anya “I will barf too!” Imitation.

Oh indeed she's in the movie and delightful. It's one of Jacqueline's favorite screwballs, and Neddy is on her short list of all-time Woobies.
