    Set in the Holy Year of 1950.. Van Johnson and Paul Douglas. One of the best movies ever for the WHOLE family, humour, drama, faith.
    I saw this movie decades ago and wanted to watch it again but could not remember its name.  I watched it today with my family and it was as good as I remembered it.

    My thanks to Cera and Miseremini for posting about this.  I finally got my wish to see this movie and I got to share it with my family members.  They liked it a lot too.

    • Thank you so much for posting these films Miseremini.  It is hard to find good films.

    • Marcelino Pan'e Vino.

    The story of a little boy orphaned at birth and raised by monks.
    He has beautiful conversations with Jesus on the Cross.

    I hope you can find an English (dubbed) version, though it is worth watching in Spanish or Italian.

    • I loved " On Borrowed Time" with Lionel Barrymore ( 1939)
    I saw it first only a few years ago when a friend loaned me the video.
    It has a spiritual premise , ( not Catholic) but was extremely entertaining. The little boy who plays Barrymore's grandson was one of the best child actors I have ever seen.

    • To name a few...
    The adventures of Robin Hood (1938) with Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland and Basil Rathbone.
    Adam-12
    Dragnet
    Most John Wayne Westerns, all the drinking aside, are usually pretty good.

    One thing I find interesting about the old police shows is that the drug and crime problems, which were relatively new in the 50s and 60s and which the shows strove to blot out, only got a lot worse over time. I remember seeing a Dragnet where dogs were first trained to sniff out drugs from a warehouse, it was something never tried before and worked marvelously, they really thought they finally found a way to stamp out the importing of drugs.

    Below is a poor link to a fantastic movie for teens and pre teens.
    It's the story of an obnoxious california teen who is sent to his grandfather for the summer in Calorado.
    All my grandsons just love this movie and it's an "in your face" story that many teens need to see.
    Can be purchased on ebay for $3-$4.  Stars Richard Crenna
    In the movie below someone wisely shows the picture of another movie to get teens to watch a good one.
    Be careful there is another movie with the same name

    • "Emergency!" Virus (TV Episode 1972) - IMDb
    https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0570723/
    Directed by Lawrence Dobkin. With Robert Fuller, Julie London, Bobby Troup, Randolph Mantooth. A sick lady with a monkey provides the key to a mysterious, highly contagious, and deadly ASIAN virusthat strikes both Dr. Brackett and John Gage. Meanwhile, the firemen rescue a boy from a treehouse and a man from a scaffold. ( maybe the cure could be in this episode.

    It is cool to watch this show and compare it to today.  First of all, no obese nurse, doctors or firefighters.   Nurses are wearing white dresses and caps.  see how present day society has really became lame.

    Hi Jayne, If possible DVR or somehow copy this movie as it is very difficult to obtain.

    Where did you find it or did you have a copy?
    I copied mine from TV decades ago on to VHS  Then in 2018 when it again came on TV again I copied it to DVD.
    It has never been released to DVD.

    I just googled and found it on a Russian site.  https://ok.ru/video/1515480550032

    Normally I wouldn't try watch something on a strange site like this because they often have malware, but I took the risk this time because I wanted to see it so badly.  Nothing bad seems to have happened, but sometimes there is a delayed reaction, so I recommend caution if anyone else wants to try this.

    • The Picture of Dorian Gray is a very thought provoking movie from a Catholic perspective but not for the whole family.
    The 1945 version is excellent.  Haven't seen the remake.

    • We just watched the agony or passions of St. Joan of Arc done in 1928 black and white.  Very good.  French/English captions.  Can find on TCM.
