get to see it. We're w/o cable now (lost Dish) and the TCM withdrawal is fierce. Looking into other venues and dread it; heard good things about Spectrum, and want to explore Criterion. I enjoy Ben M.'s commentary, I didn't know he spent time in DC when young I think.

Here's shot of Cary- what a rogue- playing a backwoodsman in the forgettable 1940 film, 'The Howards of Virginia' about a Tidewater, Va. family in the 18th c. One of his worst performances and films so I've read. Years ago I saw it and it's pretty bad. The only redeeming quality is that it features prominent historic buildings around Colonial Williamsburg where it was filmed. My mom was there and she said it was a big deal.
