Happy Birthday to Natalie Wood and Don Knotts.
TCM celebrated Natalie Wood’s birthday with a marathon of films. I watched Tomorrow is Forever. In this film Natalie was a young blonde Austrian girl. She had a small role, but she had a very good accent and spoke German convincingly. Orson Wells played her guardian who brought her to the USA after parents were killed by invading Nazi soldiers in front of her. Orson was an American who fought in WWI. He was badly wounded and stay in Europe, pretending that he was dead with the help of Natalie‘s dad, a surgeon, he was able to start a new life and identity. Claudette Colbert was his wife. Orson an Austrian chemist comes to America during WWII and works with Claudette’s 2nd husband. She recognizes him and confronts him stating that she wants the past but has a great present. He is ill and dies, Natalie is very upset over his death. My DVR cut out as Claudette was hugging her.
The second film of the day is the great film Miracle on 34th St. Not just a great Christmas film, but a great film in general.
