1. I so admire Jean Arthur.

Talk about your underappreciated actresses of yesteryear. She made such a wonderful series of movies, including The More the Merrier and The Talk of the Town, neither of which is on today's schedule but both of which are each utterly watchable and patriotic to the bargain, each in its own way.
