I should note as well that this month PBS is rebroadcasting Ken Burns's documentary series
The Civil War.
And let's fire up the birthday candles for the one and only Walter Huston, one of my favorites. I'd particularly recommend
The Devil and Daniel Webster and Frank Capra's
American Madness, both starring Huston.
