I watched John Wayne in "The High and The Mighty" recently. This is a film that was originally released 50 years ago and hasn't been seen since. FIFTY YEARS AGO. It's a classic, I tell ya.
It was an airplane horror "we're going to crash" before-they-had-special-effects movie. And I loved it. Not because I like horror, or plane crashes or any kind of excessive drama. I like dialogue. And the following line, said by one of the female passengers on the plane, was like a tiramisu dessert after a king crab dinner for me:
"I always thought your brain would fit nicely in a demitasse."
Dang. Wish I'd had the opportunity to spout that one to someone, sometime. .
I love John Wayne! There I said it, my secret is out :)
