Fightingbob: Yes I found that quote quite interesting as well. As for changing myself well how can I do that when I'm so very perfect ??? ( Kidding   ---  just kidding, small joke there   lol ).

Pam234: True, & you do make some very good points there.

I didn't start out in life expecting I could change the world in really significant ways.  Instead, I've tried to contribute in different small ways, at different times over the years.  Currently, my project is helping other chess players.  I've found I can boost my opponents' self-confidence and enthusiasm for the game simply by increasing the number of blunders I make!  (I'm really getting the hang of it, too .. lately, it's gotten so I can do it without even Trying!)

I luv listening to music with my doppelganger and I having several threads on the go here about that subject. One song that would fit into this thread is " Que Sera Sera " with the one and only Doris Day.

Yes, Que Sera Sera has a romantic fatalism about it, a certain je ne sais quoi and it isn't even French.

I love 'Move Over Darling'!
Avatar of fightingbob

If you love, Move Over Darling (1963), LadyJane1, you might also enjoy My Favorite Wife (1940) with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.  The 1963 film is a remake of the 1940 original.  Also check out Pillow Talk (1959) with Doris Day and Rock Hudson, then perhaps you already have.

All good ones!  I'd add the second Doris Day/Rock Hudson comedy Lover Come Back  -- both movies feature Tony Randall at his absolute best, in scenes that are little gems of comic delivery.

Oh, I forgot Lover Come Back.  Thanks for remembering it, motherinlaw.  Your critique of Tony Randall is spot on.  Always liked him as a guest panelists on the original What's My Line too.

   ---   I've loved that song ever since I first heard it many years ago. Btw does anyone else remember when we used to have afternoon movies 5 days a week on TV ( and the late show movie staring at midnight ).

Avatar of badenwurtca

Yes Doris Day and Rock Hudson made quite a number of films together, often with Tony Randall as well. Years later Rock Hudson did a number of made for TV movies in the " McMillan & Wife " ( with Susan St.James ).
