i could go on, but i meant to read the whole thread before replying and also i'm starving, so dinner now.

But of couse I have them all (and have seen them recently - last night I watched "Libeled Lady" with Myrna Loy and William Powell). I just didn't want to make a looong list. You might try "I Was A Male War Bride" - Cary Grant and Ann Sheridan. Ah, the joys of bureaucracy....
(Embarrasing to mention on a reading forum, but I have more movies than books - though not by much...)
