I wasn't feeling too well today so once the
morning chores were complete the
Commander and I settled in by the wood
stove and watched Pollyanna. Pollyanna is
one of those classic movies that is great
fun to watch even if you have seen it
several times before.
Old movies are so fun to watch especially
when the story is familiar so one has the
opportunity to notice the background and
the settings. The old kitchens in the movie
were great, I loved the wood stoves and
hand pumping sinks. The cars were all classics while the woodwork in the homes was
breathtaking. I was just engulfed by the atmosphere, so many frilly dresses, decorative hats,
ribbons and bows, when did we as a society stop dressing so nicely?
I was entertained for just over 3 hours watching this movie and there was none of the following; no
murders, no gun play, no love scenes or nudity, no swearing, no car chases or crashes, nor any
infidelity. I did see (or hear) numerous direct references to God and patriotism, I wonder why movie
audiences at the time weren't offended the way that we are TOLD (I don't believe it) that folks would
be offended today?
Since I'm talking movies, if you enjoyed Pollyanna then be sure to check out Auntie Mame. I will
never forget the sick feeling I got when Patrick alludes to Mame that he is embarrassed to
introduce her to his snobby fiance. A truly great movie.
I am an Ocicat. My duties include; security (rodents), counter intelligence (predators), infiltration
(sneaking) and night surveillance. I live in NE Minnesota on 10 wooded acres with; my best friend
Mocha, two dogs, chickens, Guinea Hens, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Cascade Sheep, and a few
humans. When we moved here it was completely wooded, our plan is to turn this property into a
working homestead.
