Hey Flora. Thanks for your input on our latest classic page. Tally count: 13 for you and 6 for me. I have seen three of your favorites, actually the top three you mentioned, so maybe I saw the right ones. Only seen one of your other movies. Somewhat surprised that you have not seen The Life of Emile Zola….I liked that one a lot. Good stuff as always.
You have Night in Paradise ranked 0 on top.

Don’t know much about Gale’s comic skills but she’s in 3 Bob Hope films, an Abbott & Costello and an Olsen and Johnson.
Hey Dan. As always you are the man for posting these trivia lists. I agree with you 100% about the spelling of her name. Continuing to work through my best supporting Oscar winners. Finally getting to a decent number, as it seems I’ve been writing these pages for a while now. I’m guessing I have already written a page for this year’s winner. I am not seen many of her movies, but I have seen her interacting with Bob Hope, and she more than holds her own. Having Bette Davis as your most frequent Oracle costar is pretty cool. Granted she was tied with John Carradine, but I think Davis has a bigger name.Actually surprised about her Oscar-winning post our list, I would’ve guessed lower. As always your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
