Watched Destination Tokyo today as well. WWII propaganda piece (1942) starring Cary Grant as a submarine captain who sneaks into Tokyo Bay to provide intelligence for the first U.S. bombing runs.

I'm partial to submarine movies and this is an early one. It is interesting to see many of the conventions already in place as well as some amusing model work (it would seem the ocean is never more than about 200 feet deep).

Lani was not so amused when I repeated back to her what the movie had taught me about the Japanese people (did you know that they sold their girls off to factories when they turned 12 and because women were only good for working and babies the language doesn't have a word for love?).

For me, swap out Radio Days for Mighty Aphrodite and were good. My favorite part of Love and Death is the use throughout the film of Prokofiev's Lt. Kije Suite.

The music is always one of my favorite things about Woody Allen films, much humor, much irony in it. In Bullets Over Broadwa, it never fails to have me on the floor in , LMAO when
