I love the theme song to Flaming Star! Part of that film was made in Thousand Oaks at a spot I used to hike by when I lived there.
Hi Deb,
I haven't seen that one! Will have to make a note to record it. Love your familiarity with the location. :)
Best wishes,
Laura
The funny thing is that I'm not really an Elvis fan. LOL! But I do like that theme song. And he sings another song as part of the movie I quite enjoyed. I originally rented this movie to see Steve Forrest, mostly out of curiosity because he was Dana Andrews' brother. The movie isn't particularly good, but it has some good parts, and some odd ones. And the ending kind of made me go, huh?? I remember I really liked John McIntyre in his role. :-D
I saw TALES OF MANHATTAN recently. What a cast Fox assembled - Boyer, Hayworth,Rogers, Fonda, Laughton,Robinson
And then Ethel Waters, Paul Robeson,Thomas Mitchell,James Gleason,Elsa Lanchester,J.Carrol Naish,Cesar Romero, Eugene Pallette.
Wow! And all about a gentleman's suit which passes from one group to another.
My favorite story was Charles Laughton as an aspiring composer.
