The Adventures of Martin Eden (1942)
Martin Eden the writer
The first time I saw this movie was in the early forties, when I was fourteen years old, the part I remembered best was the line; you ask for a dime at a time, and then the fist fights as boy's and as men, life aboard a ship. And I always liked the acting of Ian MacDonald as a heavy.
Claire Trevor another favorite of mine, as the girl who was always faithful, and stuck with her man even though she was losing him.
Evelyn Keyes as the haughty rich girl as one reader said.
The girl who had everything, Stu Erwin is good too and the little boy whom I did not recognize,'till the closing credits rolled Dickie Moore. And Eden's goodbye to Raglan; he said a dime at a time and to me it looked like they parted as friendly enemies.
I had been looking for this movie ever since I got my first BETA-MAX VTR as they were first called(Video Tape Recoders)I got my copy last week and I've really enjoyed it. "Boompa" kingcody3@comcast.net
Marty (1955)
Re. missing scene
After Marty takes his date Clara home, she walks up the stairs and the scene where she opens the door, walks to her room passing her parents room, she stops and enters their room where they are sitting waiting for her to see how everything went, she sits on the side of the bed and tells about her date with Marty, telling them what he does for a living where they stopped for a coke about the walking and Marty's non-stop talking, she tells them he may call her the next day and so she tells them she will remain at home if he does call when she is finished and leaves the room her father remarks to her mother I sure hope that boy calls her because I sure love that girl. This whole scene has been cut, I have a BETA pre-recorded copy which has this scene in it so I copied it to to a VHS copy and added this scene to it. The VHS and DVD copies do not have this scene in it. This is not the Oscar winning movie. End P.S The scenes have been restored. Thank You TCM
