I adored Glynis Johns - wonderful in comedy or serious roles both in films and on the stage. Lovely to see this sweet film turn up here, but honesty she could play just about any kind of role and make it believable.

I recently downloaded and watched the first hour of her movie "The Sword and the Rose" but got busy and had to save it for later. It's not one of her better movies, but it's still worth watching.

Thanks. Your remark is refreshing. I don't recall how many years ago I wrote the lyrics; but I tried and failed to create a video way back in 2011. My singing voice is not suitable for that type of song, I don't play a musical instrument, and in those days I didn't have the means to download videos from the internet. BTW, the old man in the thumbnail was a British POW in Taiwan during World War 2. The boy on the right is my son as a Boy Scout. He's now approaching 30.

I do not believe it would have happened! Those were a different breed of America man! Sorry, I'm rattling on, but the situation America is in now makes so angry!! This should never have happened to America!! I'm sorry but I'm old enough to be angry and oppinunated! I blame more than biden! I blame the rest of our government that stood by and closed their eyes to every thing that biden and his administration were doing! He was NOT ELECTED!!

OR DON'T HAVE THEIR RIGHTS BACK AFTER PRISON TIME!!! AND EVERYTHING THATS BEING DONE TO KEEP PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM RUNNING! WE ALL KNOW THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO HIM IF HE WASN'T RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY! The judicial system or court system is so crooked, backstabbing, lying, making decisions that he's guilty before He's even been to court! Charging him with the stupidest things! Smearing his name all over the world! Women coming out of the ditches spouting lies!!! Where is the statue of limitation???! Look what was done to bBill Cosby! Both are ridiculous! They weren't raped or drugged! And after a lifetime,now you come crying! H### NO!! IF YOU DIDNT REPORT IT WHEN IT HAPPENED,THEN SHUT UP! THEY WERE HAPPY TO DO WHATEVER FOR WHATEVER!!

You mentioned Bill Cosby. Even if Cosby were guilty as charged, even as heinous as the charge was, that's not everything Bill Cosby was. He probably did more to promote interracial understanding than anyone else of my lifetime (I'm 75). He didn't become successful by making jokes about being black; he did it by sharing thoughts about conditions that are common to all of us. And when he was cast in that spy series, he was intended to be a sort of Tonto to Robert Culp's Lone Ranger. Instead, he quickly turned it into TV's version of what would later be called a "buddy movie." I hope there's a redemption for Bill Cosby. In spite of what he may have done wrong (we've all done wrong), I still see the better angel of his nature.

You're referring to "Mister Peabody and the Mermaid," which was released the same year as "Miranda" (1948). It's an absolutely delightful movie. In the movie, the mermaid (Ann Blyth) has no dialog. In the years since I've watched it, I've learned to appreciate minimalist dialog, so I'll have to watch it again. P.S. Both "Mister Peabody and the Mermaid" and "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" were filmed at Weeki Wachee Springs in Florida at the same time. Because the main characters had to stay in costume, tourists were surprised to see Frankenstein's monster eating lunch with a mermaid.

Good observation. It's called retroactive continuity, or "retconning," for short. When makers of a movie or TV show find that something in the present installment of a series contradicts something in an earlier installment, they either try to explain it away, or they just pretend it never happened. When "Dallas" decided to bring Bobby Ewing back from the dead, they pretended that an entire season of "Dallas" was just someone's dream. Politicians and "journalists" of the "news" media do it all the time.

Probably everyone in America has known since the age of five that the Biblical Joseph (who was not black) was sold Egyptians (who were not white) in slavery. They probably also know that the Bible is heavily larded with references to slavery that didn't involve black people. Yet those same people, ever prone to compartmentalize things, fail to observe things they've known all their lives if it contradicts a popular political narrative.
