As well as the I-hope-it-wins-the-Oscar-for-best-picture The King's Speech, I also watched a movie on DVD this weekend. "Summer Holiday," from 1963, I think, starring Cliff Richard and featuring the Shadows, his backup band. It is one of those nice, harmless, fun, pleasant, enjoyable musicals from before rock and roll decided it had to be Significant and Deep, and so many movies got skeevy. I've been on an early rock'n'roll kick lately - been listening to Buddy Holly (and True Love Ways just turns me into a big (sadly, *very* big) mushy, happy blob), and Ritchie Valens (I still can't get over the fact that he was *seventeen* when he died), and Cliff Richard. Who seems to have covered several of Holly's and Valens' songs. But then, he's had time to do it.
Also, I got my copy of vol. 1 of the new reprinting of Prince Valiant - the 1937-38 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Valiant-Vol-1-1937-1938/dp/1606991418/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295321786&sr=8-1 *Gorgeous*!
