It does look good. Battle of Scheveningen 31 July 1653 Julian calendar William III (King Billy) was born on 4 November 1650, so he was age 2 at the time. From 30 January 1649 until 2 May 1660 Great Britain was without a monarch and was facing bloody wars under Oliver Cromwell. OC was called Lord Protector of England (which, at the time, included Wales), Scotland and Ireland from 16 December 1653. The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands lasted from 1581–1795, hence comment about the Netherlands being the only Republic in the world. |

Adam Sandler's Sony Worldwide Boxoffice revenue of $3,378.80 million for production budget of $1,148.70 + 2 unknown.
While it does seem as if his movies are pretty awful, the numbers don't lie. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Aquarius is an NBC show, the first season is on Nflix. Totally impressed with every aspect of this show. It's loosely based around Charles Manson and his 'family' in the late 60's. David Duchovny is super as an LA cop, best I've seen from him. They capture the late 60's perfectly. The macho men, the racism, the brutality of the police. The drugs and the hippies and the 60's cars. This is a really good show. Season 2 started today. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Hat's off to Duchovny who spent his early years earning a B.A. in English Literature from Princeton University, an M.A. in English Literature from Yale University and made his first screen appearance in his late 20's. He may be one of the more literate actors. |

He's believable in every role he plays. I thought Californication was good, this is even better. I forgot how much people feared the cops in the 60's, they could get away with whatever they wanted, almost. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | How to Marry A Millionaire was a fun film (1953) . CinemaScope was used from 1953 to 1967 and would bring widescreen format to movies to battle the upcoming television. How to Marry a Millionaire was the first film completed in this format, but they delayed the release until after "The Robe" so that families could go to the first widescreen film.
Lauren Bacall had married Humphrey Bogart when she was age 20-21. He was 24 years older. William Powell was actually age 61 when this film was released, and Lauren Bacall was age 29. So they took 4 years off her age so they could take 5 years off of his. I guess they felt that a man over age 60 marrying a girl in her mid 20's was scandalous. Either that or William Powell was vain. David Wayne plays Marilyn Monroe's love interest. However, his best part was in Adam's Rib. |
