Love of country? Jean Arthur is one of my favorites. She and Stewart are lovely in You Can't Take it With you (if you haven't seen it). She's great with Gary Cooper in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.
You know, I think it's so cool that at your age you have such a love for the classics. . Yes Jean Authur is great - She really brightens up the screen! I have both of those movies.
Both of my kids tell me how much they appreciate the fact that I brought them up on the classics. They don't run into too many their age that has an interest in that time in movie history. My 2 kids are in their early 40's. We have the movie Princess Bride too. The kids loved the part that began ma-wage is whot bwings us togewer today.
