I ...Thank you so much for your kind words, Dorian! I just took a look at your "Tales of the Easily Distracted" blog and am anxious to read your posts about classic mystery films! Encouragement and appreciation is always welcomed by me, particularly when it comes from a like-minded and like-learned source. It is also reciprocal - I in turn wish you every success with your endeavor, too!Paul Castigliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311677339576296386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336951618302437812.post-7918156550515084672012-02-25T12:13:09.012-05:002012-02-25T12:13:09.012-05:00Paul, the comedy-thriller is my favorite genre, wh...Paul, the comedy-thriller is my favorite genre, whether the "thriller" part is the result of supernatural creeps or flesh-and-blood bad guys, so I was delighted to discover your blog SCARED SILLY! I'm especially glad to have found your GHOST BREAKERS blog post, because I've been trying to catch up with it for ages. I very much enjoyed your detailed post, including the behind-the-scenes information, and all those wonderful gags! <br /><br />What a cast, from the dynamic duo of Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard (both so young and yummy) to Anthony Quinn to Willie Best, a brilliant comedian in his own right! I agree that it's a shame about the demeaning race jokes, but unfortunately, you can't fault people for NOT being ahead of their time. Short of inventing a time machine to try to undo the bad behavior of the past, the best any of us can do is to make sure we as a people will know better moving forward.<br /><br />Good luck getting your book published, if it hasn't been picked up by some enterprising publisher already! I'd happily buy a copy!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.com
