Thanks, I needed that! I wonder whether *Foreign Affair* or *Witness for
the Prosecution* is available on DVD -- they're not titles I've ever
thought of while in the store -- I don't specially care for *Destry
Rides Again* ... I think I have seen one with both the German and the
English versions of *Blue Angel* ... almost got to see her at Expo '67,
but my mother claimed she wasn't suitable for a 15-year-old ... she also
wouldn't let me go see Judy Garland at the Palace, claiming she'd be
back again next year ...
