Haviel Havalin #161, The Pidgeon Break, is up.
Does this mean our gracious hostess sits down and watches movies that feature Walter Pidgeon?
Excellent.
Pidgeon was a durable leading man who has appeared in some of Hollywood's greatest films, and opposite Hollywood's most luminous leading ladies. Like many leading men who were not pretty boys, Pidgeon was taken for granted and never quite given his due.

Walter Pidgeon and Greer Garson in Mrs. Miniver, 1942.
We'd like to thank JTown Underground for including Seraphic Secret's The Son of Stranger Among Us, in this week's round-up.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Make my heart go a flutter. Now there was a man and a wonderful actor. My grandfather worked for MGM under Johnny Green and had some wonderful stories. I would take the actors of yesteryear over anyone today. Hope your weekend is going well.I am following your advice and keeping in touch. :)

I'd love to hear some of your grandfather's stories. MGM was the studio, as you well know.
Another durable leading man who was totally taken for granted: the great Fred MacMurray.
