Many thanks for the help. I did find Mans (searched on man's) under
'favorite' keyword. am DLing it now. will DL SAC and check it out. Am
interested in a good copy. Surprised it was '55. I guess it's older
than I thought. I was a LOT of movies as a kid growing up in Taipei.
Had a family friend who was in movie distribution and he would take me
to the theatre back doors, would see double headers (at different
houses) on a saturday. I remember all the Alfred Hitchcock ones, List
of Adrian Messenger, Escapade in Japan and many others. Movies on base
were a quarter, which included popcorn...
