@BenMank77 I got my love of old movies from my Dad. He's 84 and in a nursing home, that doesn't have the TCM channel available to him but he's found a way to keep his love of old movie alive by hosting an hour long trivia game with other residents.

Donald Pleasence, seen here with James Garner in THE GREAT ESCAPE ('63), was shot down over France during WWII & ended up in a prison camp called Stalag Luft 1. Garner served during the Korean War & was a "scrounger" for an entire company, much like his character in the film.

A love letter to classic horror, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ('74) is one of Mel Brooks' funniest films, along with being his most atmospheric. It was filmed in black and white on some of the original FRANKENSTEIN sets.
