Hey BryRog57. Hmmmm…..yet another Dan comment points me in the direction of a comment you wrote that I did not notice until over a year ago….interesting. So you have not seen any George Arliss movies. Well…I will not hold that against you. He was a star 80 years before you were born. Heck I have only seen a handful of his movies….and that was after I reached my 40s….so you still have 9 more years to track down some of his movies. Stay safe!
