It's on Turner Classic Movies now. Anyone else watching it or seen it?

70 or 80 times. Mmmm, Angie!
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Great movie, with Tony Curtis' necessary comic relief.  It is a wonder they all didn't come back with extreme mental problems.  I can see getting the airmen to go up the first time.  But the 5th, 20th . . . ?  And then the commanders watching for those they sent out and counting who didn't come back.  (Eddie Arnold's character)  My dad was a radar officer for a B-17 squadron.  He couldn't watch Memphis Belle - and  he didn't fly combat.
