Saw it.  Did you see Dicaprio movie playing Howard Hughes?  Anyway when Kate Blanchette and he, Errol Flynn and his publicist were in a swank restaurant.

The performers on stage singing Happy Feet were called the rhythm boys. One of which was Bing Crosby back in that era.

Hajo,

No; I did not see that.

Sounds like you have some stories to tell; please tell them.

Caught that last week. Great work up on Bing and they didn't skirt the dirt. American Masters is a great program. Their episode earlier this year on George Plimpton was fascinating.

I've been a big fan of PBS for years.  Whenever they spotlight someone they do a thorough and entertaining job.

Always worth watching.  I think  Ken Burns lives there  :aok

 I always enjoy watching Ken Burns work, the World War 2 documentary he did was outstanding.
