Having grown sick (as in actually queasy) of reality TV and over-sensationalized drama series, I’ve spent my wind-down hour with the American Movie Classic channel the past few nights.  After watching Althea’s eyes well up one too many times with each morbidly obese Biggest Loser contestant who has gone from 450 lbs to 400lbs, I’ve retreated to the bedroom to remind myself where it all began.  Very refreshing – simple stories, a clear protagonist, a love interest, dialogue with a tempo, a conflict, some humor, signs that say “feed, $1”, and a Hollywood ending.  If it ain’t broke…     And even if a plot in which oil seeking wildcats strike it rich and lose it all three times over (Boom Town, 1940) is as far fetched as snakes on a plane – anything filmed in black and white with mountains in the background has to be authentic.
