1. Happy Father's Day to all our Classic Films Group dads!

To quote a song by one of my favorite, Groucho Marx:

Today, father, is father's day
And we're giving you a tie.
It's not much, we know,
It is just our way of showing you
We think you're a regular guy.
You say it was nice of us to bother,
But it really was a pleasure to fuss,
For according to our mother, you're our father,
And that's good enough for us!
