Don't be so over analytical! Screen writer F. Hugh Herbert and others of his ilk didn't live long enough to know what the internet would be, or become, certainly not imagining that in 2020 there would be websites such as IMDB that would have fans of motion pictures discussing and rating the films that they saw. Mr. Herbert would have gotten a kick out of some of the reviews about "Our Very Own" especially the member nut case "Trpdean" talk about over analytical, good lord! Screenplays are a certain type of animal and it takes a good film director, producer and crew to make a good motion picture out of a few hundred pages of script! Motion pictures are a tremendous undertaking that requires the technical skills and talents of hundreds or men and women to produce such a thing we call movies! The reason I love this old picture for copious reasons! (I use that word "copious" for old "Trpdean") Copious indeed, but here are a few things I love about it. First off it was made at the best time in our country! There are no cell phones, smart phones, computers, women with colored hair, idiots running around covered with ugly tattoos, no CGI, no dumb car chases, foul language, sex scenes, actors with marbles in their mouths that you can't even understand what they are saying? Hand held cameras, loud over recorded sound effects, natural lighting and dark scenes that look even worse in digital cinema! (digital cinema sucks anyway!) This list of things this picture doesn't have that I like about it is endless! No covid-19 masks, no Mr. Trump or Mr. Biden, no 24 hour hell! As 2020 comes to a close, I am going to pull out the 16mm sound projector and watch a beautiful original print of Szmuel Gelbfisz's "Our Very Own" on the big screen in glorious black and white! Joan Evans was a hottie! Ann Blyth was beautiful, Farley Granger was a talented and handsome leading man, Jane Wyatt was a good looking woman, Gus Schilling was a crack up! Love little Natalie Wood, Phyllis Kirk was a babe, love them all! They all blow away all of the horrible actors of today! Movies and TV shows suck now! They have since the 1970's! It's been 40 years of trash, with very few exceptions! So get out your Covid-19 masks, take a poisonous vaccine and hope you don't die,
and enjoy "Our Very Own" Now where did I put that darn old covid-19 mask?
