Edward Everett Horton, this guy was in dozens or more great movies & has one of the best voices in
Hollywood history.........

It seemed like Edward Everett Horton appeared in just about every Hollywood comedy made in the 1930s. He was always the perfect counterpart to the great gentlemen and protagonists of the films. Like many of his contemporaries, Horton came to the movies from the theatre, where he debuted in 1906. He made his film debut in 1922...


from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002143/

He worked from 1922 to 1971 in was so many great movies & shows I will not waste space here listing them.

I have the first set of Rocky/Bullwinkle DVD's and at 51 yo, the humor is so subtle & smart, I don't understand why I loved it so much as a kid.

I enjoyed the Rocky/Bullwinkle move also. It only gets a 4.1 rating on IMDB but i would give it a 7/10.

That's where you have a TV show/movie/book/whatnot that you laugh at and enjoy when you're 7, and then again when you're 17, and then again when you're 47...

Timeless and multi-layered.

Not only are we now rewriting the news and history, we are now delivering individualized versions via the Internet.
