IMHO his movies accomplished more for American morale during wartime than he could have accomplished as an anonymous single middle aged soldier. He was 10 - 11 years old during WWI, a little young to enlist. Likely a majority of adult males smoked during most of his adult life, up until around 1964. His smoking was not unusual or even frowned upon in those days. It was considered sociable. (ugh) A lot of hard liquor used to be consumed, at least in the movies, along with a lot of cigarette smoking. During my 20s and 30s the "three martini lunch" on a salesman's expense account was pretty common.

As to his movies, I have and enjoy a few of his old "cliffhanger" serials like "The Hurricane Express" and "The Three Mesquiteers". Good, old fashioned fun. |
