This is such a refreshing topic.
As Sue just said you have to start em young.
My kids have been brought up on Laurel and Hardy, my eldest at 16 still
laughs at the last brick gag. My middle one will watch anything as long as it's
quality and she sees the detail of a good film noir and loves it.
My little boy will laugh at L&H and enjoy a good war movie too.
Stars of the Thirties will never be forgotten as long as there are those of
us who carry the torch but what is happening is the new generation are being
starved of this wealth of wondeful material, how many times does say
Casablanca get a revisit at the cinema let alone TV.
My eldest daughter did an English project on Angels with Dirty Faces, one of
the greatest gangster films ever made, her teacher hadn't even heard of it!
She was able to compare it with The Godfather and Goodfellas.
We need some of the people more familiar with these films to have them
aired. Even things like The Shadow and the lesser known films of the 1930's
need
to be shown for posterity sake.
