While watching the old Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle" recently, I noticed Dick Elliott (our little fat mayor) in a brief role as a train conductor. What I found interesting was his line to Fred Astaire in reference to Ginger Rogers. He said, "Better kiss her. It's a long time till next Sunday." This was so similar to his also-brief scene in "It's a Wonderful Life" when he asked Jimmy Stewart something like, "Why don't you kiss her?" about Donna Reed.
Also, I spotted a younger Delos Jewkes (Glenn Cripe of the Mayberry choir) as part of a cowboy choir in a short film from 1939 called "The Royal Rodeo."
