D’oh! Thanks for catching that error – fixed. Now, had it been The Death of Glenn Miller in Venice, well… then that would almost make sense, and yet probably be twice as strange.

Thomas Mann did “The Glenn Miller Story”? How strange!

O.K. monsieur KS, and now Boulder has 100,000+ souls and the rubber duckies still flow down the Creek! (“On April 14, 1894, the world’s first Kinetoscope parlor opened its doors at 1155 Broadway in New York City.”) ["The American Film Industry" edited by Tino Balio]. There is something to be said for drinking at altitude! Go Buffs…I lived in Nederland/Rollinsville area for a few years in the early 1990′s. Leftover Salmon shows at the Stage Stop Inn anyone? whodat, cheers!!

I love history, too, and this was a terrific idea. I really enjoyed reading this timeline of real history and film history.

Hi, Al – thanks for calling my attention to the Poitier mistake, which will now be inserted in its proper place in the upcoming sixties block, along with some tidbits on STAGECOACH (the one starring Slim Pickens). We’re getting snow here too – it’d be a bad time to get lost in the Rockies!

Oops. that was accidentally sent.

Anyway, Hall, a character actor who worked a lot, kills Cooper in the last reel. In Deadwood.

I loved the TV series Deadwood.

Have a good day!

Good, as always.

By now, someone must have told you that Poitier’s Oscar and the movie happened in 1963 (Well, okay the Oscar ceremony was in 1964).

I live in Pittsburgh but feel like I’m in Colorado right now. My town was hit by one of the worst snow storms we ever had.

DeMille made THE PLAINSMAN with Gary Cooper as Wild Bill Hickcock in 1936 and the conclusion, although filmed on the Paramont lot, is supposed to have happened in Deadwood. Weasley Porter Hall, from THE THIN MAN, THE PETRIFIED FOREST

History, I love history and this was a delightful post, to me. Having only visited Colorado once, I enjoyed your description of Boulder and how it started to grow and change through the years. Looking forward to the next enstallment. :)
