Well this is as close to the CMS as I get BUT I have seen that movie several times. Spencer Tracy and that kid are the main characters and I never noticed that Harry Bellaver had a small part in the movie and I still see him every saturday night on the old tv show that started a couple years after that movie (The Naked City) The Old Man and the Sea movie was born the same year as I was (1958) I think I will have to watch it again next time I find it on. Yeah everything about the LHC is HUGE especially if you stand near something like the CMS ID: 432 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
