A LONG-LIVING LEGEND.

A Letter to Three Wives, The Bad and the Beautiful, Lonely Are the Brave, The Big Sky, Last Train from Gun Hill. Detective Story, Young Man With a Horn, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. These are just some of the dozens of films in which Kirk Douglas starred since his first film appearance in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers in 1946. But if you watched any of the idiotic national news programs today you might think that he only starred in Spartacus, since they seem to have no knowledge of film history. While Kirk is one of my least favorite film giants, he is immensely important and deserves all kinds of recognition, especially today on his 100th birthday. My personal favorite Kirk Douglas film? Strangers When We Meet.

    Oh, bless his heart. For a minute, when we saw your post, we were afraid he had died. We are not unadulterated fans, but we respect his body of work. Our fave: "Seven Days in May."
