The year was an amazing one for movies. Casablanca is probably the most famous, but Mrs Miniver, The Pride of the Yankees, are well represented in the history of that year.
@beermeplease That was a good show, at first Caroll O'Connor was offended by Archie Bunker and refused to take the part, until Norman Lear explained to him that the premise was to show just how ugly and hateful bigotry was, and that he had free reign to make Bunker look just as hateful as he could make him to get the point across, Rob Reiner once said in an interview that O'Connor was so liberally democrat that O'Connor made him look like a Nixon conservative.
@NativePortlander1970 i actually believe that show taught me tolerance. i'd put it on all by myself while mom and dad were doing whatever. "meathead" would always set archie straight and i recognized that even as a 5 or 7 y/o...i loved the episode when archie was in the hospital and the guy next to him was french. they had a conversation but couldn't see each other because of the curtain. archie took a liking to the guy and asked if he could see "frenchie" in person....the look on archie's face when he saw that he was a black man when they looked beyond the curtain 🤣
