Something Wonderful

In a world full of destruction and chaos there is hope that comes to us in mysterious forms. Last night, or actually this morning, I was awakened by my sister (Pandy) and my cousin (Greg) who were in my cousin's living room (where I was trying to sleep after an 8 hour drive, about 6 beers, a chicken sandwich, and non-stop talking) watching a movie. I woke up long enough to absorb the object of their fascination and it turns out that what they were watching was Something Wonderful. It was a movie entitled "The Terror of Tiny Town," and it might be the greatest movie ever made.

I don't know how many awards this movie won in 1937 (I was just a lad), but it has something for everyone. A hero all dressed in white and riding a white horse, bad guys, babes, and a plot.

I will hate many things today, but this fine movie will not be one of them.
