This memorial weekend, let us be thankful for the past generations and their sacrifices. But let us also be reminded that old men make decisions, and young men die sometimes! Today, many veterans have suffered from isolation, depression, PTSD, drug abuse, and more. First, I had to shadowbox my demons battling PTSD and chronic fatigue, but I may be an exception because I found comfort in knowing and understanding God better. Second, I realize I can't change this world, nor does the world want to be changed, so over the years, I have spent time collecting laughter and reality from the past, which took today's troubles away! Finally, I make it my priority once a week to turn off today's world and enjoy a good line of movies from nearly 100 years ago.
Why? Because that world on the screen gave me the humor and peace I sought." If you are a veteran or someone who enjoys classic Hollywood entertainment and is looking for a quiet corner, join me at https://filmnoirclassics.locals.com/
God Bless the Great State of Florida! God bless the Men and Women who serve in the Armed Forces!

From Russia with Love is a 1963 spy film. It is the second in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions and Sean Connery's second role as MI6 agent 007 James Bond.
The picture was directed by Terence Young, produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and written by Richard Maibaum and Johanna Harwood. It is based on Ian Fleming's 1957 novel From Russia, with Love. In the film, Bond is sent to assist in the defection of Soviet consulate clerk Tatiana Romanova in Turkey, where SPECTRE plans to avenge Bond's killing of Dr. No. The film followed Dr. No (1962) and was followed by Goldfinger (1964).
Following the success of Dr. No, United Artists greenlit a sequel and doubled the budget available for the producers. In addition to filming on location in Turkey, the action scenes were shot at Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, and in Scotland. Production ran over budget and schedule and was rushed to finish by its scheduled October 1963 release date.
