One of the reasons I started this blog was to have a place where I could save favorite scenes from the movies. For the first few years I was limited to transcriptions and I relied heavily on Colin’s movie monologue page. It’s still out there but doesn’t appear to have been updated in several years.

The original post got lost somewhere along the way and this clip from Gold Diggers of 1933 is one of my favorites. Ginger Rogers sining in pig latin? Oh yes.

Trackdown (Trump con man episode)
“Trackdown is an American Western television series starring Robert Culp that aired more than 70 episodes on CBS between 1957 and 1959. Trackdown was a spin-off of Dick Powell’s Zane Grey Theater. Trackdown stars Robert Culp as Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman. It is set in the 1870s after the American Civil War. In early episodes, stories focused on Gilman going to different Texas towns in pursuit of wanted fugitives.” (Wikipedia)
I was nine years old in 1957 and remember watching Trackdown every week (no binge-watching back then). In those days we watched everything but westerns were must-see TV. In a 1958 episode a con mand named Trump comes to down and warns people the world will be destroyed and only he can save them… by building a wall.
And the actor playing Trump in the episode… looks a little like Fred Trump (right).
