ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – EACH DAWN I DIE (1939)

 

“Each Dawn I Die” is a Crime Drama, screenplay by Norman Reilly and Raine Warren Duff, from a Novel by Jerome Odlum and Directed by William Keighley.

In this prison classic, a top notch newspaper reporter Frank Ross (James Cagney) angers a corrupt District Attorney with political ambitions, and with Ross’s news stories implicating him in criminal activity he decides to frame Ross for manslaughter in order to silence him.

Although innocent, he is found guilty and is sent to jail but while his friends at the newspaper try to find out who framed him, Frank gets hardened by prison life and his optimism turns to bitterness and then he meets fellow-inmate 'Hood' Stacey (George Raft) and they decide to help each other.

This impressive crime drama also features: George Bancroft, Maxie Rosenbloom, Victor Jory, Emma Dunn, Stanley Ridges and John Wray.

VOICES RAGE IN MY HEAD

 

As I sit in the silence

Voices rage in my head

As it wrestles with my heart

Who should I trust?

The logic in my head

Or the love in my heart

I KNOW I’M GETTING OLD # 4

 

I know I’m getting old

In the most fundamental of ways

When children ask me

What it was like in the olden days

HUMEROUS HAIKU # 8

 

Rudyard Kipling once

Said, never look backwards, you

Will fall down the stair

FRED ASTAIRE WAS BELIEVED TO BE

 

Fred Astaire was believed to be

The greatest Dancer in his field

But Ginger Rodgers did the same

Only backwards and in heels

MY IPHONE IS FROZEN

 

My iPhone is frozen

My Mac is deceased

My iPad misplaced

And my iPod is dead 

In fact all my Apple’s

Have gone pear shaped

GLOB IS AN ACRONYM

 

GLOB is an acronym

Which may sound absurd

But not when you have found

A Good Looking Old Bird
