I suspect that Robert suffered from a plethora of psychiatric problems when he came home from the war. Richard and some other people say Robert was never the same. The event that seems to have ended their relationship, other than writing songs together, was when Richard wanted out of his marriage and he sent Robert to get his things. Although Richard went back to his wife a few days later, she never forgave Robert. That's when the two families stopped seeing each other.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-87978310339990497672014-08-07T19:52:25.010-04:002014-08-07T19:52:25.010-04:00I hate it when a movie makes me cry in the theater...I hate it when a movie makes me cry in the theater, but that's exactly what Saving Mr. Banks did--especially the scene where the author sees the movie for the first time.

I don't think I'm brave enough to go to the site of a concentration camp. It clearly affected Robert Sherman for the rest of his life.

One of hers was Rex Harrison, who was busy talk/singing his way through My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn, who played Eliza, which was Julie Andrews' role on Broadway. Audrey's voice had to be dubbed, but her casting freed Julie Andrews to play Mary Poppins and win the Academy Award. And on and on I go: I can't imagine Rex Harrison dancing as well as Dick Van Dyke, and I don't recall him ever showing empathy in a role, which DVD did so well. Dick was less than perfect. He admits he was wrong for the role, but he's glad he got to do it.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-35800732687134863932014-08-07T19:18:08.483-04:002014-08-07T19:18:08.483-04:00Tom Hanks is excellent.
