Movies for the Day, Monday, November 6, 2017

Today's movies mark a World War I campaign, the birthday of John Philip Sousa, and the birthday of actress Sally Field.




The Lost Patrol (1934) is about a British
patrol lost in the Mespotamian desert and under
attack by soldiers of the Ottoman
Empire.  This story takes place during the
Mespotamian campaign of World War I,
from November 6 to November 14, 1918.  This
is an excellent movie.

patriotic week- Election Day is tomorrow
and Veterans Day is Saturday.
