Movies for the Day, Sunday, August 16, 2020

Today's movies mark Betty Boop, the birthday of Napolean, and India's national day.

Which of today's movies would you watch?









Bimbo's Initiation (1931) is a great
and odd cartoon about the saving of
Bimbo the dog from an "initiation" by
Betty Boop who was created by Grim
Natwick, born August 16, 1890.

Day.
