Saturday 50's Picturegoer

When I was in my teens
Hollywood set the scene;
Powerful producers called the shots
On manufactured landscaped lots,
Adventure,humour excitement
In simple wholsome movie plots-
Hayward and Mature
Wayne & westerns..for sure,
Russell and Marilyn Monroe,
Hope & Crosby.. with miles to go,
Rogers & Astaire,
Hudson & Day with love in the air-
Just to name a few....
Each Saturday standing in a queue..
Awaiting escape ..to somewhere new.

I love this, Brian, for it brought back all those Saturday movies we just couldn't miss. Thanks for naming so many of our favorites--all gone or forgotten. I miss those movies still. :)
