I live in Canada. You know one thing that's frustrating about living in Canada? We can't access videos on hulu.com. I didn't know that until just now. Let's backtrack a bit.

I just watched the 1944 movie Laura (Great film noir - watch it!). I became interested in its main actors and wanted to see what else they'd appeared in. Good ol' imdb comes to the rescue. I want to see more of Dana Andrews's movies. Why? Cause I'm a girl, and he's like, the embodiment of the quintessential 40s man, duh. :D

Ok, so he's not necessarily a popular, or terribly celebrated star (alcoholism in the 50s can do that to a career...) (so can being considered to have been in the right place at the right time i.e. he may have gotten some lead actor roles because the BIG stars were away at war, perhaps), but there were several movies that I felt I should try to watch. One of them is Boomerang!, directed by Elia Kazan (dun dun dun). I read that Dana did a pretty darn good job in this movie, and therefore I decided that I NEED TO WATCH. I learned that despite the DVDs being pulled off the market shortly after being released (something about contracts or copyrights or something..), it was on this website called "hulu.com" for free.

FOR FREE! Dana Andrews in Boomerang! FREE!!! UNIVERSE, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN.
www.hulu.com/boomerang is the url, in case any of you is American and wants to watch it and then tell me all about it, making me even more jealous. Cause YES, Boomerang! is on the internet for free, but NO, I can't watch it, cause I am Canadian, and hulu.com doesn't like us non-Americans much.
Can you imagine my frustration and disappointment? It is completely palpable.

Watch The Best Years of our Lives, too!
Dana Andrews is completely underrated. That is all.
