Wow: What An Incredible Night On TCM -- A Night Of Dean Martin -- The King Of Cool -- November 26, 2021

****************************
Note For The Grandchildren

The first movie: Ocean's 11:

  • the casinos, south to north (correct?): the Flamingo, the Sands, the Desert Inn, the Riviera, the Sahara
    • the Flamingo: opened December, 1946; still operating; link;
    • the Sands: opened December, 1952,
    • the Desert Inn: opened April, 1950; closed August, 2000;
    • the Sahara: opened October, 1952; still operating;
    • the Riviera: opened April, 1955; closed May, 2015;
  • My wife and I first visited Las Vegas together on/about March 19, 1977
    • we were married in Las Vegas
    • so, in 1977, all those casinos would have still been operating ... as wells as all those chapels

The second movie: Robin and the Seven Hoods

The third movie: Dean Martin: King Of Cool

  • I saw this the other night, the premier showing, though re-televised about a week later
  • premiered on TCM: Friday, November 19, 2021
  • the documentary is "must-watch TV"

Truly amazing the "new" and original content on Hulu, Disney+, HBO, Netflix. Apple TV, Roku. Truly amazing. We "subscribe" to Hulu; our older daughter and Sophia subscribe to Disney+ and Netflix, but it looks like Disney+ -- in a heap of trouble -- is going to "bundle" this with Hulu for a ridiculously low price. I wouldn't care except that I'm eager to see "Loki" on Disney+.
