New Boy in Heaven

I think I had the Grumpy Old Men movie in mind as I wrote this today.
Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathhau battling it out over a "no-spring-chicken" new girl in town.

Also, today in Yahoo, an item about the 10 most biographically inaccurate movies...

THE HURRICANE

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was an African-American boxer who was jailed for murder and eventually released after a couple appeals. That's about all that's factually true about this film. Carter didn't leave the military with service ribbons, but instead was kicked out after getting court-martialed. He didn't lose the boxing match with Joey Giardello because of bigoted judges; he lost it because Giardello cleaned his clock. And Della Pesca, the racist detective with a serious grudge against Carter, was completely and utterly made-up.

******************************

"Cleaned his clock," messed up his face, in other words.

Father Time is no plastic surgeon
but he does make some alterations to our faces, sometimes for the better! :-)

NEW BOY IN HEAVEN



Time has cleaned your clock,
the hands went round so fast;
now you're a new boy in heaven
with a brand-new watch.
