Admiral Henry Fonda: "We all know the Navy is never wrong, but sometimes it's a bit slow about being right"--ibid.
Dreamed of a British sitcom about a husband trying to stop his wife from seeing a certain TV show; a movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Clara Bow as a sailor and his nurse girlfriend at Pearl Harbor just before the Japanese attack. (In the William Wellman documentary I saw the night before, they showed clips from his Wings, with Buddy Rogers--whose resemblance to Downey I'd noticed--as a World War I fighter pilot and Bow as a nurse he was attracted to.)
Got an Ebay package of Buck Rogers and Connie comic strip reprints.
Dinner was fettucine alfredo (which I cooked).
Saw Otto Preminger's In Harm's Way at the Cinematheque. It's a long and pretty conventional war movie about the U.S. Navy after the Pearl Harbor raid (hence last night's dream).
