I sometimes get the Dimbleby brothers mixed up.

Oh, I've got one of my own now: Ted Nugent & Todd Rundgren. I had to google to check that the guy who's a racist is not the same person as the guy who had a feud with the Lennons, and in the time it took me to write this I have already forgotten which is which.

Isn't the Paxton/Pullman thing kind of a cliche by now, even if true?

Also by Capra, and also from 1939! That may actually have made the problem worse until now that I'm consciously aware of it; a kind of feeling that the other film than the one I'm thinking of has somehow shapeshifted or something. Thanks for pinning that one down.
