A great visual story as always and Mary's always a beaut imo. And unrelated and that never stopped me, especially when I'm home batching it with Netflix and Rusko the Wonder Dog ... but there's only one man I can think of who might have enjoyed this line as much as I did even if he can't remember it off the top of his head: "Have a beer on me, Sam, and throw a pinch of salt over your shoulder – this case is beginning to move."
Named for Katie-Bar-The-Door, the Katies are "alternate Oscars"—who should have been nominated, who should have won—but really they're just an excuse to write a history of the movies from the Silent Era to the present day.

Remember: There are no wrong answers, only movies you haven't seen yet.
The Silent Oscars
And don't forget to check out the Silent Oscars—my year-by-year choices for best picture, director and all four acting categories for the pre-Oscar years, 1902-1927.
Look at me—Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Are my eyes really brown? Uh, no, they're green. Would we have the nerve to dive into the icy water and save a person from drowning? That's a key question. I, of course, can't swim, so I never have to face it. Say, haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions?

And here's how it ended: "There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them."
Ah, yes, The Naked City -- a great movie, and a very influential one, both in terms of police procedurals and shooting on location.
Won an Oscar for cinematography ...
