A Movie A Day: Quint on UNTIL THEY SAIL (1957) Okay, I’ll do what you say. I won’t walk with Americans until I’m 17.
08/25/08 Quint here with today's installment of A Movie A Day. [For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge. My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.] | Ain't It Cool News
