      Did any of that love of Gunga Din pass on to you? It’s interesting, just considering the question more broadly, that I inherited almost none of my father’s tastes or interests. We were very close in a lot of ways, but read different books, liked different movies. And it was more than just generational. Even our tastes when it came to old books and movies varied.

      I still have not seen Where’s Poppa? even though it’s been on my list of movies I’ve been meaning to watch for many years now.

    My father was a science fiction reader so that interest was passed along to us. I see why he liked Gunga Din (he probably saw it in the theatre as a kid) but I’m not wild about Cary Grant in his frenetic mode. My high school friends laughed inappropriately when Sam Jaffe is killed in mid-trumpet blast, causing a sour note as he collapses.
