Ralph Kramden, Humphrey Bogart, and Electric Train Sets

It's another hour-long episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, and on this show, we remember the life and career of Jackie Gleason, legendary television and film celebrity. We look back at his early years, his rise in show business, his entry into motion pictures, and his highly successful career in television. We also remember some of his best remembered characters such as Ralph Kramden from the classic "Honeymooners" series. Next we salute the 70th anniversary of the classic motion picture "Casablanca". The epic World War II movie that starred Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, along with a top-notch supporting cast. Learn about some of the goings on with the cast and the deep sentiment involving many of the players, starring and non-starring. If you are familiar with this movie, you will enjoy the recap and anecdotes that we share, and if you are new to classic movies, this will give you a preview of what this film is about. We have a musical number on this show, "Percolator" by Billy Joe and the Checkmates. The 1962 hit was inspired by a coffee percolator doing its job. Finally we talk about model electric trains. How many American kids had a train set while growing up? Maybe you were one of them, whether the small gage or large gage trains, the setups could be simple or elaborate. If you owned a train set way back when, this segment is sure to bring back memories. Our Retro-Commercials are for McDonald's and for Allis-Chalmers. Join us here, on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site!
