fisch330 posted:Don't remember seeing that train scene in Donovan's Reef, but I do remember the movie. Speaking of which, Are you familiar with the short movie, "Joe McDoakes"? That night not have been the actual name of the movie but Joe McDoakes is the primary character. In it, he buys a train for his son, won't let him play with it but plays with it himself. He starts to buy more and more trains until it becomes an obsession. In one scene he has track coming out of the kitchen, onto the dining room table, arranged to serve each guest by train. The scene ends when he dumps a bowl of soup right on his Mother in Law's lap.
One funny scene has him going to the hobby shop and seeing the brand new Lionel accessory, Animated Switch Tower, and exclaims: "I gotta have it" and runs out of the store with the prototype. Very funny movie, ending up with his wife taking him to a psychiatrist, only to find out the the "doc" is as much of a train nut as he is. Came out in around 1952 or 1953.
