Kirk Douglas@100...Ace In The Hollywood

Today December 9 2016 is 100th birthday of Kirk Douglas


Over the years, I have seen (more than once) and thoroughly enjoyed many films of Mr. Douglas...Out of the Past, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Ace in the Hole, The Bad and the Beautiful, Paths of Glory...some of the best movies I have ever seen....

However, I could never imagine him as a schoolteacher. But here goes...
