The first movie I remember ever seeing was THE EGG AND I (1947) with him and Claudette Colbert. It was the film that introduced Ma and Pa Kettle. For me, DOUBLE INDEMNITY was and continues to be MacMurray at his best. The sitcom MY 3 SONS was in my mind a real step-down for him, and I never watched it.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-30263775960495882162012-04-10T14:01:15.904-04:002012-04-10T14:01:15.904-04:00I liked it until Considine left.
