As I write this review, some of these 'Believe It or Not' episodes are making the rounds on Turner Classic Movies. Robert Ripley bows out of the narration for the second time in a row after introducing the off-screen Leo Donnely who comments on the oddities presented. As usual, we're treated to a host of totally unrelated subjects starting off with a golf course in Georgia on the site of a Civil War battlefield with military trenches intruding on the landscape. A Sioux Indian who paints landscapes upside down was featured right after a clip of cigar store wooden Indians guarding their owners' shops. An elevator that carried vehicles to the top of an eighteen-story building to get washed reminded me of a recent trip into New York City where I had to find a place to park my car, while a violin made from ten thousand matchsticks was quite curious. Of interest to pet lovers was a story of a Boston Terrier with a set of wheels for back legs fashioned by its owner, and a dog cemetery in Scarsdale, New York. Perhaps the most interesting subject was a home in New Jersey near the Atlantic Ocean which had as its address - #1 Atlantic Ocean. I wonder if it's still there?
