Log of President Truman's Eighth Visit to Key West, Florida, 12 March-10 April 1950.

Summary: One of the ways that President Truman and his fellow vacationers entertained themselves in the evenings included watching movies. Since the VCR did not exist then, and since Truman was the President, they were able to watch relatively new movies from the privacy of the Little White House. They were provided with a variety of movies-mysteries such as The Third Man, comedies such as Love Happy with the Marx Brothers, dramas such as Twelve O’Clock High, and even animated features like Cinderella. While Truman did not often watch the movies, on this particular trip he watched Cheaper by the Dozen, a comedy with Myrna Loy, and Champagne for Caesar, a comedy based on the popular TV quiz shows.
