In Harm's Way TP

I posted this back before the double posting of all the wonderful pictures. Wondered if it just get buried or if no one knows? So, I posting it again, as I am very curious......maybe a critic or something started it. Can't imagine that his fans would. So, here it is again:
Oh, while on the subject of the name Duke, can anyone tell me how this "THE DUKE" got started? When he was a boy, as most of you know, he had an Airedale dog named Duke. The fire station men that they used to visit on their "rounds" begin calling young Michael, "Little Duke". Gradually everyone called him that. After his dog died and "Little Duke" began to get his growth, the "Little" was dropped, and he was called simply Duke. That was his name forever after. In fact, when filming, he got a bit upset if cast or crew called him John instead of Duke because John was never even close to his name.....(got very upset with Kirk Douglas in War Wagon because of it). Now, if he was your friend and you greeted him on set, would you say, "Morning, The Duke"? I certainly wouldn't, LOL.
So, if any of you know why folks began calling him that, please let me know. It isn't THAT important...just one of those little things that bother you, if you understand what I mean. Every time I see someone say, THE DUKE, I just want to know why? I want to tell them...his name was DUKE. Perhaps the queen not only Knights people, but also "DUKES" them and she did so to Duke and I never heard about it, Thanks in advance if anyone knows how this got started. Keith

Felt nostalgic and threw on "The List of Adrian Messenger". What a hell of a great film. For those who are unfamiliar with it, Kirk Douglas, George C. Scott, Dana Winter and several surprise guest stars highlight a witty, scary and erudite murder mystery which is scored brilliantly by Jerry Goldsmith.
Not a big fan of director John Huston, but this is one of his best.
Watch and enjoy.
