In 1934, Columbia Pictures put a short film out titled “Three Little Pigskins.” The film, which was 20 minutes long, was one of the 190 films that Columbia Pictures backed starring The Three Stooges. “The Little Pigskins” was shot in Boulder City.

Regardless of how old I am, the little kid in me always seems to rise to the top when there’s a parade.
“Meet the People” is a 1944 movie with ties to Boulder City. Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the movie stars actors Dick Powell and Lucille Ball. The plot is clever, and this movie is personally one of my favorites from its era.
