Back in the 1950s and '60s, J. M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan' — starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard — was regularly aired on network television during the Christmas season. I must have seen it four or five times and remember, in particular, Ritchard's gloriously camp interpretation of Captain Hook.

Boyhood is the longest time in life for a boy...If there be anything that can be called genius...Every great advance in science has issued...When a man's best friend is his dog...When you're not able to play ball anymore...Age considers; youth ventures...
