365 Movies: Kitty Review

Kitty stars Paulette Goddard, Ray Milland, Patric Knowles, Reginald Owen, and Cecil Kellaway in this 1945 Mitchell Leisen film. The film is about a poor girl named Kitty(Goddard), who attracts the attention of a painter. Feeling inspired by her, he begins to paint a portrait of her, when two of his companions interrupt him. The two men fall immediately under her spell, not knowing at all, she's just a poor nobody. Wanting to find out more about her, Sir Hugh Marcy(Milland) decides to wait for her outside, where after a three hour wait, discovers that she's a girl from the slumps. At first, he's annoyed but picks upon it, to transform for, into a lady. This is very much like "My Fair Lady", but this is so much better. The storyline, the acting, the costumes..... everything about this film was perfect! Paulette was saucy and charming and it was thrilling to see her, as the star of the film. Ray was magnetic and very charismatic. With a small role, I still adored seeing Patric. It's a sweet, fun, and romantic film, that'll keep you wanting more, even after the film is done.

365 Movies: The Secret of My Success Review

The Secret of My Success stars James Booth, Lionel Jeffries, Shirley Jones, Honor Blackman, and Stella Stevens in this 1965 film. The film is about Arthur Tate(Booth), a bumbling idiot, who falls madly for every suspect he meets. Stupidly, without looking further into the cases, Arthur lets the madcap women go and then when everything is done and finished, he realizes they may have been guilty after all. The Secret of My Success is very much like a spoof and there are quite a few laughs, but overall I felt it was dry. I didn't find James Booth to be anything remarkable, but then again, the film wasn't anything special either. The three leading ladies are utterly charming and wonderful to watch. Lionel Jeffries did wonderful as the multiple characters in the film, from Inspector Hobart to President Esteda, he was fun to watch.

365 Movies: The Uninvited Review

The Uninvited stars Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, Gail Russell, and Donald Crisp in this 1944 thriller. The film is about a brother and sister, who buy a house that turns out to be haunted. Upon the discovery of their haunted home, they meet several people warning them to leave at once, but two refuse to. Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey play Roderick and Pamela Fitzgerald, the brother and sister, who try to investigate the mysteries of the house, without getting hurt in the process. Donald Crisp, plays Commander Beech, the man who sells the house to them, but fears for his granddaughter's safety and her attraction to the house. It's a bewitching and thrilling film, from beginning to end. Though, it didn't scare me, it certainly was spooky.

365 Movies: A Ticklish Affair Review

A Ticklish Affair stars Shirley Jones, Gig Young, Red Buttons, and Carolyn Jones in this 1963 film. The film is about widow, Amy Martin(S.Jones) who meets Commander Weedon(Young), after an S.O.S. signal comes from her house. The signal comes from her three sons. The two immediately connect and when they become so close, that marriage is mentioned, they part. I felt that romance between Jones and Young was far too rushed and there was absolutely no chemistry between the two. Shirley was dashing to watch but seeing as I'm not a big fan of Gig, I didn't find him to be to interesting to watch. This was my first movie, watching Red and I quite liked him. He and Carolyn were adorable! I felt that the comedy and storyline in this film was rather weak and far-fetched.

Review for Tomorrow: The Uninvited

365 Movies: Pygmalion Review

Pygmalion stars Leslie Howard, Wendy Hiller, and Scott Sunderland in this 1938 film. The film is about Professor Henry Higgins(Howard) who believes he can transform the common flower girl into a beautiful and sophisticated lady. He picks upon Eliza Doolittle(Hiller), a poor flower girl, who at first is quite stubborn about changing, but grows accustomed to her new self. I much more liked this version, rather than the 1964 version with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. The '64 version was way too long and too much was put into it, unlike this version. It's a fairly quick film, but not at all, too fast paced to understand what is going on. Leslie and Wendy make an unbelievably marvelous couple and the chemistry between the two is smashing! The more, I see of Leslie, the more I like him. For the longest time, I haven't been too big on him but I think, as I get older, I appreciate him more as an actor.

365 Movies: The Palm Beach Story Review

The Palm Beach Story stars Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Rudy Vallee, and Mary Astor in this 1942, Preston Sturges' film. The film is about couple, Gerry(Colbert) and Tom(McCrea), who are on the brink of divorce, when the wife decides a divorce is needed. The couple have been living poorly financially, and Gerry believes that if she were to divorce Tom, that things would be easier for the both of them. Instead of going to Reno to divorce, Gerry instead goes to Palm Beach and meets two very wacky siblings, that makes her change her mind pretty quickly. It's a sophisticated but fun film to watch. Claudette and Joel play off each other so well and Mary and Rudy are great as the rich siblings. There really is no down side to this film. Though, it isn't my favorite Preston Sturges', its still a marvelous film.

365 Movies: Gigi Review

Gigi stars Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold, and Maurice Chevalier in this 1958 Vincent Minnelli musical. The film is about a young girl named Gigi(Caron) who learns to grow up, pretty quickly from her loving Grandmother(Gingold) and her Aunt(Isabel Jeans). In the process of her growing up, she falls for family friend, Gaston Lachaille(Jourdan) but at first, he's too stubborn to see, that she's grow up and is now a woman. It's a wonderfully gay musical, that I absolutely adore. It's a smashing good film to watch and the chemistry between Jourdan and Caron sparkles.

365 Movies: Between Two Worlds Review

Between Two Worlds stars Paul Henried, Eleanor Parker, and John Garfield in this 1944 film. The film is about a group of people, who are set to leave to go to New York but are instantly killed, when a bomb hits the car, they are in. A married couple, not too far away, end their lives, after feeling they weren't getting anywhere. The group of people and the married couple meet on a ship, where they discover they are all dead. Henry and Ann Bergner(Henreid and Parker) know full well they are dead, but having to keep it secret from the rest of the people, is difficult. Tom Prior(Garfield), a cynical ex-foreign correspondent, figures out pretty quickly, what has happened. The storyline for this movie is so utterly fascinating! The cast is perfection and this film really gives you, an honest re-examination of your actions. It's a fine film and I'm really beginning to appreciate John Garfield, after being so negative about him, for so long. He did an excellent job in this film. I found that Paul and Eleanor were angelic and sweet to watch, especially after all that occurs, they still want to remain with one another. My favorite characters would have to be Mrs.Midget(Sara Allgood), Benjamin Cliveden-Banks(Gilbert Emery), Scrubby(Edmund Gwenn), and of course Reverend Tim Thompson(Sydney Greenstreet). It's a definite eye-opening film but greatly interesting to watch!

365 Movies: The Ghost Breakers Review

The Ghost Breakers stars Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard, Willie Best, Paul Lukas, Richard Carlson, and Anthony Quinn in this 1940 film. The film is about radio broadcaster, Larry Lawrence(Hope), who accidentally gets involved with a young woman(Goddard) and murder! While trying to get ready to leave to go to Cuba, Mary Carter(Goddard) gets several warnings about going, from phone calls to notes, but she doesn't listen. While setting herself up to leave, she meets Larry, who believes he killed a man outside of her room. The two bond pretty quickly and with them, they bring Larry's trusted confidante, Alex(Best) to Cuba. It's a fun and suspenseful film to watch and I greatly enjoyed seeing Paulette and Bob in a movie together. They were splendid! I find that Paulette is so utterly charming and a tad snappish, but I adore her. Willie Best plays his usual role but it's fun to see him as the quivering sidekick.

365 Movies: Our Hospitality Review

Our Hospitality stars Buster Keaton and Natalie Talmadge in this 1923 silent comedy. The film is about the ever- going feud between the McKay's and the Canfield's, and more friction is caused, when Willie McKay(Keaton) falls for the Canfield's Daughter(Talmadge). It's quite funny but most of the time, I found myself clenching my hands together, because the scenes are so intense. Buster Keaton was such an inventive comedian and such a daredevil. He really risked his life for his films and it is so impressive to watch. I thought it was fun to see, Buster's Father, wife(at the time), and his infant son in the film as well.

365 Movies: Duck Soup Review

Duck Soup stars The Marx Brothers, Margaret Dumont, Louis Calhern, and Raquel Torres in this 1933 comedy, directed by Leo McCarey. The film is about Rufus T. Firefly(Groucho), who is appointed leader of Freedonia, a very poor country. With him, is his trusty sidekick and secretary Lt. Bob Roland(Zeppo). Opposing his ideas are Ambassador Trentino of Sylvania(Calhern), who employs two men to spy on Firefly. One problem though, the two men go back and forth on the sides. Pinky(Harpo) and Chicolini(Chico) are irritating their leader, while playing both sides. It was hard to pick, which Marx Brothers' was my favorite but I've finally narrowed it down. Duck Soup is my favorite! I was laughing from the beginning of the movie to the very end. It was such a perfectly funny movie. I had seen this movie, once before but I absolutely detested it, when I saw it. I'm glad though, that I have this kind of 'policy', that if I didn't like it the first time, to give a second go, and see what the result is then. Most of the time, when I watch a movie, that I originally didn't like and then I watch again, I see just how great the movie is, with a second watching. This movie is absolutely thrilling and very possibly one of the funniest movies, I've ever seen in my life.

365 Movies: Horse Feathers Review

Horse Feathers stars The Marx Brothers in this 1932 film. The film is about the brothers causing trouble at a college. Zeppo is Frank Wagstaff, a student at the college, and his Father is Groucho, who is now the president of the college. Chico and Harpo are along for the ride as the zany sidekicks. Thelma Todd, once again appears in the movie with the brothers. It's delightfully fun, but not nearly as funny as the other Marx Brothers' films, that I've seen. I would still recommend to those who want to see Marx Brothers' movies, to watch this one. It was great fun to watch and had so many moments, that had me laughing out loud.

Eddie, We Miss You

Yesterday, marked the 50th anniversary of Eddie Cochran's death. He was just 21 years old, when he was instantly killed. The more, I listen to his music, the more I appreciate his style and music. You never hear much about Eddie's music or his legacy, because at the time, he was famous, another singer(Presley) was knocking out songs, left and right. While America, didn't quite appreciate the talents of Cochran, England did and still has. If you get the chance, please read this excellent article about the 50th Anniversary of Cochran's death. I really wish I could have been there, to celebrate his life with other devoted fans of his.

365 Movies: Monkey Business Review

Monkey Business stars The Marx Brothers and Thelma Todd in this 1931 comedy. Sneakingly, the four Marx Brothers get onto a ship, that is carrying a gangster and a racketeer. The brothers somehow get themselves involved in the drama, but don't think for a second, it's not at all hilarious the whole entire time. Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo deliver the funniest and best jokes and I was cracking up so many times. I nearly had tears coming down my face, they were so fantastically marvelous together. Each time, I see another Marx Brothers' movie, it becomes difficult for me, to pick which movie I love the most. This is another fine film, with so many hilarious moments. I seriously can't wait, to buy some Marx Brothers' movies, because I'll be watching them on repeat.

365 Movies: Gidget Goes Hawaiian Review

Gidget Goes Hawaiian stars James Darren, Michael Callan, Deborah Walley, and Carl Reiner in this 1961 film. After being surprised about her boyfriend's reaction about leaving to go to Hawaii, 'Gidget' Frances Lawrence(Walley) decides to dump her boyfriend and go off on her vacation. The only thing is, Gidget still loves Jeff 'Moondoggie' Matthews(Darren) and her heart isn't necessarily on the vacation until Abby Stewart(Vicki Trickett) another girl helps her, relax and have a good time. While on vacation, she meets a group of boys, who are all charmed by her ways. This was the first Gidget movie I watched and I absolutely loved it. It's a guilty pleasure film for me and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Hahahaha! I first saw this movie, when I was 15 years old and I'm going to be 21 in August, so I've been sticking with this movie for quite a while. When I was 15, I thought James Darren and Michael Callan were so adorable and I still think so.

So what is your guilty pleasure movie and are you the type that isn't afraid to admit, what the movie is?

365 Movies: Chance at Heaven Review

Chance at Heaven stars Ginger Rogers, Joel McCrea, and Marian Nixon in this 1933 film. The film is about gas attendant Blacky Gorman(McCrea) who is engaged to be married to his sweetheart, Marje Harris(Rogers) but instead finds himself very attracted to wealthy débutante Glory Franklyn(Nixon). Breaking her engagement off from her beau, Marje builds up a friendship between Glory and her ex. When things begin to crumble apart for the couple, Blacky finds out that, Marje will always be there for him. It's a mediocre little known film and the cast is great. Glory's Mother is positively annoying and quite often, Glory tries to not be like her Mother but in the end, she's just like her.

365 Movies: The Parent Trap Review

The Parent Trap stars Hayley Mills, Maureen O' Hara, and Brian Keith in this 1961 Disney classic. The film is about two girls, who are away at camp, only to find out they are sisters. The two sisters devise a plan for both of them to meet the other parent and potentially get their parents back together. Hayley Mills stars as Susan and Sharon and she does an absolutely marvelous job at it. You totally believe they are two different people but with the magic of the camera, it's actually just Hayley. Maureen was snappy and stylish but totally lovable in this film. Brian Keith was splendid as the girl's Father. My favorite characters though, were played by Una Merkel(she was the maid) and Charlie Ruggles, who played the Grandfather. This is a fun film for the entire family to watch and personally I would recommend watching this version, over the re-make.

365 Movies: Finishing School Review

Finishing School stars Frances Dee, Bruce Cabot, Ginger Rogers, and Billie Burke in this 1934 film. The film is about Virginia Radcliff(Dee), a young and naive girl, who is sent to private school. With the school, she meets Pony Ferris(Rogers) a fire cracker of a girl, who helps Virginia get out of her shell a little. While out on a trip with Pony, she accidentally meets Ralph MacFarland(Cabot) after being pushed around by a drunk, Mac comes to help her out. Pretty quickly, the two become close friends. Virginia feels like she can be comfortable in her own skin with Mac around and he feels just the same with her. The film is all around a so-so film. The performances are alright, the storyline is alright. Everything about this movie is just okay, nothing absolutely thrilling but not at all, dragging. I thought Dee and Rogers were wonderful as friends. They appeared to really watch one another's back and that was sweet to watch.

365 Movies: Desirable Review

Desirable stars George Brent, Jean Muir, and Verree Teasdale in this 1934 Archie Mayo film. The film is about inexperienced and naive 19 year old Lois Johnson(Muir) who returns home after being hidden away in a school. Upon her return, she meets her Mother's lover Stuart McAllister(Brent) and they quickly become friends. Lois' Mother is a stage actress and upon hearing about her daughter and her lover, she tries to sabotage the poor girl and the potential relationship between the two. It's a nice little simple film and Brent and Muir play off one another very well. The two are sweet and lovely as the couple. Verree Teasdale as the Mother can come off as quite obnoxious but she acts well.

365 Movies: Saturday's Children Review

Saturday's Children stars Anne Shirley, John Garfield, Claude Rains, and Lee Patrick in this 1940 Vincent Sherman film. The film is about 22 year old Bobby(Shirley) who meets and falls in love with fellow employee, Rims Rosson(Garfield). Things start off great but when the two get married, they find out just how difficult it is, to stay happy, with so little in their pockets. Anne and John sparkled as the newbie couple and it honestly seemed, like they genuinely liked working with one another. I loved Claude Rains' performance as the overly protective father to Bobby. He was so sweet and kind. The role of Rims was very different for me to see for John Garfield to play. Though, this character had a small streak of rebelliousness in him, he wasn't at all, like John's usual characters. I was pleasantly surprised by that. The beginning and middle of the film is nice but at the end, it just falters. It's one of those movies, where about 50% of it is good and the rest is ehh.

- Sorry, I didn't post this last night but I completely lost my internet connection. I tried several times to get it back but failed each and every time.

365 Movies: Sherlock Jr. Review

Sherlock Jr. stars Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton, Erwin Connelly, and Ward Crane in this 1924 comedy. The film is about a projectionist(B.Keaton) who had two things on his mind. One being, his girl(McGuire) and the other being detective work. While trying to charm his lady friend, the projectionist is accused of stealing the girl's father's watch. Every time, I see a Buster Keaton movie, I love him more. He is so hysterically funny and he was a genius at what he did. This movie had so many funny moments, and it's really hard to pick just one part that I found to be the funniest. I'm really excited to be watching more silent comedies, because they are a hidden gem, that I haven't really divulge in yet. This is really a fun movie to watch and I hope that if you decide to watch it, you have as much fun as I did.

365 Movies: You Only Live Once Review

You Only Live Once stars Sylvia Sidney, Henry Fonda, Jean Dixon, William Gargan, and Chic Sale in this Fritz Lang 1937 film. The film is about Eddie Taylor(Fonda), a man who is falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit because of his bad record. His wife Joan(Sidney) tries to help him through the trial but when he is found guilty and is sentenced to the electric chair, the fragile woman finds it difficult to handle. This is really a phenomenal film and the cast is utterly amazing. I thought that both Sidney and Fonda were superb and the honesty and realism that came from the two of them was refreshing to watch. This was a film with real emotions and heart to it. It had a compelling story, along with the excellent actors. Someone who I'm not too familiar with, was William Gargan(who played Father Dolan) but I absolutely loved his performance. It was a very moving film and I greatly enjoyed watching it.

365 Movies: Dogma Review

Okay, so this I didn't choose to pick this movie to watch. I was at my Sister-in-law's and this is what she put on. This is definitely not a movie, I like and watching it, I didn't like it. I'm not an overly religious person but many of the "jokes" in this movie were over the line and not at all funny. If I could have picked another movie to watch, I would have. I also do not feel comfortable, watching a movie that exploits sexuality and religion in such a vulgar manner, and I wish to not watch this film again. To those people out there, who liked this film, I'm sorry but this is just my opinion. I'm not someone, who feels comfortable watching a film like this and it was a mistake to watch it. So I really don't feel comfortable, writing a full- on review about it because of my views, so I'm just going to keep it at this. Tomorrow, I'll get this filthy little movie out of my head and back to my regular viewings. Night everyone!

365 Movies: The Red Danube Review

The Red Danube stars Walter Pidgeon, Ethel Barrymore, Peter Lawford, Angela Lansbury, and Janet Leigh in this 1949 film. The film is about British Colonel Nicobar(Pidgeon) who is assigned to bring refugees back to the Soviet Union, but a complication arises. Major John McPhimister(Lawford) falls for Maria Buhlen(Leigh) who is a refugee, who escaped from her country and hid her true identity. At first, Nicobar feels its his duty to return her back, but he soon realizes the damage he's doing to the young couple, and stops his actions. Though the film is about a serious subject, there were some light moments, which I greatly appreciated seeing. The entire cast is splendid but the overall film, didn't do much for me. I didn't really feel that there was much chemistry or spark between Lawford and Leigh. And really Lawford, can not pull off a mustache. He's still handsome but the mustache didn't work well for him. Lol. sorry for the total randomness.

365 Movies: Lucky Night Review

Lucky Night stars Myrna Loy and Robert Taylor in this 1939 film. The film is about heiress Cora Jordan(Loy) who is fed up with not meeting the man of her dreams, so she gives up her wealth, in order to find a beau. On her quest to find Mr.Right, Cora meets jobless Bill Overton(Taylor), and the two connect almost immediately. While out and about, the two are so heavily drunk, they end up marrying one another. I felt like this movie, tried too hard to be funny. The dialog was pretty awful and I felt bad that Loy and Taylor were cast in this film. The two are both excellent at comedy but this film was not fit for either of them. I really didn't feel that Loy and Taylor had much chemistry together but they were hysterical to watch, when they were drunk. Henry O' Neill was splendid as Loy's protective Father.

365 Movies: The Broadway Melody Review

The Broadway Melody stars Anita Page, Bessie Love, and Charles King in this 1929 film. The film is about sister act, The Mahoney Sisters who go to New York, hoping for their big break. Elder sister Hank(Love) watches and protects her little sister, Queenie(Page) but when men come between them, it's difficult for the two girls to regain the same happiness they felt before. Hank's steady boyfriend Eddie(King) helps the two girls find a job but he soon falls for Queenie, which complicates matters greatly. The story line is quite simple but I absolutely adore this movie. Page and Love are wonderful as Hank and Queenie and you can sympathize for both of the sisters. While one believes she's being unselfish, the other is breaking apart because of her sister's unhappiness. This is such a lovely film and even with the songs a bit off key, I still adore it!

365 Movies: The Sisters Review

The Sisters stars Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Anita Louise, Dick Foran, Jane Bryan, Beulah Bondi, Donald Crisp, and Henry Travers in this 1938 melodrama, directed by Anatole Litvak. The film is about three sisters, who meet and fall in love with three very different men. Eldest sister Louise(Davis) meets sports writer, Frank Medlin(Flynn) who at first glance, seems like a very charming fellow, until his demons(his alcoholism and not being able to support Louise) get in the way of their happiness. Middle sister, Helen(Louise) marries a man, she does not love, only to feel free from her parents but in the end, what she gets, is too many marriages under her belt. And the youngest and last sister, Grace(Bryan) marries Tom Knivel(Foran), a man who was hopelessly in love with Louise but finds second chances with Grace. The film is far too dramatic for my liking. I would have loved, if there was a little bit of humor in the film, to relax some of the scenes but alas it didn't have them. Henry Travers and Beulah Bondi were wonderful as the parents of the three girls and I think, out of the all characters, they were my favorites. I felt that Bette and Errol were a bit mismatched but they did have some chemistry. I was rather disappointed to find such a small role for Patric Knowles. You hardly even know, he's in the film!

This photo and the story of their untimely deaths breaks my heart, each and every time I hear about it. :( They were some pretty remarkable fellows, who will never be forgotten.

365 Movies: Easter Parade Review

Easter Parade stars Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford, Ann Miller, and Jules Munshin in this 1948 film. The film is about dancing team Hewes(Astaire) and Hale(Miller) who end breaking up, after Hale signs a contract, which leaves Hewes out. Upset with the dismissal, Don Hewes picks up a new girl as his new dancing partner. While drinking his sorrows away, Don meets Hannah Brown(Garland) a rather clumsy young dancer, whom he wants to transform into a brilliant dancer. Rather quickly, Hannah falls for her mentor but his dear and trusted friend, Johnny(Lawford) falls for her, the minute they meet each other. This is such a lovely and sweet film and the entire cast is a dream. While I think Astaire and Garland make a sweet couple, I really believe that Garland and Lawford were so perfect together. The scene, where they are caught in the rain together is so utterly sweet. I adore this musical and each Easter, it's a wonderful treat to watch.

The Navigator stars Buster Keaton and Kathryn McGuire in this 1924 film. The film is about two young rich people who accidentally get trapped on an abandoned ship. This movie is beyond hysterical. I enjoyed this movie so much!! Buster Keaton can be funny with the silliest objects and he makes it look so easy. No one else was quite like him! He was such a great comedian and I cannot wait to see Sherlock Jr! I would definitely recommend everyone to watch this very funny silent movie.

Whoever made this video, is an absolute genius. I typically veer away from tributes like these but this one is so much fun to watch and it highlights, just how brilliant Myrna Loy was. I can watch this tribute over and over again, it's just so wonderful!

365 Movies: Song of the Thin Man Review

Song of the Thin Man stars William Powell, Myrna Loy, Keenan Wynn, and Dean Stockwell in the final installment of The Thin Man Series. While at a nightclub, a murder is committed and Mr. and Mrs. Charles are on the case. While trying to solve the murder of band leader Tommy Drake(Phillip Reed), the couple meet a slew of daffy characters, including musician Buddy Hollis(Don Taylor) and nightclub singer, Fran Page(Gloria Graham). Though this is better than the previous Thin Man movie, it still doesn't have that magic that the first four films had. In this film, it seems Nora has more of the cracks, than Nick, which makes it enjoyable to watch. I love when she's about to hit the hay, and Nick starts getting dressed and slowly but surely, she gets up to accompany him. I didn't quite understand why, Phillip Reed's and Gloria Grahame's names were so high in the credits, when they didn't in the appear in the film much. I would have loved to have seen more Phillip but alas, that was not meant to happen. I've had so much fun watching this series and I greatly enjoyed the company of Nick, Nora, and Asta. A delightful series of films!

365 Movies: The Thin Man Goes Home Review

The Thin Man Goes Home stars William Powell, Myrna Loy, Lucile Watson, Harry Davenport, and Gloria DeHaven in the fifth installment of The Thin Man Series. Even when on vacation, somehow and someway the Charles' get involved in a case. This time, the case involves the town, Nick grew up in. After Peter Berton(Ralph Brooks) is murdered on the Charles' steps, Nick and Nora look into who killed the young man and discover much more inside the case. This film lacked quite a bit in humor. It didn't have the W.S. Van Dyke touch and the characters of Nick and Nora didn't seem themselves. Nora is so enamored with figuring out whodunnit, she looses herself and Nick doesn't have the same witty banter, that made him so charming. It was quite depressing, seeing them so differently. I enjoyed watching Powell and Loy in another film, but this film doesn't do them justice. It almost doesn't feel like it's a Thin Man movie. I also found Gloria DeHaven to be quite annoying in this film, and I'm hoping that her other performances aren't like this.

- I love to read but I find it extremely difficult to pick, just one book as my favorite. So I'll make a short list of my favorite books. They include Salad Days by Douglas Fairbanks Jr, Hollywood Picks the Classics by Afton Fraser, No Bed of Roses by Joan Fontaine, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, and Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. That's just a small sampling of the books I adore but there are a ton more but I would rather not waste too much time, talking about all of the books I love to read. ;)

Happy Birthday to the Millie!

I hope your days goes absolutely swell today Millie and make sure to watch lots of Sandy and Bobby! :)
