Never thought you'd see Ida Lupino dancing around in a nightie, did you?
I watched several lesser-known films this month, and was pleasantly surprised by some of them. I recorded several Melvyn Douglas films that were shown on TCM on his birthday (still haven't watched And So They Were Married which I am very excited to see. Sometimes I save those for a while). Two of the films I recorded had a different title in the credits than what was listed on the guide (why do they do that?). I only had a few re-watches this month, mostly more recent films (ones with an *).

- Gabriel Over the White House (1933) - Walter Huston, Franchot Tone, Karen Morley
- Dangerous Corner (1935) - Melvyn Douglas, Virginia Bruce, Conrad Nagel

- Juarez (1939) - Paul Muni, Bette Davis, John Garfield, Brian Aherne
- Turnabout (1940) - Carole Landis, Adolphe Menjou, Mary Astor
- Tales of Manhattan (1942) - Charles Boyer & Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers & Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton, Edward G. Robinson, Rochester

Least Favorite: The Venetian Affair was pretty boring, especially at the beginning, but I finished it for Ed Asner. Christopher Strong was predictable and Juarez was long but I had to watch for John Garfield (hardly in it) and Bette Davis. I also found Easy to Wed tough to get through. Nobody can replace William Powell, Myrna Loy, and Jean Harlow!!
I really enjoyed Pillow to Post and thought The Voice of the Turtle was sweet. The Man from UNCLE is one of my recent favorites!
ReplyDeleteLoved Eve Arden in "The Voice..." I've watched The Man From UNCLE so many times already :) They are supposedly writing a sequel right now! I hope it's true!!
