Didn’t get to watch very many movies this month. I went to Long Island for a week for a family event and, before I left, had to get ahead in my work (I work from home verifying patient insurance for a dentist office. I don’t get any vacation time yet but had planned this before I was hired) so I was working like crazy and preparing for my trip.
Anyway, my trip was amazing. I got to go back to Old Westbury Gardens and take a better photo on the steps where Cary Grant walks up in North By Northwest (1959) - I wasn’t happy with the way my photo came out last time so I never ended up sharing it here, I will try to finish that post soon. On the way home we stopped at Gettysburg, where my 4x great grandfather fought (on the Union side). I brought a photograph of him with me and took a picture with it by the memorial to his regiment. We also went to a little museum in the town that had some uniforms of Audie Murphy’s as well as one of Marilyn Monroe’s bras... I also popped into the library to use the restroom and ended up buying a bag of books (including a biography of Mary Wickes) in the book sale room... did I mention the car was already packed very tight? Lol.
Here's what I watched this month (* means a rewatch):
- The Bride Walks Out (1936) - Barbara Stanwyck & Gene Raymond, Robert Young
- Bridal Suite (1939) - Robert Young & Annabella, Billie Burke, Walter Connelly
- The Guilty (1947) - Bonita Granville
- *Tonight’s the Night (1954) - David Niven & Yvonne De Carlo, Barry Fitzgerald
- Secret of the Incas (1954) - Charlton Heston, Robert Young, Thomas Mitchell, Glenda Ferrell
- Drum Beat (1954) - Alan Ladd, Charles Bronson, Audrey Dalton
- *Jailhouse Rock (1958) - Elvis Presley
- Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) - James Mason, Arlene Dahl, Pat Boone, Diane Baker
- Romancing the Stone (1984) - Kathleen Turner & Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito
- Spaceman (2016) - Josh Duhamel
Whoa, Drum Beat (1954) is a Ladd movie I haven't even heard about! What's the premise? As someone who is a little obsessed with that particular instrument, it caught my attention, lol. That's so cool that you got to go to those museums!
