Movies I Watched in March

What's better than one Edward Everett Horton? Two Edward Everett Hortons!! 

Screenshot from Lonely Wives (1931).

This month I rewatched the Connery Bond films. I read two of the Fleming books: On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which was really good and close to the movie, then You Only Live Twice because it came right after it and I wanted to see how Bond reacted to what had happened at the end of OHMSS. It was ok - quite different from the movie. 

I was really happy to see Edward Everett Horton get a day of films on TCM. I enjoyed the two I watched that I had never seen before. He never fails to make me laugh so I was surprised when he made me cry in Roar of the Dragon. 

I was excited that they aired Nice Girl? again finally. I had caught part of it the last time (several years ago!) and had been waiting for them to show it again since! I took 60 screenshots of the house lol. I might do a blog post on it.

Least Favorite Film: A King and Four Queens had the potential to be an amazing and unusual Western. Instead it was just Gable romancing four "widows." Jo Van Fleet was their mother-in-law but in reality she was a few years younger than Gable. I always enjoy Gable and Eleanor Parker is a favorite so it was still a good movie.

Favorite Quote: 

Richard Dix: "You might as well know, we're in a tough spot." (under siege by bandits in China) 

 

Zasu Pitts (wavery): "And I'm all out of aspirin."
