Movies I Watched in February

Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938)

This month I watched my first Anna May Wong film, my second Astaire/Rogers film (I liked this one MUCH better than Top Hat) and saw Wuthering Heights (1939) for the first time. I was excited that several Jean Simmons films were aired on TCM for her birthday.

Least Favorite Movies: Cry 'Havoc' and Confidential Agent were dark and depressing (and Lauren Bacall's acting was terrible in the latter).

Favorite Movies: Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife was a delight from start to finish, Battleground was breathtaking in it's cinematography and emotional in it's portrayal of average men preforming above average duties, Roughly Speaking was touching and made me fall in love with Jack Carson, Home Before Dark was a psychological masterpiece I couldn't stop watching, and Mystery Street was fascinating in it's portrayal of what police procedure and forensics looked like at the start of the 50s.
