  2. I saw "Private Lives". It's an excellent Pre-Code Comedy with Norma Shearer at her radiant best. She is so much more in her element here than in, for instance, "Strange Interlude". Her performance is very good and Bob Montgomery's equally good. What an excellent example of witty comedy and physical comedy too. Reginald Denny and Una Merkel are delightful as their dull newly acquired spouses. Now I'm re-watching the highly entertaining 1935 version of "She" with Randy Scott, Helen Gahagan, Nigel Bruce and Helen Mack.

  3. I saw "High, Wide and Handsome" on the afternoon. Irene Dunne shines in this musical precursor of "Oklahoma!"; she sings and dances divinely and shines all through the movie as the bright heroine who falls in love with an idealist farmer well portrayed by Randolph Scott. Great songs, wonderful production and Elizabeth Patterson is delightful as Grandma. Dorothy Lamour has small time onscreen as a saloon singer. Beautiful Kern-Hammerstein score. Alan Hale plays a despicable villain.

  4. It must be a mistake, because the only film in which Bette and Joan acted together is the 1932 Pre-Code "Three on a Match", unless it was released in some other country under that title, which I don't think so.

     

    BTW, "Just Around The Corner" is the title of a Shirley Temple vehicle, released in 1938.

  5. I agree Matt, "Chronicles of Narnia" really deserved at least one nomination. The story captured me completely, like If were a kid. BTW have you seen "Shadowlands" based upon the relationship of C.S. Lewis and Joy Gresham; what an awesome film! Have not seen "The Great Raid".

  6. I saw "The Chronicles of Narnia" and I loved it. Also watched "Memoirs of a Geisha" and I liked it very much. Saw "I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" for the first time and understood why it is truly an "Essential".

     

    Watched "Strange Interlude" and was disappointed by it. At times the voice-overs got into my nerves; I felt they were exasperating and confusing. Gable is OK in it and handles pretty well his role. Norma has her moments, but sometimes overacts. Nevertheless an interesting film.

  7. This is one of the few films I've seen with high expectations and which lived up to them and I may even say that it exceeded my personal expectations. Gripping, realistic, account of the hardships and injustices lived by James Allen. Splendidly acted by all around, especially by Paul Muni in the starring role. I had never seen Glenda Farrell in such a nasty role! And she rocks! Warner Bros. was really the master Studio of the movies dealing with serious social issues.

     

    A must see!

  8. Hi Ralph,

     

    I haven't only seen Bob's 1937 film version and I think he did an excellent job as the psycho. Bob was an underrated actor IMHO, and he proved he could portray other characters different from the mischievous, devil-may-care playboys he usually played in the early 1930s (characters which enjoy too, except when they get a little bit too annoying, like in some portions of "Forsaking All Others"). I don't think I'd like to see the remake with Finney, because I'm not too keen on films from the 1960s and having in consideration all the movies from the Classic Era (1920-1960) I have yet to see, all piled-up, vhs, dvds galore.... there's no time for other stuff.

     

    Greetings,
