    Lazy River from 1934 with Robert Young, Jean Parker, Maude Eburne, Nat Pendleton, C. Henry Gordon and Ted Healy Hallmark movies rightfully get made fun of today as the vast majority of them have embarrassingly simple and obvious plots, tiny budgets, awkward dialogue and poor production...

    Please Don't Eat the Daisies from 1960 with Doris Day, David Niven, Janis Paige, Spring Byington, Richard Haydn and Jack Weston Hollywood made many lighthearted battle-of-the-sexes romcoms around this time, but even these movies needed some real bite to fully work. And if the romcom couple...

    I've always felt that there was a hint that Alice like Sally, well, a whole lot. Not sure Alice even fully understands it. She did spend a few years "up state." I guess neither Joan or Brian wanted to be the one "caught with a correspondent" so they settle on dust - really, dust? Re "The...

    Singapore Woman from 1941 with Brenda Marshall, David Bruce, Jerome Cowan and Virginia Field Singapore Woman is a 1941 B movie remake of the 1935 A picture Dangerous. Despite the B version's shorter runtime, smaller budget and mainly tier-two cast, it maintains much of the A picture's punch...

    I think I've lost the thread in "Harold Teen" along the way: why can't Shadow run either the soda-fountain shop or the youth center? Or get a job in a war factory? I get that his height keeps him out of service, but why can't he do anything?

    The Story of Temple Drake from 1933 with Mariam Hopkins, William Gargan, Jack La Rue and Florence Eldridge The Story of Temple Drake, based on the William Faulkner novel Sanctuary, was scandalous in its day.
