Not defending the white-dinner-jacket-wearing Coward, but will note, his (Coward wrote, co-directed, and stared-in) "In Which We Serve" is a heck of a propaganda movie. One of my favorites of WWII and there are plenty to choose from...- Fading Fast

We did like that one, very much. I'm a Simmons and Wise fan, too. So put the two together and I'm three-quarters of the way to liking the movie before I've even seen it.- Fading Fast

This Could Be the Night from 1957 with Jean Simmons, Paul Douglas, Anthony Franciosa, Julie Wilson, Joan Blondell, and Neile Adams This Could Be the Night is a pleasant, lighthearted, slow-burn romcom between two true opposites set in a lively Runyonesque New York City nightclub populated...- Fading Fast

Bink and Inky, that's quite the crew Ma has in her store this morning. I love how much Inky ties to dress up his language, but if you've ever known someone like that in your real life, you'll consider suicide just to get out of the conversation. Now, where is Frank? I don't think Sally is...- Fading Fast

Agreed, all are good movies. "Four's a Crowd" has one of the best model train scenes of all the old movies (which had a good number of them):- Fading Fast

A Handful of Dust from 1988 with Kristin Scott Thomas, James Wilby, Rupert Graves, Alec Guinness and Judi Dench This visually appealing adaptation of the Evelyn Waugh novel A Handful of Dust is like an episode of Downton Abbey without the slickness. This more-sedate approach is fine, but...- Fading Fast

What Are You Reading
A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh, first published in 1934 Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust doesn't fit squarely into one genre as this short book has elements of comedy, satire, soap opera and farce – so it's basically life. It’s also Waugh’s way of saying that England’s gentry in the pre-war...- Fading Fast

Holiday from 1930 with Ann Harding, Mary Astor, Robert Ames , William Holden, and Hallam Cooley This 1930 version of Holiday, being so early in the "talkie" era of Hollywood, is stagey and technologically inchoate compared to the better-known 1938 version. Yet, on its own and even in...- Fading Fast

DIdn't they make a movie of this in 1931 with RIchard Barthelmess and Kay Francis? I can't think of the movie you're referring to, but it would certainly fit the precode style of movies from that era. There's also a pretty good foreshadowing of this in Evelyn Waugh's 1934 novel "A Handful of...- Fading Fast
