Mrs. Miniver from 1942 with Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Teresa Wright, Richard Ney, May Whitty and Henry Travers Subtle is good, but sometimes obvious works. In Mrs. Miniver, director William Wyler delivers one of the great WWII propaganda films with little subtlety. The characters and...- Fading Fast

I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes from 1948 with Elyse Knox, Regis Toomey and Don Castle I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes is a better-than-average B noir based on a story by prolific noir writer Cornell Woolrich. While its story isn't unique and the plot flaws tumble out along the way, the picture...- Fading Fast

Thank you for posting the pictures. That's a beautiful suit. One small suggestion, since you paid for made-to-measure, is that it looks like the sleeve is not set properly in the armhole, which is why you're getting so many ripples with your arm only slightly turned. Also, I'd have them check...- Fading Fast

You're not wrong; it's maybe one step above that. I've never read him before, but I thought (perhaps for no reason) he wrote at a more complex level. I thought of you when I was looking at our Christmas book shelves and saw our copy of "Merry Christmas, Mr. Baxter." I'm due for reread. I'm...- Fading Fast

The Era -- Day By Day
That's a fantastic observation. It's chilling. It also explains why that generation often thought its kids and grandkids were whinny and spoiled. Fair or not, and I grew up in 1970s raised by that generation as my dad was 40 when I was born , they thought their kids and grandkids "had it too...- Fading Fast

The Christmas Train by David Baldacci There are only a few Christmas stories that achieve iconic status like A Christmas Carol, the rest are happy to just wrap a heartwarming tale inside Noel ambience. Today, most of these stories are less about the birth of Christ and more about a general...- Fading Fast

Not as a Stranger from 1955 with Robert Mitchum, Olivia de Havilland, Frank Sinatra, Broderick Crawford and Charles Bickford Hollywood has been making melodramatic doctor movies for as long as it's been making talking pictures (see 1931's Arrowsmith for a good early example). Not as a...- Fading Fast

Great comments. I enjoyed this one pretty much for the reasons you noted. The cast is pretty impressive and it's a good medical drama story. You reminded me that I had written this movie up and never posted my comment (maybe I'll do that later).- Fading Fast

Attorney for the Defense from 1932 with Edmund Lowe, Evelyn Brent and Constance Cummings Movies can get a lot of things wrong as long as they make you care about the characters. Attorney for the Defense has a standard 1930s' wash-rinse-repeat legal-melodrama story, clunky production and choppy...- Fading Fast
