Another old comedy this time starring Cary Grant
And an equally fun novel - worth the read, similar to the movie, fun, light and engaging.

The Man Who Never Was. I need to read the book on the mission this movie is based on - Operation Mincement.
The true story is fascinating, but also very funny! Some really unlikely candidates for spy masters in the true story.
I REALLY need to read the book! I wish my to-be-read list wasn't so darn long...
Yeah? Try mine. I am still working on Churchill's six volume WWII history.
I would love to do that, just can't get myself to devote the reading time it will require - but at some point in my life I will. About a year ago, I re-read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" and that took a chunk of time, but still nothing compared to Churchill's history.

My problem is that I get sidetracked so easily...so many good books, so little time! So if one doesn't capture my attention after a few chapters, I either skim through the rest or abandon it and move on.
All the best people have unfinished books piled up around, under, and in their beds.
Been there done that. I have also been known to read a few books at the same time---going from one to the other. When one frustrates me I go to the next and them back to the original one when I calm down....
It's a pretty good picture for what it is -- a straightforward Helen Mirren vehicle. I'm hoping we might get "Adaline" in May or June, but I hope to see it somewhere even if not on our screen.
I never used to do that, but awhile back I tried it and now I'm hooked. I like having the ability to pick which one to read at a given moment versus feeling I have to read just this one because it's the one I'm reading now. What I've been doing is one fiction and one non-fiction at the same time as it seems to help my small brain keep them separate.
I like reading books about the same subject so it seems like a movie in my mind as I shift from one scene to another. I was reading And I Was There along with The Normandy Crucible. So I toggled from the Pacific to the European war theaters. It worked.
