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

The Holly and the Ivy from 1952 with Celia Johnson, Ralph Richardson, Margaret Leighton, Maureen Delaney, Margaret Halstan and Denholm Elliott All Christmas movies, including classics like The Bishop's Wife and Shop Around the Corner have conflict.

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

("Whaaaat's this, then?" gapes Ma, as Uncle Frank thumps a large newspaper-wrapped bundle tied with greasy twine on her kitchen table.

Something for the Birds from 1952 with Patricia Neal, Edmund Gwenn and Victor Mature Lighthearted romcoms require just the right touch. If they are too sentimental, they can easily become a treacly mess, but if they take on too hard an edge, they can lose their charm and geniality. Something...- Fading Fast

You might have seen my recent comments on "Experiment in Terror," which is mainly crime drama not noir, but it might fit the bill for you. Also, have you ever seen the movie "Wall of Noise" (comments here: #29,098 ) as it might scratch your thoroughbred itch. Finally, if you want to...- Fading Fast

I'd have to go back and check, but I think H&H or one of the Chinese restaurants have won every year. H&H's "mass production" model does give it a pricing advantage. The "Grin and Bear It' husband got in a good shot today.- Fading Fast
