Loungers' Pets
You are spot on. Tug, the dog, was already living there for years when, Aria, the cat (a rescue kitten) came to live. We laugh as Aria, so far, is very dog/pack like.- Fading Fast

Change of Heart from 1934 with Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell, Ginger Rogers and James Dunn What's most striking and most fun about Change of Heart is how its core story could be told today with nothing more than surface changes. College kids, still, with false bravado masking fear of failure...- Fading Fast

Three on a Match from 1932 with Ann Dvorak, Joan Blondell, Bette Davis, Lyle Talbot and Warren William Some people aren't happy being happy. A good marriage, a healthy child and financial security would check many people's happiness boxes. Yet some people become bored when everything is going...- Fading Fast

The Era -- Day By Day
Well-written parting scene, Lizzie, very touching. I love that Miss Kaplan and Mozelewski showed up. "Action in Arabia" is, as Corby said, not dissimilar to Sanders' Falcon movies. It's kind of like a B-movie mashup of the Falcon and "Casablanca." Did anybody have bees on his/her bingo card?- Fading Fast

Mary Stevens M.D. from 1933 with Kay Francis, Lyle Talbot and Glenda Farrell Warner Bros., in its inimitable precode way, lets the melodrama rip as it races through several social issues in Mary Stevens M.D. A female doctor, casual sex, corrupt politicians and padded medical bills are just...- Fading Fast

The Era -- Day By Day
The bombing of the Monte Cassino Monastery noted on page one of the Eagle is depicted in the 1945 movie "The Story of GI Joe." The feelings of the troops in that movie are summed up by this terse line of dialogue from one of the pinned down soldiers, "I'm a Catholic and I say bomb it."- Fading Fast

Woman in Hiding from 1950 with Ida Lupino, Stephen McNally, Howard Duff and Peggy Dow Woman in Hiding is a good, not great work-a-day noir whose biggest selling point, then and now, is its bird-sized force-of-nature lead actress Ida Lupino. She gives this movie's contrived story of greed some...- Fading Fast

My personal favorite comment on people holding superstitions. It is said that a visitor once came to the home of Nobel Prize–winning physicist Niels Bohr and, having noticed a horseshoe hung above the entrance, asked incredulously if the professor believed horseshoes brought good luck. “No,”...- Fading Fast

My Night at Maud's from 1969, a French film My Night at Maud's is an intellectually pretentious New Wave French film, so, a French film, from the 1960s by famed director Eric Rohmer. The quick summary is it's a nearly two hours movie of three characters smoking a lot as they talk endlessly...- Fading Fast

The Late Show from 1977 with Art Carney, Lily Tomlin, Bill Macy and Eugene Roche More homage than send-up of the many 1940s B-noirs movies, The Late Show works mainly because of its unlikely but surprisingly enjoyable pairing of Art Carney and Lily Tomlin. Sometimes you write sentences in life...- Fading Fast

Life for Ruth (also known as Walk in the Shadow) from 1962 with Michael Craig, Janet Munro, Patrick McGoohan, Paul Rodgers and Leslie Sands Life for Ruth has the maturity and confidence to admit that there are (at least) two legitimate sides to complex political/legal/social issues.

Arrowsmith from 1931 with Ronald Coleman, Helen Hayes, Clarence Brooks and Myrna Loy Arrowsmith is based on a big book by Sinclair Lewis.

The Divorcee from 1930 with Norma Shearer, Chester Morris, Conrad Nagel, Judith Wood and Robert Montgomery To call The Divorcee a good "precode" doesn't do this smartly layered picture justice. It's pre-code in its subject matter, but traditional in its values, in a very believable way. Plus...- Fading Fast
