What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
It's been decades since I've read one of "The Saint" books and years since I've seen one of the movies, but "The Saint in New York" was my favorite. The book, in particular, is entertaining and, for us today, fun time travel.- Fading Fast

Alfie from 1966 with Michael Caine, Julie Foster, Jane Asher, Shelly Winters and Vivien Merchant It's not easy to make a movie that is, both, of its time and timeless, but Alfie pulls it off.

The Man in Grey from 1943 with Phyllis Calvert, Margaret Lockwood, James Mason and Stewart Granger The Man in Grey, from a popular novel at the time, is the movie equivalent of a page turner. It's not high art, but more like a fun romance / bodice-ripper novel brought to the screen. A nod...- Fading Fast

I love that book. It is a neat look into the careers of several writers I grew up reading, plus Perkins himself is an interesting man. The movie is good, too, but the book is a gem.- Fading Fast
