From opposite ends of the spectrum, A Face in the Crowd (1957) with the Andy Griffith you never knew, Patricia Neal, and Anthony Franciosa, directed by Elia Kazan and story and screenplay by Budd Schulberg; followed by Rebecca (1940) with Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, and a ton of ex-pat...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Big Steal (1949) with Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and William Bendix. Despite its use of "Big" in the title, which makes us think of Big Heat, Big Sleep, Big Combo, et al, it's actually a chase picture mixed with a sort of screwball comedy (sort of), then mixed with a crime/mystery puzzler...- Julian Shellhammer

On a whim, The Circle. Was not engaged with plot or characters. Not bad, just not good. FL'ers with better insight could perhaps explain what was going on.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
About a week and a half ago, Merrily We Live (1938), which looks like an unacknowledged remake of My Man Godfrey. Good screwball comedy, with phenomenally rich people acting all goofy like, and a nice dose of romance. Then, due to enforced downtime as a result of minor (very minor) hand...- Julian Shellhammer

Finished The Complete Novels of Dashiell Hammett recently. Some notable quotes - "The outcome of successful planning always looks like luck to saps." "...he always got a lot of fun out of acting like the other half of a half-wit." "The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter."- Julian Shellhammer

Another episode of Mr. and Mrs. Murder, off of Acorn TV. There was only one season of the Australian series, so we are trying to eke it out as long as we can.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I'll Get You (1952) with George Raft in a made-in-England sort of mystery story. It's billed as a noir by the VCI company who put it out on dvd. Nuclear experts are disappearing around the world, and Raft is tracking them down with the help of an English intelligence organization. It's not...- Julian Shellhammer

We saw it, too, and liked it for what it is, a sidebar to the main Star Wars story. Ron Howard did a fine job of direction. And I know this is just plain wrong, but the Woody Harrelson character reminded me of Michael Rooker's character in Guardians of the Galaxy, minus the blue skin.- Julian Shellhammer

What Did You Drink Last Night?
Well, not last night, but the other night the Missus had a Nevada cocktail, and I a Boston Side Car. A Nevada cocktail, you say? Our variation is rum, white rum, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Lime juice is the regular ingredient, but the Missus prefers the lemon.- Julian Shellhammer

Off TCM, Eleven Men and a Girl (1930), being a college football team and the the college president's daughter, played by Joan Bennett. Perhaps more widely known as Maybe It's Love, a hit song featured several times in the movie. The clever hook is that the mythical college's team is played by...- Julian Shellhammer
