"A Haunted House" - C+ - Only watch this movie on the big screen if you HAVE to HAVE a Comedy. Mostly tired urban jokes. Much as I like the Wayans they NEVER equalled their effort on "Scary Movie" which is in my top 20 of funny movies. This one only harkens to that one in moments. A definate rental and kids will get more out of it with the numerous inside jokes to FPS and alike.

Our Modern Maidens. Charming programmer with stunning Art Deco sets and a wonderful cast. With Anita Page, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Joan Crawford in the first flush of her beauty and Rod LaRocque, and a fine score by Arthur Lange, what's not to like?

The Browning Version (1951) with Michael Redgrave, Jean Kent, and Nigel Patrick, dir. Anthony Asquith. Kent plays the horrible reprehensible philandering wife of school teacher of Latin Redgrave, Patrick plays the other guilty party. Great acting, flawless delivery, and just enough camera movement to keep it from seeming like a filmed play. Part of the Criterion collection.

I'm right at the start of "Our Dancing Daughters" and I have similar thoughts so far. I tell you Crawford in the late 1920s and early 1930s was rather delectable in her roles...

I LOVE that movie so much! The softer, flirtier, less wordly Joan Crawford was a sight to behold. A couple of years ago I was fortunate to stumble across an original publicity photo of the cast and it had Joan's signature on the back. The person who had it just didn't find the lure of old Hollywood movies appealing, so it's happy in its new home where old Hollywood movies rule supreme.

For all its Hollywood-nish, I really like that film.

GI to Bogart: "Where are you from, sergeant?"
Bogart: "Nowhere, just the Army..."

Me to. I like the deadpan way Bogart delivered those type of lines. A couple of others that come to mind are "I'm a drunkard" when asked his nationality by Major Strasser in Casablanca, or when describing Captain Renault to Annina he quipped "He's just like any other man, only more so", also in Casablanca.
