Last I saw at the Cinema The Great Gatsby. I must have been unique in the Cinema. sad to say I didn't actually know the story of TGG before I saw it. Last Film watched was The Spy Who Came Out Of The Cold with Richard Burton. Superb, I love spy stories.

Dial 1119 (1950, MGM), with Marshall Thompson, Virginia Field, Andrea King, Sam Levene, Leon Ames, and William Conrad (as "Chuckles"). Story about an emotionally-void, convicted murderer who escapes from his mental hospital, kills again, and then takes a small group of people hostage in a bar. Thompson's character blames the Army for making him a killer, but his motivation is actually something else indeed, something which is not revealed until the last 10 minutes by psychiatrist Levene. Good performances all around, especially by Thompson.

Hotel Transylvania. Makes me miss the old hand done animation! The only reason I watched it was, it was raining out side and I could not spray paint some motorcycle parts I needed.

WB, where are you getting this string of noirs? Netflix? Red Box? You're posting some stuff of which I have never heard...

Did I already post that I watched Pygmalion on Friday? 1938, dir. Anthony Asquith and Leslie Howard, introducing Wendy Hiller as Eliza. AA for best screenplay. Hard for (my) American ears to follow some of the high-speed English conversations. It was fun picking up bits and pieces of story or dialogue that turned into song for the musical.

Wally, they're almost all exclusively on YouTube, believe it or not. Just watched Outside the Wall (1950) with Richard Basehart as a recently released prisoner who has no experience with women, and who wants to go straight, but gets involved with a nurse who has a dollar sign for a heart. I think you'd like it; I'll give it a fuller review on the Lounge later on.
