Film Review - Caretakers (1963)

Caretakers (1963) is an interesting view of the Mental Health system.  Strong performances by all: Robert Stack as the Doctor, Joan Crawford as the nurse administrator who fights him, the wonderful actors and actresses who played the patients and nurses such as Polly Bergen (the main patient) and Susan Oliver as the understanding nurse.  Other amazing performances by Janis Paige, Van Williams, Sharon Hugueny, and Ellen Corby are well worth it.

Films I've Watched

• Sports Scope Ski-Flying (1956) - Fun short about ski jumping
• Jimmy Fund at Home with Joan Crawford (1953) - As a disabled kid, I wish more stars would come out to help children.  Thank goodness for Marlo Thomas and St. Judes!
• Let's Ask Nostradamus (1953) - Gotta love those prediction shorts.  Nostradamus has fascinated people for ages.  I'm not sure why, but when reading his stanzas, I feel like the vagueness of his predictions could be twisted to whatever meaning you wish.  Hindsight can always change things.

Films I've Watched

• Penguin Pool Murder (1932) - I love these Hildegarde Withers films featuring the amazing Edna Mae Oliver.  She was such an amazing actress - spunky, with an acid tongue.  Thanks to TCM for playing these gems every Saturday morning.

Fashion Friday - Freaky Faces

This Week; 11 September 1966

I found some cool ephemera when I picked some items from my grandparents home.  Mostly animals pictures from 1960's issues of This Week, some interesting things were on the back of some of those picture.
