Week in Review

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.

  • Murder on a Honeymoon (1935) - Another fun mystery featuring the wonderful Miss Withers.

  • Whiplash (1948) - Review coming

  • Gunman in the Streets (1950) - Pretty decent film.  I'm not a huge Dane Clark fan, but Simone Sigoret is amazing!  In this film, Clark plays her escaped convict ex-boyfriend.  She must choose between her current boy and the guy she can't get out of her system.  The photography seemed like what I would consider a typical European film.  Well done, but not my favorite.

  • Secret of Madame Blanche (1933) - Review coming

  • Champagne Charlie (1936) - Review coming

  • Millie (1931) - Review coming

  • Fox features 11 Hollywood "Good Girls" Who Were Actually Naughty.  I have to say the list wasn't surprising, but I do think some of them shouldn't have been there.  Their "crimes" really are minor.  If someone is a "bad girl" for drinking or having multiple partners, almost every celebrity is one.

  1. Augh, you have so much better things on TCM in the US! The UK version is rubbish.
