Hopefully I'll see you on the other side.
Notorious
Starring: Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman
Original release: 1946
Synopsis: A woman is asked to spy on a group of Nazi friends in South America.
There's Nazi's and spies and Ingrid being all giddy and drunk and brave so there's a lot to like.
Cary on the other hand is a bit of cad and stern seriousness which took me by surprise and is still something that I'm not sure works or if it works a little too well. I kind of missed his usual laid back charm.
Starring: Actors from way back
Original release: 1945
Synopsis: The daily life of a family living in a Brooklyn tenement during the early 1900s.
Who knew that watching a poor family going about daily life could be so interesting.
Starring: Fred MacMurray
Original release: 1942
Synopsis: A struggling painter takes a job as a secretary to a female advertising executive.
You've gotta love the 40's when there were so many of these kinds of movies. Bossy in-charge women, charming up front men, snappy dialogue and sexual tension galore.
Just wonderful.
Starring: Actors who appeared in other more famous movies
Original release: 1951
Synopsis: A young woman enters college and learns some hard truths about sorority life.
Catty and bitchy women 1950's style.
The kind of movie you shouldn't like but weirdly you do.
Starring: Bette Davis and Sterling Hayden
Original release: 1952
Synopsis: A down on her luck middle aged movie star tries to get back on top.
Bette pretty much play herself, right down to the smoking and drinking.
Really though I came here for Sterling.
Starring: Absolutely no idea
Original release: 1955
Synopsis: A female hitchhiker pulls Mike Hammer into a world of intrigue.
Tough guy men, sexy smart women, dangerous going on's... totally me and perfect in every way.
Starring: Cary Grant and Leslie Caron
Original release: 1964
Synopsis: During World War II, a man persuaded to live on an isolated island and spot aircraft finds himself responsible for a teacher and her female students.
Leslie Caron being completely annoying in every way.
I'm with Cary. I too would have left the hut and moved into the boat with a crate of booze.
Liked it for him and his story line, hated it for her.
