Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Gemini Cricket]

Psycho - Rewatched this one for the umteenth time. Still love it. Robert Osborne introduced it on TCM and noted that the film's score was all strings. I guess I hadn't noticed that before. Pretty cool. I also chuckled at one line of dialogue Janet Leigh says at the beginning, "For this, we have to meet in secrecy to be secretive". Something like that. Funny.

Behave Yourself - Quirky slapstick comedy with Farley Granger and Shelly Winters. It was only okay. Kinda dull.

The Human Comedy - A tug at the heart strings movie about a family living in a small town. Mickey Rooney, Donna Reed are in it. It was okay, kinda sappy.

The Window - A Hitchcockian "boy who cried wolf" story. I liked this one although the ending was weak. Bobby Driscoll was in it, he was pretty good. Apparently won a special juvenile Oscar for his performance.

Breaker Morant - I love this movie. I can watch this one over and over. Something about it...

Hold Your Man - Jean Harlow, Clark Gable. Mild film with some pretty good moments in it.
