    "Manhattan Melodrama" (1934) Good movie with a good cast. William Powell & Myrna Loy pre "Thin Man". A bit preachy toward the end. Also has an early version of "Blue Moon" sung by Shirley Ross at the Cotton Club.

    Finished re-watching "Quigley Down Under". Good shootem up. Alan Rickman's character just oozes nasty. Good to remember; just cause you don't have much use for something doesn't mean you don't know how to use it.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" on Netflix. Kind of fun, and not too cerebral. Gives the flavor of the period (1928), without getting too deep in the details. And she drives a 1923 Hispano-Suiza 46CV. How cool is that?

    "The House Without a Key" (1925) by Earl Derr Biggers. The first Charlie Chan mystery. A good murder mystery, where Charlie while the main detective does not play a major roll in the mystery.

    "Hell's Angels" (1930) on DVD with Jean Harlow, Ben Lyons and James Hall. I thought it was overly long, at 2+ hours, and Jean Harlow's character didn't add much to the story line. That said, the Zeppelin sequence was interesting. I think "Dawn Patrol" (1930) is a better film without the...

    "The Day of the Triffids" (1962) on Amazon Prime. Typical apocalyptic film. Not to bad considering the time.
