What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[BegintheBeguine]

If you haven't read the book this was based on, Before the Fact by Francis Iles, track it down now for a treat--it's incredibly well written.

In fact, I'd highly recommend Malice Aforethought , or anything written by this author (he also wrote as Anthony Berkeley Cox or A.B. Cox).

I have no idea why his work isn't better known, it deserves to be.

Thank you imoldfashioned my friend. I keep meaning to track Before the Fact down. I did read Malice Aforethought when I ran an antique shop after college and have never forgotten it; it's worth another reading.
The last movie I watched was my annual viewing of Castle of Evil. I love Virginia Mayo.

I have a "new" old movie for tonight, has anyone seen "Pickup on South Street" with Richard Widmark? I'm looking forward to it.

I have always loved John Wayne's Quiet Man!

Sure the Duke will always be remembered for his "Tall in the Saddle" image. However The Quiet Man will always be one of my all time movie favorites. Not to mention the perfect pairing of the Duke with the lovely Moureen O'Hara!!


"Here you go sir... A nice stick for beating the young lady!"

"thanks..."

Great film noir. There is a superb critical chapter on it in Jack Shadoian's book Dreams and Dead Ends.

I just finished reading Maureen O'Hara's autobiography where she talks extensively about making The Quiet Man and about her close friendship with John Wayne. I'm really looking forward to watching it.

I just watched "It's a Gift" with W.C. Fields for the 100th time. It's my favorite Fields movie " open the door for Mr Muckle the blind man ! ".

This was an amazing film. Probably not terribly historically accurate, but very entertaining nonetheless! What amazes me is that the actors got into such terrific shape for the movie - and they did it the old fashioned way.
