That Hagen Girl

This was Shirley Temple's favorite adult role.  In this, she lives in a small town that believes she is the love child of Ronald Reagan.  Shirley does a good job in the role.  People in the town still believe that she is the bad girl so she doesn't get the role of Juliet in the high school production.  She also doesn't get the town jock who she's in love with  SPOILERS -  I agree with someone on imdb the ending was a little creepy.  Ronald's supposed to be her father the majority of the movie and yet at the end of the movie they get hitched.  It didn't feel right.

My Favorite Wife

Cary Grant marries a second wife (Gail Patrick) as he believes his first wife is gone.  However Irene Dunne comes back after being deserted on an island with another man, Randolph Scott.  She wants to have her old life with her kids and Cary Grant back.  This is a cute screwball, really implausible, but it's nice, not one of the best of the genre though.  I've been watching Cary Grant movies lately.  He was really charismatic. 

The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer

Shirley Temple has a crush on artist Cary Grant.  Myrna Loy is a judge and she says that Cary and Shirley have to hang out together until her crush goes away.  Only Myrna starts liking him.  I thought Shirley Temple was cute in this.  I didn't feel that Myrna and Cary had chemistry in this movie, even though I thought they did in Mr. Blandings builds his dream house.  This is worth watching for a look at Shirley Temple's career past her children movies.  

Mr. Blandings builds his dream house

I noticed that I gave this two stars on Netflix ten years ago.  I think it's a better movie now.  Cary Grant plays an advertising man.  With his wife played by Myrna Loy, they plan on getting a new house in Connecticut.  However, it is more expensive than he dreamed and additional costs build up.  He's also stressed out about the new ad campaign.  This movie is cute.  Cary Grant does a good job.  No one ever really gives him credit as an actor.  I think he was just nominated once.  He was just a charming actor.  

The Command

This is a cowboy versus Indians western.  I got this movie because of Guy Madison who was a very handsome actor.  I loved him in the sexist but guilty pleasure Bullwhip with Rhonda Fleming.  He was fun in that.  In this, he plays a doctor who becomes the commanding officer after the guy dies.  There are some nice scenes between the nurse Joan Weldon and him in this movie.  There was some chemistry between them.    

Central Airport

I got this because I liked Sally Eilers in Bad Girl. I first learned about Sally in a Whatever happened to book.  Richard Barthelmess plays a pilot and since this is a William A. Wellman movie you get shots of aerial work.  Sally Eilers can't decide between Richard and his brother Tom Brown and realizes too late she picked the wrong brother.  There's some precode stuff in here as well.  This movie lacked something though.  It didn't really satisfy me.
