Gold of the Seven Saints

Roger Moore (before James Bond) and Clint Walker star as partners with some gold, which everyone seems to want a part of.  This western was ok.  There was chemistry between the two stars.  I liked the ending which was not what I expected, not really a twist but different.  I'll have to watch more of Clint Walker as he was mostly known as a tv actor.

Love

This is loosely based on Anna Karenina especially the end which is very different.  In the silent era, Greta Garbo already showed herself to be a lovely star full of talent.  In this movie, she gives up everything for John Gilbert.  John Gilbert and Greta were apparently lovers in real life and the chemistry in this movie shows.  

Made on Broadway

I found out about Sally Eilers from a Whatever Happened to book and I've been pleased since my discovery of her particularly in Bad Girl.  In Made on Broadway she has a wonderful role to play.  At first in the movie, she tries to drown herself. Robert Montgomery saves her and falls for her.  However, she kills a man and in "Chicago" like style she becomes a celebrity.  Robert Montgomery saves her again.  But will his feelings remain the same?  Good precode.

L'Enfance Nue

 This movie is similar to The 400 Blows as it's about a troubled adolescent.  The boy goes from foster parent to foster parent getting in trouble and making the wrong friends.  The actor Michel Terrazon, who didn't have many cinematic roles, is pretty good.  I wish that he had starred in more pictures as he came across as natural.  This was the first movie by Maurice Pialat.

H.M. Pulham Esq.

This is a pretty boring movie.  It's about a businessman who loves Hedy Lamarr but settles for Ruth Hussey.  There are some charismatic actors in this movie like Van Heflin and Bonita Granville but they're not nearly in it as much as they should be.  I'm not a fan of Hedy but she was all right in this.  Unless you're a Lamarr fan I would pass this movie.

She's working her way through college

I like Virginia Mayo and that's the reason why I got this musical.  It's watchable but not great.  It was based on The Male Animal, a movie I didn't care for although it starred some excellent actors like Henry Fonda.  Virginia Mayo plays a girl in burlesque who decides to quit that lifestyle and go to college.  Soon the quarterback is interested in her.  Ronald Reagan is a professor there and he stands up for Virginia when her credibility is questioned.  

Tartuffe

I've watched a couple of F.W. Muranu movies lately.  This one is about a husband not believing his wife that their guest is a hypocrite and is actually a sleazy guy.  This is from the Moliere play.  There is a back story about another hypocritical person, a housekeeper trying to get money from her sick employer.  This isn't my favorite Muranu movie but it was pretty good.  

36 Hours

One person at my church talked about this movie in their testimony so I knew I had to watch it.  James Garner wakes up in a hospital and is told he has amnesia and it's been a couple of years.  But are these people telling the truth or is there some secret motive?  The way he figures out that they're messing with his mind is neat.  I read the Roald Dahl story Beware of the Dog this is based on and they've expanded it and made it better.  That's a compliment because I really like Roald Dahl.  Eva Marie Saint plays the nurse.
