Missing Witnesses

This wasn't that good of a movie.  Luckily it was only an hour.  It's about witnesses changing their mind when they realize the mob might go after them.  One witness Jean Dale has seen a crime.  For a while, she looks like a traitor but that is resolved.  There are better movies in the 30's even ones that just last 60-70 minutes.

Captain Applejack

Although it's only an hour this movie was a disappointment.  A man finds out that his ancestors could have been pirates and that's the reason why they're rich.  There's a pirate sequence for like ten minutes.  Otherwise, it's just a boring talkie.  I like Mary Brian.  She's in it for a bit.

Sidewalks of New York

This is a Buster Keaton talkie.  I've seen this and What no Beer and I'm not impressed so far by his talkie period, but his silent films were genius.  In this Buster decides to save some street kids, one of which has Anita Page as a sister.  She's the love interest in this movie. I recommend it only for Anita Page and Buster Keaton fans.  It was mediocre. 2.5/5

Teresa

This was one of Pier Angeli's first movies.  She was a gorgeous underrated actress.  It's about a soldier who probably has PTSD from World War II.  He marries a young girl he met in Italy.  However, with his family life, there are complications.  The movie was kind of slow.  Although the movie is not that great I recommend it for Angeli fans.  I remember seeing stills for this movie in a film book when I was a little kid.  That was my introduction to Pier Angeli.
