My name is Julia Ross

My Name is Julia Ross is a short pretty effective noir from Joseph H. Lewis the guy who did Gun Crazy.  It's about a girl who is hired into a job little does she know she signed up for a nightmare.  She is held hostage in the house and told that she is someone's wife.  I applaud TCM for their Film Noir Classics collection.  They really dig up treasure that would just be left rot to otherwise. 

The Iron Horse

This was a pretty boring John Ford silent.  It's about the beginning of the railroad.  Madge Bellamy plays the love interest.  I really wish she was in the movie more because I like her.  Her storyline should have been extended.

Her Kind of Man

I found the cover art deceptive.  I thought it was going to be a comedy.  It was just a mediocre crime drama.  The best thing about it was Janis Paige who was very pretty and could handle a tune.  You can pass this one.  

The Goddess

I decided to find a genre that I haven't explored yet Chinese silents.  The actress who plays this Lingyu Ruan is very good.  In fact, I bought another of her movies.  Here she plays a prostitute who strives to provide her son with a good education.  Unfortunately, her reputation gets in the way of him getting an education.  Her pimp in this movie was very creepy. 

Girl of the Port

I got this because of Sally O'Neil who I loved in some Buster Keaton's comedies.  She plays an energetic girl here and a blonde too.  She was ok but she was more charismatic in the Keaton movies.  This movie is about a soldier with a fear of fire and him overcoming it.  It's only 65 minutes.  Basically, if you're a Sally O'Neil fan it's worth a watch. 

Lucky Me

This was one of the worst Doris Day musicals I've seen.  It's about four performers who include Nancy Walker, Phil Silvers, and Doris Day.  They are struggling to make it while doing mediocre jobs.  The good thing is this movie is that Doris Day sings a lot.  However, I cared little about the plot or the characters. Nancy Walker who was a singer and a Broadway star at the time only sang for like ten seconds.  I felt like the movie could have at least given her a song to sing.  Doris Day didn't have to hog all the room.
