La Bien Pagada (The Well-Paid Woman)
This was an ok Mexican soap opera about an adultress who learns a lesson. A wealthy man expects his beautiful wife of cheating and no surprise he catches her in the act. A few years later he finds out she has become a dancer. He becomes one of her visitors. She feels guilty. She was no saint but I felt like he was manipulative and mean towards her, let her move on with her life. He falls in love with her saintly sister but I didn't feel he was worthy of her. Alberto Gout would later make the classic Aventurera, a much better movie. Tf anything this is worth a watch to see the promise he had before he made a masterpiece of Mexican cinema.
Much Too Shy
This was an ok George Formby movie. I like Feather your Nest a lot more and that one had better songs. This is a commentary on the art community. George Formby tries to get art lessons. He's drawn a picture of some of the heads of women in the town but doesn't know how to draw the body. Someone draws the bodies nude and before he knows it it's an ad in the newspaper which gets him in a lot of trouble. It was entirely predictable because some of the reactions from the women were different than what I expected. I'll be watching more George Formby movies.
