The Devil is Driving

This precode is about a drunken gambler who works as a mechanic at a garage. When his girlfriend's nephew gets hit by a car, he doesn't take it lightly especially when he finds out it's a client at the garage. Eventually the bad guys get what's coming to them. This was just ok. There's better precodes but it's only a hour.

Corridor of Mirrors

A woman has a relationship with a wealthy guy obsessed with her since she looks exactly like the painting he has in his house. He's preoccupied with the past and has a corridor of mirrors packed with luxurious old dresses. When she's done with playing make believe the woman wakes up and realizes that she shouldn't be with this disturbed man. This British movie has great sets and costume design but it doesn't measure up to being a masterpiece. It is a good movie though but it could have been more.

The Midshipmaid Gob

This was a Jessie Matthews movie when she was just beginning. She was the best thing in it by a long shot. It wasn't that good. This was John Mills' debut. He was an established British actor and he's also known for being Hayley Mills' dad. The small plot concerns the crew of a navy shop putting on a talent show. Jessie Matthews would later have a pretty good filmography. She did the first Victor/Victoria.

Feather your Nest

This was a cute late British 30's movie starring ukulele singer George Formby. He plays a clumsy guy who is in love with a girl but her mother dismisses him because of his poverty. Meanwhile he accidentally breaks the master of a song at work, so he replaces it with his own version. When he gets fired, George thinks all is lost. But then his version hits the charts and everything works out for the better. If you like Cliff Edwards, you will probably like George Formby. I'll be watching more of his movies. I thought it was charming.

Middle of the Night

Frederic March plays an elderly widower who falls in love with a twenty four year old woman played by Kim Novak. I like this movie because it doesn't make him out to be a creep but it's way too long. It's two hours. It would have been better if it were cut twenty or thirty mintues. Meanwhile the rest of the supporting characters complain about the age difference making the characters feel even more uncomfortable about the relatioship. Will the relationship survive? I didn't realize how young Kim Novak was in her brief film career and she retired quite early.

Honeymoon Deferred

There's two films that have this name. This is the 1951 one starring Sally Ann Howes. I like Sally but this movie wasn't that good. It concerns a couple that has just gotten married and they travel to Italy. Once there he finds a woman who claims that he is the father of her child and Sally believes him. There's also a problem with the water in the town. I would say this is only for Sally Ann Howes fans.

Krrish

This is a sequel to Kol Mil Gaya. I like it more the original. Priyanka Chopra plays a girl who discovers a man with superhero powers living in a small community. When he follows her to Singapore, she exploits his skills. He takes on an identity as a superhero and stops an evil scientist from destroying the world. This was a fun popcorn flick and it did well at the box office at the time sporting multiple sequels.
