The Moon-Spinners

I started Mary Stewart's book and found it boring. I thought well maybe the movie is better. I found it to be the worst Hayley Mills' movie she made during Disney. The movie is concerned with jewelry smuggling. The real problem is the villain isn't interesting and one-dimensonal. When that happens it's hard to be passionate for the good guy to win. I do think Hayley Mills was Disney's best child actress and she was always fun to watch in the 1960s. You should watch The Parent Trap instead.

The Animal Kingdom

Leslie Howard marries the cold manipulative Myrna Loy only to find himself going back to his more relaxed mistress Ann Harding. I loved Ann Harding in It happened on 5th avenue so it was nice seeing her in an earlier role. This was just ok. It didn't blow my mind but it was a good 3/5.

Not Wanted

This movie was mostly directed by Ida Lupino and it was co-scripted by her as well. It's about an unwed girl who gets pregnant. There's the detached pianist who knocked who up and a sweet lame guy who actually does care for her. The ending is over the top and unintentionally had me and my sister laugh. Ida Lupino was simply an awesome director and actress. She was one of the first female directors and really her work still stands well today.
