The Errand Boy

I got this because the jazz vocalist Pat Dahl is in it.  I own her only album.  I think she plays the girl who can sing with "Lover."  There's little plot.  It's mostly just gags done by Jerry Lewis (who also directed this.)  The one I liked the best was the one with the jelly beans.  His best so far by a long shot was The Nutty Professor.  I don't think he's as bad as people make him out to be though. 

Lilith

I watched this when I was a teenager and I loved it.  Twenty years passed and during that time I got diagnosed with OCD and bipolar and went through two breakdowns.  The whole romanticizing of mental illness in movies is unsettling to me.  I thought it was a good movie though.  It just didn't hold up to what I made of it.   Apparently, this was Jean Seberg's favorite movie of hers, although I think it's easily Breathless.  Jean Seberg plays a schizophrenic nymphomaniac.  Warren Beatty plays the therapist who falls for her.  Peter Fonda plays a man she leads on.  I'll probably read the book it's based on again.  I remember liking it. For Jean Seberg fans this is a must.

Murder!

I didn't really care for this early Alfred Hitchcock movie.  It was mediocre.  It's the standard jury movie where Herbert Marshall just has a feeling that the person didn't do it.  If you want to watch a great early Hitchcock movie watch The Lodger.  Still, it wasn't a waste.  I like Herbert Marshall and he was an excellent actor who had plenty of work in the 30's and 40's.  

Night Court

I really liked this movie.  It had a nice twist ending.  Anita Page is one of my favorite actresses from the 30's and she plays a good girl whose name's been slandered.  It's about a corrupt judge who sentences the innocent Anita Page to jail.  Her husband can't believe that she committed a crime. He goes out to investigate the case for himself.  Eventually, the judge gets what's coming to him.  Anita Page was a versatile actress but this isn't my favorite performance from her.   It was Our Dancing Daughters where she played a bad girl.  

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.
