Calm Yourself

In this movie, Robert Young creates a business for getting people's dirty work done for them. It sounds like a good idea until he gets involved with a kidnapped baby.  The lovely Madge Evans co-stars.  This was just all right.  I give a 2.5 out of 5 stars.  

Port of Call

This early Ingmar Bergman movie covers topics like abortion and prostitution. It's about a suicidal girl and a boy that can't look back at her past.  Apparently, Ingmar Bergman didn't think he was any good at this time but I'm glad he stuck with it.

Band of Outsiders

This was an ok Jean Luc-Godard starring the ever beautiful Anna Karina who was his wife at the time.  They made several movies together.  Anna Karina's aunt is loaded with cash and two guys from her language class make plans for a theft.  However, things don't go as planned.  Frankly, the ending surprised me.  I didn't see it ending the way it did.  

An Autumn Afternoon

This was Yasujiro Ozu's last movie.  It has the plot of several of his movies about a widower marrying off his daughter. It was ok.  Frankly, I missed Setsuko Hara, an actress that Ozu used frequently.  I think that she would have made this movie better.  She had a nice presence about her.

Le Petit Soldat

I've been watching Jean-Luc Godard movies lately.  I didn't care for Made in U.S.A. but this one was all right.   I also watched Band of Outsiders this week too but I'm going to review that one on its own.  Anna Karina was quite the stunner.  She was Jean-Luc Godard's wife at the time and starred in many of his movies. (She was also a good singer.)  She plays a woman who has a different view of the Algerian war than the lead actor. They still manage a relationship.  This was banned at the time.  This wasn't one of Godard's best but it was all right.  

Rafter Romance

This movie is about a man and a woman who have to share an apartment together.  He gets night time and she gets day time.  Of course, they fall in love. Surprisingly though I liked its remake Living on Love more.  There were too many subplots in this one although I love Ginger Rogers.  

Stingaree

SPOILERS:

This movie disappointed me.  It's about an opera singer and her relationship with a bandit.  She starts touring and becomes a world sensation but gives it all up to be with the bandit again.  I didn't like this at all. I wanted her success.  However, Irene Dunne sounded great and she looks gorgeous.
