Re: Claude Rains in September

I personally love Now Voyager, and Casablanca, but of course everyone does. - JackFavell Jackaaaay, I'm with you on that score.

Re: The Missing Juror (1944)

Ms. G., #1. Aaaaaah "Butterfield 8." Love when she grinds that stiletto into Harvey's foot as he holds her tighter. But for true S & M pleasure you've got to catch the great Karloff in "The Black Cat" (1934) . That art deco set, the outfits Karloff wore...(that dinner jacket...

Re: The Missing Juror (1944)

Okay Mr. 1960. You've made a good argument. 'Just b'cuz someone we like is in a motion picture doesn't make the movie good.' I understand that ...intellectually. Many of a fave of mine have appeared in clunkers. And while I was watching, I knew the film was a clunker. (Let's not pick on La Liz, okay...

Re: The Missing Juror (1944)

"A very so-so mystery with relatively few noir elements. But, like most films from this period and of this style, it is certainly (at the very least) worth recording." - Dewey1960.
