Run Silent Run Deep (1959)-A movie you should see at least Two Times.

               This is what I said three years ago! Another month and I’m still “sheltering in place” due to the current Covid -19 Pandemic. There are so many jobs around home that I have tackled and for the most part I have not been bored. Activity is therapeutic, and I have been very active,(at least for an 80-year-old guy). What do you think about that? In spite of what I just said, I must confess that some depression has crept…

Weekend at The Waldorf – A Great Remake of a Classic

Weekend at The Waldorf – A Great Remake of a Classic

Weekend at The Waldorf (1945) is an ingenious remake of the award-winning genuine classic. It is lighthearted and intended to lift our spirits. WW II was coming to a close and the world needed to be encouraged to be cheerful. A remake as dark and gloomy as Grand Hotel (1932) just would not have been enjoyed. Grand Hotel is, as of now, the only film to receive an Oscar for Best Picture without being nominated for any other category! This…

Made For Each Other1939 Movie – Comedy, Drama, Romance

There is a great deal of drama in Made For Each Other. There is a comedy in this 92-minute movie, however, Made For Each Other is not “a comedy.” The phrase “made for each,” other implies that the couple in this movie is so perfectly suited for each other that it’s no surprise when a couple is happily married. However, I’ll leave it up to the viewers to decide if the couple in this movie is truly made for each…

Come Live With Me – A Classic Movie Nobody knows

Come Live With Me – A Classic Movie Nobody knows

This film’s running time is one hour and 26 minutes. That is a little shorter than many really classic movies.  There is enough time to develop the plot without boring anyone. It is a romance/comedy that is not unbelievable. I’m going to do something a little differently from my other movie posts. Come Live With Me is a romantic comedy that is very entertaining and delightful to watch. As in my other posts, I will not reveal the content or…
