Night of the Demon ('57)
⭐⭐⭐½
I'd never heard of this #DanaAndrews picture until I started looking for #1950s films to watch, and I'm so glad I did. Amongst the slew of cult Sci-Fi's released through the #50s, this supernatural #horror is very welcome.

Suddenly, Last Summer ('59)
⭐⭐⭐½
Based on #TennesseeWilliams' play & directed by #JosephLMankiewicz - #KatharineHepburn, #ElizabethTaylor & #MontgomeryClift star in this mystery that deals w/ mental illness. Oscar nods for the leading ladies.
#1950s

Bus Stop ('56)
⭐⭐⭐
A loud and frustrating romance with annoying, boisterous characters that had just enough appeal to keep me interested. The worst #MarilynMonroe film I've seen so far, but contains one of her most versatile performances.

The Fallen Idol ('48)
⭐⭐⭐
#CarolReed made three #FilmNoir's back to back, and this, the middle one, I found to be his weakest. I didn't much like the script or the annoying characters, but it's nice to see we have our own #Noir classics right here in Britain.

A Bucket of Blood ('59)
⭐⭐⭐½
#DickMiller is #WalterPaisley in this classic #RogerCorman #Horror - a character he would play for the rest of his life. Shot in 5 days for $50k, it's a great example of a low-budget B-movie made very well

State of the Union ('48)
⭐⭐⭐⭐
The world's greatest actor #SpencerTracy & the world's finest actress #KatharineHepburn together again in #FrankCapra's sharp-witted, sublime political comedy. #AngelaLansbury was robbed of a supporting actress nod
#1940s

Now, Voyager ('42)
⭐⭐⭐½
The fifth consecutive #Oscar nomination for #BetteDavis - truly cementing her place in Hollywood history. The costumes and set pieces are so grand and extravagant, I really wish it was shot in technicolor.
#1940s
#40FilmsFromThe40s 12/40
Desperate Journey ('42)
⭐⭐⭐½
#ErrolFlynn and future U.S. President #RonaldReagan take on the #Nazis in this crisply photographed WWII actioner. Top-notch aerial battle sequences set the film up nicely, just a shame it's all dimmed by unnecessary comedy
#40FilmsFromThe40s 6/40
Manpower ('41)
⭐⭐⭐½
On-set Gangsters, fist-fights between stars #EdwardGRobinson & #GeorgeRaft -some behind the scenes Old Hollywood drama; but you'd never tell with the chemistry between the two, add #MarleneDietrich to the mix and you've got a riot!
