You can’t change entirely the whole premise of a series of detective stories right on the very first one.

#26 Penguin Pool Murder
Edna May Oliver was 49 when she made this movie, and the inspector, played by James Gleason, whom she calls “young man,” is 50. Age was a much different thing in the 1930s!
#25 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
I am less afraid of the Wicked Queen these days, though she still is pretty scary!
#24 That’s Entertainment, Part II
I wonder, since they didn’t use the actual song, That’s Entertainment for the first film, was it an oversight, or were they saving it for the sequel?
#23 That’s Entertainment!
It was made and released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of MGM. Watching it now, I realize that we are only a few years off from the 100th anniversary, and then I crumble into dust.
Week 3 wrap-up 1/15-1/21
For someone with no follow-through, this is worth, if not a parade, then at least a small celebration.
#21 Hang ‘Em High
One very nice thing indeed about having actors for parents is how sometimes movies or TV shows they were in just sort of pop up out of nowhere.
#22 Charade
Charade is like The Maltese Falcon, or The African Queen, in that when you have the opportunity you watch it, you watch it.
#20 Murder By Death
It is so hard to believe that even after blackface was pretty much gone, yellowface was still around even through the 1980s.
#19 Bulldog Drummond’s Secret Police
