This the first week where I didn’t have an, “IT’S MIDNIGHT AND I CAN’T FIND ANYTHING TO WATCH!!!” freak out.

January wrap-up
Well, the first thing to say is that I actually made it through one month!
#32 In & Of Itself
I heard a lot about this movie before seeing this movie, but everything I heard about this movie was, “We can’t tell you about this movie!”
#31 The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
When I hear it now, it’s different. Now it is the music of my childhood and adolescence, so I love it because of the memories.
#30 That’s Entertainment! III

Have I mentioned yet that Ray Bolger gave me my very first tap lesson, impromptu on the Warner lot?
#27 Murder on the Blackboard
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!
