Jezebel (Bette Davis and Henry Fonda, 1938) last night on TCM. I like the scene where Henry Fonda forces Bette Davis to go to the dance in her red dress. Reminded me of Gone with the Wind, but it was based on a play from 1933. Didn't care much for the ending.
"A Dog's Purpose" is my best ever favorite pet movie. It's about a dog who reincarnates through many lives. You see the movie as seen by the dog who talks to himself about his different experiences. Especially good ending as the dog reunites in his final lifetime with his beloved master from a much earlier lifetime.
"Deadly Relations." Non fiction. An obsessive father (Robert Urich) turns to murder and insurance scams when his daughters take control of their own lives.
I watched Sahara 1943 with Bogart and that was last evening. I never realized a young Loyd Bridges was also in the movie plus a whole host of other stars then and to be. I have watched the movie at least 10 times over the years and the reason it was very realistic was because the vehicles were real since it was during war time the movie was filmed.
"Lizzie" Elizabeth Montgomery - great performance portraying Lizzie Borden. I didn't know she was found "Not Guilty," what her motive was, or what a pervert her father was.
My husband has been watching old war movies; The Longest Day and Tora! Tora! Tora! on the old movies channel.
Charles Laughton in Hobson's Choice from 1954: This is one of the cleverest, funniest movies I've seen in a while. I had to look up what a Hobson's choice was. From Wikipedia: A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one thing is actually offered. The term is often used to describe an illusion that multiple choices are available. The most well known Hobson's choice is "I'll give you a choice: take it or leave it", wherein "leaving it" is strongly undesirable. The phrase is said to have originated with Thomas Hobson (1544–1631), a livery stable owner in Cambridge, England, who offered customers the choice of either taking the horse in his stall nearest to the door or taking none at all. This was to keep his best horses from being worn out from being chosen too often by his guests for riding and foxhunts. They supposedly could choose from any horse in the stables - as long as they chose the closest one to the door. https://tubitv.com/movies/682113/hobson-s-choice Hobson is a bustle-era London shoe shop owner, circa 1870's or so, whose 30 year old daughter decides not to wait around any longer for a man to come marry her. She sets out to do the job herself - to her father's and younger sisters' horror and against all the mores of the time. I'm not sure how the Hobson's choice applies but this is an entertaining movie.
That is a good movie - also Witness for The Prosecution with Tyrone Power and Marlene Dietrich. I went on a Charles Laughton spree today.
