Key Largo...my first time. Really liked this one. I dunno is it just me but when she is around actors of this calibre, Bacall looks out of place...my two cents.
Angel Face is excellent viewing. It was a great roll for Jean Simmons. I thought Mitchum was great in Cape Fear and he delivered a more chilling performance than DeNiro did playing the same part in the remake.
Finished Sunset Blvd. it was a great film - not that crazy about Swanson's creepy fingers and over dramatic acting but maybe that was part of her character? Really enjoyed Nancy Olson (Betty) the most and Max was a good character.
Victoria & Abdul is a fascinating film based on a true story, that only came to light in 2010. See the film and you will find out why. Judy Dench is amazing.

Love Sunset Boulevard...for me Swanson was perfect as Norma...a product of her time and history. Remember Norma was a huge silent film star, so her expressions and "over acting" would have been everything in her career...
I spy On The Waterfront too. Another fantastic one!
Just finished viewing series 2 of this great U.K. television series. News is, after a cliffhanger ending, that a series 3 hasn't been commissioned, in spite of great ratings and support. Why do well written programs like this, and The Inspector Lynley Mysteries among many others, get axed when they are pulling big audiences and are very popular with viewers ? Television network executives deserve the boo of the day and what's more this is what a lot of people think of the decision -

Sunset Boulevard and then Breakfast at Tiffany's were on the telly today.
Sunset is such a great movie....Swanson still stops me in my tracks!
Finished off The Love Lottery last night...just as expected...sweet and funny.
Then moved on to The Place Beyond The Pines...mixed bag for me. Like where it went story wise but the end kinda didn't feel right.
Lady Killers in on the telly! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Next up:
Angel Face was excellent as well (even though you could see the ending coming a mile away)
Simmons was wonderful...Mitchum in Night Of The Hunter is still the best I've seen him!

Yeah, not one I would watch again...had its moments but found it hard work to get to the end. Still love the poster though!
