Movies and books
I don’t see why we can’t discuss movies AND books in here – the two are quite related after all and, even if the moviemakers DON’T always stick to the story (James Bond series for one), some of them are quite good.
Monty Woolley: remember The Man Who Came to Dinner? What a curmudgeon he was in that one. I loved it. And speaking of curmudgeons, how about Sidney Greenstreet? He was one occasionally but more often than not, he played a villain and I loved his snort/laugh/chuckle – ah-HUH, but not the ‘yes I agree’ type un-huh. It covered all three of those. He was in Casablanca.
I don’t like most of today’s movies – and I’ve found that a lot of the old movies aren’t close-captioned either. Frustrating.
Was it Dick Powell who was Nick Charles to Myrna Loy’s Nora?
