Good Movies, April 2021

• The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek, 1943 - ★★★★.

  

  I truly adore movies from the 40s that went out of their way to flaunt the Hayes code.

• Darling, 1965 - ★★★★.

  

  Watched on Wednesday March 31, 2021.

• Algiers, 1938 - ★★★★.

  

  “What are you looking at?” “France.” “You can’t see France from here.”  “Well, there’s no harm in trying.”

• Go Naked in the World, 1961 - ★★.

  

  Heavily flawed (the ending especially) but it took huge swings.

• Equinox Flower, 1958 - ★★★.

  

  Pleasantville.

• Carefree, 1938 - ★★★.

  

  “Oh, Tony’s all right, except for that he’s a dirty double-crossing scientist.”

• Smooth Talk, 1985 - ★★.

  

  Maybe if they’d used the rollers the house would have been painted by now.

• Any Number Can Play, 1949 - ★★★★.

  

  A sleeper of a classic. Why hasn’t someone remade this one?

• Bad Education, 2019 - ★★★★.

  

  I don’t that kid is gonna get into OMNI.

• It’s Always Fair Weather, 1955 - ★★★.

  

  Technically brilliant and creative numbers. I wanted more Cyd.
