Wife vs. Secretary (1936)

Posted on June 4, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I loved this story. I appreciated the story in the fact that I think it represents a true account of what jealousy and misunderstanding can do to a marriage. The actors all do a wonderful job with their … Continue reading →

Hold Your Man (1933)

Posted on April 23, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Jean Harlow and Clark Gable, what a pair. They were so good together that I had to double-check to see if they had a real life romance as well. They didn’t, which makes the chemistry even better. The film … Continue reading →

Frankenstein (1931)

Posted on April 20, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR To me and many others this is a true Frankenstein story. The film was based on the play by  Peggy Webling  which in turn was based on the novel by Mary Shelley. The film doesn’t follow the book very much … Continue reading →

Love Me Tonight (1932)

Posted on April 2, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This is a romance. A perfect romance story. A man with nothing gets the Princess. The music, of course, is wonderful. The music is from the flawless Rodgers and Hart duo. Maurice Chevalier does a classic performance as a tailor … Continue reading →

After the Thin Man (1936)

Posted on March 24, 2011 by laurarachel4

Lost Horizon (1937)

Posted on February 22, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Although, nothing in this movie stands out as bad, I wasn’t feeling it. It felt long-it was 132 minutes-and none of the characters appealed to me. This film was directed by one of my favorites Frank Capra and … Continue reading →

Rose Marie (1936)

Posted on January 20, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Sit back and enjoy a taste of mushy, sentimental, sugar-coated 113 minutes of  cinema. I don’t care that it was made during the Depression, it was still sugary sweet even for then. The acting was dreadful; the singing … Continue reading →

A Christmas Carol (1938)

Posted on January 6, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This is, by far, my most favorite of the adaptions to A Christmas Carol. I loved it. Reginald Owen is the best Scrooge ever! To find out later that he wasn’t even suppose to have the role makes … Continue reading →
