Mostly movies.
Had a quick flick through the listings and couldn't find a single channel showing 'The Holly and the Ivy' this holiday season. That's terribly disappointing.

Watched 'House of Strangers' (1949) there's a distinct lack of brotherly love in that film.

Watched 'Melody Club' today, a feeble comedy starring Terry-Thomas. Not one I would recommend.

Seem to have seen a lot of Dick Powell films this year. Didn't realise quite how many musicals he made.

Happy birthday, beautiful Joan Fontaine! Pretty please: Stop talking about her overhyped "feud" with her sister, and watch her films—REBECCA, LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, IVY, THE CONSTANT NYMPH, KISS THE BLOOD OFF MY HANDS, SUSPICION, SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR, BORN TO BE BAD. She was so talented.

"This is a story of a period between two World Wars—an interim in which Insanity cut loose. Liberty took a nose dive, and Humanity was kicked around somewhat."

Next week marks 85 years since THE GREAT DICTATOR opened in New York City.

Watched Mike Leigh's 'Hard Truths' one of the finest films of last year, an absolutely outstanding performance from Marianne Jean-Baptiste.

I really wish Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd had made more films together.

Watched 'The Deadly Affair' (1967) starring James Mason and Simone Signoret, based on the John Le Carre novel. Excellent film, well worth seeing.

Wednesday evening is all about 'Maigret' on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social for me. This Fench series is the best of all the Maigret series I have seen.
