Three more films to add to the mix...

First paragraph: See what I mentioned in previous blogs about seeing actors in their prime.

I watched a film entitled "Eternally Yours" which sounds like what I thought it was going to be: "A Romantic Comedy about a guy who comes back as a ghost to help his wife." When, in fact, it wasn't that at all.

Starring a young David Niven (way before his "No Deposit- No Return" and stupid pointless Pink Panther films) - 29 years old in 1939 and a beautiful Loretta Young. It also starred Broderick Crawford in more of "heavy-weight boxer" stage of his life instead of the old fat curmudgeon roles he played later in life.

Oh, and lastly, Billie Burke in pre: "Glinda the Good Witch" stage but still with that - oh so sweet voice that sounds like she's sucking helium.

Anyway - the point it that it was a good film. Not great by any stretch with some liberal bits of comedy surrounding some deep pathos and emotion.

I followed this with "Good Night and Good Luck" which was very good and now I'm an hour and 15 minutes into "Brokeback" and wondering what all the fuss was about. I'll see if the last hour redeems the film.

More on films later...
