What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

The Dark Corner - 1946

This is a crime noir movie, but I'm not sure how it ended up in my list to be watched. I found it a bit sad the main character is listed fourth on the movie poster. Poor guy!

Galt finds himself being followed and decides to find out what's going on. He scuffles with the man and hears a name from his past: Jardine. It seems like his old partner is after him, but in reality, he's being set up. Galt's secretary is along for the ride and will do just about anything to help.

This movie was okay, but there wasn't anything special that made it stand out. Lucille Ball puts on a pretty good performance, and the plot was interesting enough, but it just didn't have anything in it to push it over the top. It was an okay movie, but I don't think I would watch it again. I will give it credit for a clever title, though.
