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!

Please Murder Me - 1956

This movie stars Raymond Burr and Angela Lansbury. If you know anything about these two, you're essentially watching Perry Mason and Jessica Fletcher out of their element.

Craig is a defense attorney that has been bamboozled into defending his best friend's wife in a murder case. Craig is actually in love with her and believes that Joe finding out he's been betrayed has caused him to attack Myra, and she killed Joe in self-defense. Once she's free, it becomes clear she only used him to get Joe's money. Now Craig has a new mission. He only had three thing in life. His love for his friend, his work, and his love for Myra. She's destroyed them all, and now his sole mission is to push her to commit another murder and catch her in the act.

I like this movie, even though Ms. Murder She Wrote is a heartless villain. I've watched it a few times, and learned the valuable lesson "Don't cross Raymond Burr." Good Movie!
