What I Watched in April
An overview of what I watched in April. I think I was making up for the near dearth of movies I watched in March...

I went into this movie with zero expectations, because Tammy and the Bachelor is one of my favourite movies and Tammy Tell Me True was awful, but I was pleasantly surprised at this. It's charming, light, and I can finally see why Sandra Dee took up Debbie Reynolds's mantle as Tammy Tyree.
So sumptuously melodramatic and gorgeously shot.

Oh, my heart! Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne are perfect in their roles; and it's always a treat to see Esther Williams and Van Johnson. This movie will break your heart and then reform it.
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972)

If you told me a month ago that I'd willingly watch a '70s western that starred Paul Newman and featured a scene of him pushing a bear on a swing, I would have laughed in your face.
Tammy and the Doctor (1963)

Back Street (1961)
So sumptuously melodramatic and gorgeously shot.
Take Her, She's Mine (1963)

I've enjoyed discovering Sandra Dee this year.
Topper Takes a Trip (1938)

I love the Topper movies.
The Silencers (1966)
I was convinced I'd already seen this movie, about Dean Martin as a boozy photographer-cum-spy saving the world from a madman with a model-esque sidekick, which I have: Murderers' Row, but it turns out that this is the original and Murderers' Row is a sequel.
Funny how that worked out.
Panic in Year Zero (1962)

Middle aged Ray Milland? Still got it.
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)
The Night of the Iguana (1964)

Ava Gardner, Richard Burton and Deborah Kerr all made this movie magnetic.
Two-Faced Woman (1941)
Charming, but both Garbo and Melvyn Douglas made better films.
Claudelle Inglish (1961)

This tried so hard to be something it wasn't, but I did appreciate seeing a bunch of television stars of the era in this movie.
Call Me Madam (1953)
Gotta be honest, I didn't care too much for this one, but I loved Donald O'Connor.
A Guy Named Joe (1943)
Oh, my heart! Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne are perfect in their roles; and it's always a treat to see Esther Williams and Van Johnson. This movie will break your heart and then reform it.
