What I Watched in January

An overview of what I watched in January.

Moon Over Miami (1941)

Oh, I loved this. So fun, the costumes were great, the story was tight, the songs catchy, Betty Grable is perfection and Don Ameche really nailed down the '40s charmer. I must own this on DVD! 

My Forbidden Past (1951)

Look, I get it. I'd probably go insane too if I fumbled Robert Mitchum. 

A Foreign Affair (1948)

I watched this because Be Kind Rewind was introducing it. Would I watch it again? Probably not. 

Daisies (Sedmikrásky) (1966)

This whole movie looks like some of my wackiest dreams. I loved it. 

I also remember reading someone's very impassioned article/series of tweets/Substack link? about how excited they were that Daisies was getting a Criterion release and I can't for the life of me remember who it was. But their effusive praise for Daisies stuck with me to the point that as I was randomly scrolling through the television stations and saw this on Hollywood Suite, I remembered this! If you recognize this person, let me know! I want to pass along how much I loved this. 

Sorry, Wrong Number (1948)

By the end of it I was just waiting for them to break into Barbara Stanwyck's room and off her. This was a lil too long for my tastes, but I bet I would've loved listening to the radio play.  

Spinout (1966)

I'm nearing the end, folks!

Cabin in the Sky (1943)

I was riveted. This was so good!
