Yes, I said I was going to have a real post this Monday, and here I sit, watching old movies. I took a vacation day today, never mind why, explanations are tiresome. When we got back home from our obligations, we wanted to watch movies. I wanted an old one, and Steven (my husband) recommended Witness for the Prosecution (1957). It was a good idea. Billy Wilder, yes.
Instead of going on with a Billy Wilder theme, or perchance an Elsa Lanchester or Una O’Connor theme, Steven wanted to see a movie with good music. I suggested The Big Chill (1983).
I think the above image is photo-shopped. I hope it is not copyright protected. I just found it on Facebook and downloaded it. I see it came from Marshall Jay Kaplan’s Fame Cafe. I think as long as I credit the source, it falls under the “fair use” clause. It seems the Facebook page last posted in 2016. I don’t properly understand the internet, as regular readers know.
Right now, I have more important things to ponder, such as what movie to watch next. Good music? Old movie? Monsters? The possibilities are endless. In the meantime, I need to finish this post. I think I will call it another Mental Meanderings Monday and include one more photo, just because three’s the charm.
I don’t know if we’ll watch Strangers on a Train (1951) next, but I’m having trouble finding a picture to include, so this will have to do. In fact, I did mention this as a movie to watch tonight, since the murder victim in Witness for the Prosecution shows up as in a small but pivotal role in Stranger on a Train. I guess I don’t know what movie, if any we will watch next. But at over 300 words, I call this respectable for a blog post. Happy Monday, everybody.



I really enjoy the older movies – especially the black and white ones. Characterizations seem so much better
Yes, and there is far less gore in the horror movies.
