Movie night: ‘It Happened One Night’
1934 • Ellie’s pre-wedding self-pitying is a bit grating, but overall a fun little story. I’m still on the fence about Clark Gable, though.
Movie night: ‘Houseboat’
1958 • Cary Grant, Sophia Loren, three bratty enough kids and some good one-liners.
Movie night: ‘The Amazing Adventure’
1936 • Light-hearted fare that’s been done many times, but this time with Cary Grant.
Movie night: “Pimpernel’ Smith’
1941 • That’s right, a World War II film that came out just a couple of years into the war, and before the U.S. was involved. It’s clever, with smart humor.
