    Genre: Classics, Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 68%

    My Comments: 07-23-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Not sophisticated but adorable 50’s musical comedy romance. There’s joy here.

    TMDB: “Ruth and her beautiful sister Eileen come to New York’s Greenwich Village looking for “fame, fortune and a ‘For Rent’ sign on Barrow Street”. They find an apartment, but fame and fortune are a lot more elusive. Ruth gets the attention of playboy publisher Bob Baker when she submits a story about her gorgeous sister Eileen. She tries to keep his attention by convincing him that she and the gorgeous, man-getting Eileen are one and the same person.”

    TMDB Rating: 68%

    My Comments: 07-14-2023 at SS’s place in Burlington with HS, SS. Watched on Netflix. Good and tender premise, but you have to endure a lot of crassness. We sure did enjoy being with SS for the evening, regardless!

    TMDB Rating: 68%

    Our Comments: √ 06-30-2023. PS, HS in Niagara. Always a lovely movie with a nice story and beautiful scenery. But this last time, I have to say, I’m disappointed in the lax sexuality. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star.

    Genre: Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 72%

    Our Comments: 06-10-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS). A strange type of comedy/adventure. Subtle wit and non-mainstream quirky, humanistic humor. If you want to try something quite different, then this could be worth a watch. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star

    TMDB: “Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other — to become brothers again like they used to be. Their “spiritual quest”, however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray).”

    Clean Rating: Not yet rated, but let me say quickly, there are inappropriate scenes that could be an issue for many viewers.

    Genre: Western (Spaghetti)
    TMDB Rating: 83%

    Our Comments: √ 05-16-2023 With HS in Niagara. Well made spaghetti western by the master of the genre, with excellent acting, overall structure and music. In some ways, the entire category is an acquired taste, but worth the effort to be able to appreciate the mastery. 3.5 star.

    From a clean rating standpoint, this movie is not suitable. We give it a Clean 2.5.
