Indiscreet 1931

Starring: Gloria Swanson

A socialite endangers her own romance when she tries to protect her younger sister.

Improved hugely as it went on & thankfully most of the songs had been cut from this copy. Girl chucks boy, gets engaged to other man. Her sister falls for first boy & girl pretends she loves him again to protect her sister. Very amusing where Swanson pretends to be mad & the scene on the boat at the end gave this a most satisfactory ending. Dated but good fun.     5/10

Lured 1947

Starring: Lucille Ball

An American dancer stranded in London helps Scotland yard catch a killer.

Excellent crime thriller with plenty of suspects and red herrings. Lucille Ball plays it straight although her comic genius clearly lingers just below the surface. I liked the detective who kept stumbling across his crossword answers. Nicely put together & well acted movie.      8/10
