Keeping Company 1940

Starring: Frank Morgan

A young man announces his engagement but has trouble when his ex-girlfriend returns to town.

Light hearted rom-com, although old-fashioned, still made me smile on several occasions. All wrapped up neatly at the end, this was not bad.        6/10

Crime Doctor 1943

Starring: Warner Baxter

An amnesiac becomes a successful psychiatrist, then discovers that he was once a wanted gangster.

The old amnesiac angle, amazing how often this comes up in movies. To be honest, this didn't bring anything new to the table although it led on to seven sequels.        3/10

Paris Blues 1961

Starring: Paul Newman

Two jazz musicians have romantic problems in Paris.

Set against a moody setting and backing soundtrack, the always reliable Sidney Poitier joins Newman where the subjects of love, race and drugs are lightly tackled amongst others. Only occasionally became uplifting, but always interesting.      6/10

Give me a sailor 1938

Starring: Martha Raye

An ugly girl envies her sister her beaux, but ends up winning a competition for beautiful legs.

Bob Hope has the most brilliant comic timing, a lot of modern comedians could do a lot worse than study his techniques. A dated movie of course, but made me smile on several occasions and had one great dance number.   6/10
