Belle Of The Yukon 1945

 

Starring: Gypsy Rose Lee

A troupe of saloon entertainers in the Yukon become involved with a bank robbery.

Randolph Scott was prolific, he seems to be in every other movie I watch. This is one of the most lavish films I have seen for a long time, so colourful with amazing costumes. Once you cut through the glamorous surface, it is all a little underwhelming.      5/10

Vicki 1953

 

Starring: Jeanne Crain

A girl model is murdered, and her sister proves that her boyfriend is innocent, despite the efforts of a brutal detective.

Seen this type of movie a hundred times before, nothing new brought to the table and music grated on your nerves.    3/10

The Young In Heart 1938

 

Starring: Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

A family of charming confidence tricksters move in on a rich old lady but she brings out the best in them.

Delightful in parts, finishes nicely, is this one of the first occasions a fast sports car appears in a movie?  5/10
