The Blue Gardenia (1953, Unrated)
Obscure '50s movie starring Anne Baxter from All About Eve. Sort of a film noir/whodunit that is pretty engaging. Raymond Burr plays a total lech! |

The Trouble With Harry (1955, PG)
An unusual one for Hitchcock. This is kind of a dark comedy. It's set in New England in autumn. Shirley MacLaine is great in her first movie role. Full of small-town characters, it's different from the big-city or cross-country thrillers Hitchcock often made. |

It's Always Fair Weather (1955, Unrated)
Worth seeing if you are a fan of old musicals. Gene Kelly is good and Cyd Charisse is great. There are some good dance numbers, and Cyd plays an incredibly brainy career woman (unique for a 50s movie). The movie is a little downbeat, really, being about a trio of guys who are disillusioned about each other after the war and are exploited by TV producers. Not depressing, though, just a little different from some other musicals. |

Born Yesterday (1950, Unrated)
Worth seeing mostly for Judy Holliday's performance. Not very memorable otherwise. William Holden has never been one of my favorites, but he seems poorly cast as a nerd/romantic lead... |
