Movies I Watched in September


Tragedy struck this month. Our TV provider  decided it would be fun to remove TCM without warning. We were already thinking of going to a cheaper package but there were a few movies this month that I really wanted to see first. So, I did not get to finish The Story of Three Loves or watch Robert Ryan in Born to Be Bad and Marsha Hunt in None Shall Escape. :'(

* means a rewatch
  1. Our Blushing Brides (1930) - Joan Crawford & Robert Montgomery, Anita Page
  2. Live, Love and Learn (1937) - Robert Montgomery & Rosalind Russell, Monty Woolley
  3. Idiot’s Delight (1939) - Norma Shearer & Clark Gable
  4. *The Uninvited (1944) - Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, Gail Russell, Donald Crisp
  5. The Hucksters (1947) - Clark Gable & Deborah Kerr, Ava Gardner, Sydney Greenstreet, Adolph Menjou 
  6. The Red Shoes (1948) - Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook
  7. *Come to the Stable (1949) - Loretta Young, Celeste Holm, Hugh Marlowe
  8. Goodbye, My Fancy (1951) - Joan Crawford & Robert Young, Eve Arden

  10. The Story of Three Loves (1953) - Moira Shearer & James Mason, Agnes Moorehead (only the first "love")
  11. Living It Up (1954) - Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Janet Leigh
  12. The Barefoot Contessa (1954) - Ava Gardner, Humphrey Bogart, Rossano Brazzi (just last half with Brazzi)
  13. Summertime (1955) - Katharine Hepburn & Rossano Brazzi
  14. The End of the Affair (1955) - Van Johnson & Deborah Kerr, Peter Cushing

  16. The Bat (1959) - Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead
  17. Ship of Fools (1965) - Vivian Leigh, Simone Signoret, Jose Ferrer, Lee Marvin
Least Favorite Movie: As I mentioned above, I only watched the last half of The Barefoot Contessa. The first 20 minutes were kind of boring so I skipped to the part with Rossano Brazzi, my current movie crush ;)


Favorite Movie: I loved Summertime (Brazzi + Italy = ♥). The first part of The Story of Three Loves was beautiful and made me finally check out The Red Shoes. I really enjoyed Ship of Fools, especially the performance by Simone Signoret. And this part with Vivien Leigh ;)
