Star of Midnight is already set on my DVR, just waiting for its airing. It's a Ginger film we've never seen, and just as I have to watch every Holden or Coop movie ever made, my husband feels similarly about Ginger.
ReplyDeleteI think I will have to check out the Lizbeth Scott/Dan Duryea flick. While I don't much care for her, I do like Dan Duryea. I once read that he was known as "the heel with appeal." I agree with that. There's just something about him that appeals to me. Actually, for some strange reason, I seem to be drawn to "bad boy " actors...Robert Ryan, John Garfield. They (and Duryez) seldom play likeable guys, but I enjoy them nonetheless.
Have a wonderful weekend, Dawn.
Patti, I also.. can not wait to see the film, Star of Midnight. It is going to be great fun to see Ginger and Powell, perform in a film together.
ReplyDeleteI do not know what it is about those "bad boys" that us girls like so much..
Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful weekend too, stay cool.
