Many thanks, too, for your always-helpful reminders of the great movies coming up on TCM, including NIAGARA and LADY IN THE LAKE. Ironically, we of Team Bartilucci playfully put it in our "Christmas Movie" category; hey, it's set during Christmas week, so it counts! :-) Until then, Happy Halloween!
DorianTB, Your very welcome. If you click on the "link" in the "your spotlight" you will see that all three "articles" are posted together.. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, your welcome on the reminders. It is my (I hope fun) way, of letting you know what classic movies, I'm planning on watching, in the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping that we have the same taste in films.
Last year... I also put "Lady In The Lake", in my Christmas Movie Categry... ohmygoodness, it does, look like we have the same taste in films.. ;D
Happy Halloween!
