Vivacious Lady (1938) Ginger Rogers, James Stewart, Buelah Bondi, Charles Coburn, James Ellison. Trifle about college professor going to big city, marrying a chorus girl and bringing her back home. With dear old Dad a bully, Mom a devious marshmallow who turns the tables, and another women as his fiancee, this guy has problems. Why Ellison didn't have a bigger career, I don't know. He was good as the drunken best friend/cousin to new hubby. Cast knew these roles by heart. 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030944/
The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) Joseph Cotton, Agnes Moorehead, Tim Holt, Anne Baxter, Delores Costello. Great film. It's just me, but I love this Welles much more than Citizen Kane. Booth Tarkington is more in touch with my type of people. 10/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035015/
A Patch Of Blue (1965) Sidney Poiter, Shelley Winters, Wallace Ford, Elizabeth Hartman. Touching story of a black man trying to help a poor white blind girl with an abusive family. All roles acted to perfection. 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059573/
