MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (dir: Vincente Minnelli, Not Rated) - Michelle says, "It establishes many of the cliches of Hollywood musicals, from the frilly costumes and ornate set designs to the brassy performances of familiar songs, but when Tootie wrecks her snowman in despair and cries at the thought of leaving St. Louis, when Esther makes neighbor John stay by her side while she snuffs all the lights in the house, when director Vincent Minnelli captures an only-slightly manic Judy Garland belting “The Trolley Song” or tenderly crooning “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” you’ll love this musical charmer about a family that considers moving away to New York, and then stays put for the World’s Fair."
THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW (dir: Fritz Lang, Not Rated) – Bart says, "Though it tends to get overshadowed by SCARLET STREET, the film Fritz Lang made the following year with almost the same cast, WOMAN IN THE WINDOW has the distinction of offering up one of film noir’s most sloppily executed murders. Practically a handbook on How Not To Kill Someone, we watch helplessly as sympathetic murderer Edward G. Robinson makes every stupid incriminating mistake imaginable. Moral of the story: Guilt makes our persecutors seem much smarter than they actually are."
