Burnt Offerings is on (in the US, at least). Highly recommend this beautifully creepy, slow burn of a film. Karen Black, Bette Davis, Oliver Reed, and Burgess Meredith await you. Go watch it.

ON OUR MERRY WAY (1948)

Classified ads writer wants to be a roving reporter - I love a writer story!
I don't know why but I found the trumpet contest scene with Fonda & Stewart funnier than Fonda's performance in THE LADY EVE. Probably because the appeal of real life friendship between the two. There's also the real life marriage between Burgess & Paulette.
