I just watched Across the Pacific (John Huston, 1942) and rated it 7/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Across_the_Pacific?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastadon #AcrossThePacific #HumphreyBogart #MaryAstor #JohnHuston some fun, sparky dialogue but the film loses its way once they reach the canal.

“The Case of the Howling Dog” (1934) is the first Perry Mason movie. The others done by Warren William in the 1930s tend to be breezy affairs, as I recall. This one, however, is a bit more serious, with a little edge to it and it all works extremely well. Mary Astor does an excellent job as Mason’s mysterious client.
