Not just blackface but full minstrelsy. Worse than you’re imagining. Beyond that, glittering choreo, costumes & filmography. Solid Crosby.

This was quite cute. Some things haven't aged well. Other than that it was great fun.

A Christmas tradition, so it’s hard to rate. The musical numbers, excepting one, are gorgeous & timeless. Performers like Crosby are MIA.

Christmas was not complete until I had watched White Christmas and Holiday Inn. Great music.

It’s nice, although Fred Astaire is the “bad” guy. Another soft comedy without much problems.

To Catch a Thief

His Girl Friday
Walter Burns is an irresistibly conniving newspaper publisher desperate to woo back his paper’s star reporter, who also happens to be his estranged wife. She’s threatening to quit and settle down with a new beau, but, as Walter knows, she has a weakness: she can’t resist a juicy scoop.
Guys and Dolls
In New York, a gambler is challenged to take a cold female missionary to Havana, but they fall for each other, and the bet has a hidden motive to finance a crap game.

Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock needs a "forgotten man" to win a scavenger hunt, and no one is more forgotten than Godfrey Park, who resides in a dump by the East River.

As Irene falls for her new butler, Godfrey turns the tables and teaches the frivolous Bullocks a lesson or two.
