I've only seen
Cry Havoc
, which I very much enjoyed. But I'm a big fan of Joan Blondell, so I would probably enjoy
Miss Pacific Fleet
, too.
And
A Blueprint for Murder
sounds really interesting. Excellent cast and director. I will keep it in mind if it shows up where I can see it. -

i'm also a big fan of Joan Blondell and i'm going through her filmography at the moment. Miss Pacific Fleet is not a bad movie by all means and especially Joan is memorable and gives her usual snappy-soft performance here, so fans of her will love that, but she's sadly not the main focus of this film. that would be Allen Jenkins and Hugh Herbert doing silly shenanigans to each other which gets tedious real fast. i just wish there was less dumb men doing dumb stuff and more of Joan Blondell shining like a star.

The Other
, 50th anniversary viewing of the classic 1972 horror film, which I first saw in 1975 and then again in 1977 and don't believe I had seen it since till this July 27. It holds up well.
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
on July 29.
As usual, posted spoiler-free reviews.
Couldn't agree more.
