Monday Movies

As I'm still recovering from bronchitis, I stayed home this weekend and got to watch some movies. I found 3 that I really liked.

Nobody's Fool - Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Jessica Tandy - a wonderful movie showing Paul Newman's versatility to play a stubborn man, a father trying to do better, and the average Joe. Jessica Tandy is Newman's landlady and their interactions are touching, friendly, and caring.

The King's Speech - Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush - Based on a true story - Colin Firth plays King George VI who is forced to take the throne after his brother abdicates to marry Mrs. Simpson. Both men are outstanding in their roles. I may have enjoyed it more being at home. Geoffrey Rush is amazing as an unconventional diction "teacher."

Father's Little Dividend - Spencer Tracey, Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor - Everyone is probably more familiar with the newer one with Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Martin Short (the wedding planner), but the original in black and white is in a class by itself. Spencer Tracey acts like a plain guy who becomes a grandfather, powerless over his family once the baby arrives. Classic Tracey eye gestures, which make him so lovable.
