His Excellency wants to know if you have a request for an upcoming mystery movie. The Daily Mirror archives are spotty, so I can’t guarantee that I’ll have a copy, but if you have a request, drop me an email.

This is “Holy Matrimony,” a rather silly movie with one of those preposterous plots in which logic is thrown out the window, but watchable because of the performances, especially if you only know Monty Woolley from “The Man Who Came … Continue reading →

This is “Sister Kenny,” which I thought would be fun to post since Louella Parsons had recently written about it. You may recall that Parsons said Kenny was Rosalind Russell’s house guest while visiting Los Angeles.

This is “Make Way for Tomorrow,” an unusual and quite sentimental movie.

Yes, this is “Flying With Music,” or “The Cavalcade of Character Actors,” as we have been calling it around the Daily Mirror city room. The script is by M. Coates Webster, who mostly wrote Westerns, and the rather obscure Louis … Continue reading →
