In the meantime, as I rewatch a few old faves, I continue on my quest to look at some films that I've just never seen or simply dismissed:</p><p>In the last 2 weeks I have watched 2 films starring <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/CaryGrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CaryGrant</span></a>. <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/TheAwfulTruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheAwfulTruth</span></a> and <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ArsenicAndOldLace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArsenicAndOldLace</span></a>. Both were nice but I think that Grant was a bit hammy in the latter. I can completely see how that worked as a stage play. </p><p>2 rewatches were <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/MrSmithGoesToWashington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MrSmithGoesToWashington</span></a> 😍 <br><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/TheDoors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheDoors</span></a></p><p>I also watched the 2023 South Korean hit film #12:12TheDay.

Carl Johnson<p>How did I let decades pass without watching 1937's "The Awful Truth"? How did I dismiss Irene Dunne, who is absolutely on fire in it? And the arch and lovely Cecil Cunningham. </p><p>The dialogue is snappy, the premises absurd, the comedy in words, gestures, looks and situations. </p><p>Criterion Channel is featuring <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/ScrewballComedies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScrewballComedies</span></a> this month, and there are some real gems on offer. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/criterioncollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>criterioncollection</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/CriterionChannel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CriterionChannel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/theawfultruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theawfultruth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/30smovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>30smovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/comedies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comedies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/IreneDunne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IreneDunne</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/CaryGrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CaryGrant</span></a></p>
