Just one of the best films ever made, period.

Totally agree

The 1939 MGM production of It's a Wonderful World with Jimmy Stewart and Claudette Colbert. The film is a private dick comedy. I was surprised at the number of murders, attempted murders, and scheduled executions in a 1939 comedy. I'm a fan of Jimmy Stewart and his quirkiness, but even so I can give it only 5 on my "meh" scale. (It's a 1 to 10 scale.) It can be viewed here: https://ok.ru/video/723106007554

We're on a Corman/AI B-movie kick, most of which are not even review-worthy, like Diary of a High School Bride, in which lackluster, easily manipulated idiots flounder around talking into the camera. The coffee house scenes had good music. But if you take it seriously, this turkey includes a fatality that was completely undeserved. 1959.

We move on to Premature Burial with Ray Milland, who is his usual self in this 1962 film, which I saw as a kid and thought Vincent Price was the lead, for whatever odd reason. More people acting like idiots, and near-identical twins with The Fall of the House of Usher, which DID star Vincent Price, who we are now watching in his debut film, Service Deluxe, 1938. Or should I say, crawling through. More of the above.

"Portrait of Jennie" from 1948. A lovely mixing of the romantic and the supernatural starring Joseph Cotton and Jennifer Jones.

All that Heaven Allows 1955 - Douglas Sirk, with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson.

Dated, dated, dated, melodrama. If they had movies in the 19th century this would be one. Especially if they killed off one of the main leads, then you'll have a perfect Puccini opera.
This will make you look like Lloyd's Avatar with it's syrupy music, burrowed by Liszt, Brahms and Schumann with bad Rachmaninov piano.
However, the lighting and the sets are impeccable, maybe too much.

The movie was remade by Fassbinder in 1974, which is a must have. And then remade by Todd Haynes in 2002, which was quite forgettable.

What is interesting when you see a "dated" film is that you start nitpicking on all the improbable stuff. Like in the middle of a snow storm (in New England) Rock Hudson lets the door of his cottage open while helping Jane Wyman put on her shoes. None of the actors flinch at the wind gusts .You know the film is being shot in sunny California with fake snow
