Brook,
I assume that even though you're having to abstain a lot, that you've seen most of the films that are moving on? It sounds like you haven't seen very many of the Paramount comedies she was a designer on, but those seem to be losing badly, so I'm sure you'll be voting lots in the future rounds.

Yes, I've seen the famous ones, it's the little obscure ones you're digging up I haven't seen or even heard of.

You've never even heard of the Hope/Crosby Road Pictures?

The Road To... movies yes, but I don't know anything about Ball of Fire or My Favorite Spy which sounds like a Don Knotts Disney picture or something.

Ball of Fire is well worth a watch Brook. Howard Hawks directing a Bill Wilder screenplay. Barbara Stanwyck is the dame who first plays and then falls for the clueless academic Gary Cooper, admittedly a bit stiff in the Cary Grant role. But good fun nonetheless.
