I watched Annie Oakley (1935) on Filmstruck this morning. A nice little film about the female sharpshooter that performed in Buffalo Bill's western shows back in the day. George Stevens directed this film and had Preston Foster and Melvyn Douglas in the cast. Ms. Stanwyck was good and lovely as always with Moroni Olsen playing an older Buffalo Bill. The sequences with Sitting Bull always cracked me up.I loved the latest Noir Alley broadcast because Ms. Stanwyck is my all-time favorite actress. She stands along the Duke as my favorite male and female actors of all-time. Also, another film that I enjoyed of her's back then was Annie Oakley. I think Christmas in Connecticut was the frosting on the cake for me. My first film noir with her was Double Indemnity, but my favorite became The Strange Love of Martha Vickers.
Ford and Hayworth made a good film pair. I know they were romantically involved as Ford was quite the ladies man.I took one of your suggestions and watched Affair in Trinidad today on the TCM app. I thought I'd seen it before, but obviously I was thinking of another Rita Hayworth picture because I hadn't, and it was very enjoyable. Thanks for the suggestion!
FYI, I ordered this a couple of weeks ago and received my shipping notice from Amazon this morning. The disc should be here tomorrow.Guys,
Amazon is now selling "Odds Against Tomorrow" for $12.99. They're out of stock and are saying 2-3 months, but I bet you it gets in-stock much shorter than that time period. They're price-matching Best Buy.
You can almost forgive Eddie for his Belita fetish.I can't believe he's got Christmas Holiday which we were just talking about in another thread a day or two ago. And Pickup on South Street is one of my favorite all-time noirs with that great, great Oscar-nominated performance by Thelma Ritter.

If that's true then that is so disappointing.I think Christmas Holiday has been pulled from the schedule, unfortunately, and replaced with Beware, My Lovely.
No "Halloween" movie for me this morning instead I spent my time watching two of my unwatched Blu-rays. I'll have more to say later on these two films. One film is okay entertainment while the other film is simply a great film that still resonates today, 60 years after the play the movie is based on opened in the theater.Sorry guys, I took a break from watching any movies today. Maybe tomorrow, if I survive watching the new "Halloween" movie.
