Make that 4 abstains, one more and I'll have a killing spree!

 

[george kaplan]

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.

 

[Brook K]

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.

 

[Bill McA]

abstain

 

[george kaplan]

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

 

[Brook K]

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.

 

[Lew Crippen]

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.

 

[george kaplan]

Double Indemnity wins.

Next,

Sullivan's Travels vs. The Farmer's Daughter
