"Mother's newlywed character set fashion trends of the day. The standout was what Mother called her 'rumba dress,' worn for her first on-camera rumba. The black and white film didn't do justice to the striking satin panels of black and pink that matched the roses at the left side of the bodice." -Cheryl Crane

This day in Buster... November 4, 1945, "She Went to the Races" starring James Craig, Frances Gifford, Ava Gardner and Sig Ruman is released by MGM. Buster Keaton was a gag consultant, but one of the gags was really only suited for one man. Buster’s moment as a distracted bellboy was brief, but memorable!

Side Street (1950)

Movie #1,131 • WATCHLIST WEDNESDAYS

I guess this is considered a lesser film noir/Anthony Mann film, but I really enjoyed it. The seemingly paint-by-numbers police procedural plot is actually well-layered and it's both visually terrific and well-paced at an economical 83 minutes. The car chase shot on location through a desolate/old NYC is worth the watch alone.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Body of the Prey (1967)

My rating: 6/10

You know how it is: You get burnt out at your job as a NASA rocket scientist, so you go to Japan and make a plant Frankenstein (a Plantenstein, if you will) and feed it human blood and puppies to prove that humans are descended from plants, until it goes on a rampage and you both plummet into an active volcano, most likely permanently traumatizing that poor baby goat. That old chestnut.

Anyway, while this is quite entertaining in its wackiness, it's also really rather racist with its dodgy accents and naff exoticism, so that's not great.
