Pillow to Post (1945)
Lupino is a Comedic natural-oh!
I know that for Ida's biggest desire was to write, act, direct, produce those meaningful films that discuss subject matters that she wanted to portray in her movies. Yet, what this film shows is her desires don't match her natural ability. She was a natural comic actor. Her timing, her phrasing, her physical comedy were all on display and on point in this movie - so much so - that this is by far my now favorite movie of hers. The cast is very talented and each plays their part so smooth that it doesn't seem as if they are acting at all. It is a pity that her heart was more towards the drama, just think of this era of movie making and those female comics and how those movies would have been different had Ida been allowed to be the female lead. Sad to think about, but sit back and watch a screwball comedy done right.
Northern Exposure: Aurora Borealis: A Fairy Tale for Big People (1990)
Great story line - song
The story of Adam and the good doc's paranoia just makes this a funny episode with a full moon to blame. In the original airing while driving out to see the Ranger The Coasters song Little Egypt plays - but in reruns/streaming that song has been replaced and I cannot find out the name of the song or the group that sings it. It doesn't sound like the Coasters - it actually sounds like Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs - but a search produces no findings. Back to the show - the acting is perfect and Chris discovers he has family and watching their quirks as they get to know one another is fun to watch.
