[Immediately FREE] Wholesome Weekend Date Movie (Nov. 11, 2016)



Deborah Kerr  "makes time" with Trevor Howard

This week is a unique "little" film that I had never previously heard about until it was recommended to me by YouTube. 
I had no idea that a movie could so perfectly blend the elements of humor and suspense. But what is best about this movie is the captivating and stellar performance by Deborah Kerr in "I See a Dark Stranger" (1946).

She plays a young, Irish woman who decides to "sign up" in the IRA because she grew up hearing several  [ tall ] tales about her late father defeating the English almost single-handedly.


"But he is ENGLISH ! "
She leaves her small town, arrives in Dublin and ends up joining a group that is definitely against the English. But through her naivete, a series of ridiculous blunders and bad circumstances, it's actually a nest of German spies she's tumbled into and not the IRA at all. By the time she realizes what is really going on, she is up to her neck in trouble with only Trevor Howard to help her. The problem with that is  ... he is English! [GASP]


This is another story that will appeal to BOTH men and women, but this week you won't need any tissues to wipe away your tears. You'll be constantly swinging between laughing and gripping tightly to your chair (or preferably the person next to you).

NOTE:  [Once again] I caution you that lack of "graphic" scenes does not necessarily mean "safe for younger children". I'm also going to remind you to take an occasional breath while viewing this tense movie  (so you can't sue me later for not warning you adequately).





I don't have to "hope you enjoy this film" because I'm sure you will. But I always hope a good story will somehow enhance your date and your weekend.

Sincerely,  Laura-Lee

[Immediately FREE] Wholesome Weekend Date Movie (July 8 2016)

You almost didn't get a film this week. It's not that easy to find a film that fulfills ALL my requirements, especially the "immediately FREE" part. But this is the film I am currently watching myself, so we will learn together how it ends. 


One of Paul Henreid's first roles,
 when he was still using the name "Paul von Henreid"


I've picked a World War 2 spy thriller called, "Night Train to Munich" and it's got lots of plot twists (as all good spy thrillers do). That's the main appeal of them, trying to figure out who is a Nazi agent and who is the "double agent".  In the 1940's, when people did business with only a handshake, someone lying was a HUGE deal. But if the lies could land you in the hands of the dreaded Nazi's and maybe your son or husband was in these very circumstances, a movie with this topic was very prevalent. Today it simply makes for good story telling. 


Rex Harrison "sings" to Margaret Lockwood

So together we will find out if Rex Harrison, who is portraying an Englishman pretending to be a Nazi in order to retrieve a scientist (and his lovely daughter), will be able to carry out his mission. And ultimately, who will lose their lives in the process. Sacrifice being another key element in any good World War 2 film.

Have a good weekend everyone. Thank you for coming by again.

Sincerely, Laura-Lee
