Movie Notebook #10: "Hanna" (2011)

"Hanna" (2011) - Vivian Lee
Gorgeous and unconventional - I need to see this again to connect some of the plot points. Even with the missing plot points I couldn't take my eyes off the tiny airplane screen.

Movie Notebook #9: "The 39 Steps" (1935)

"The 39 Steps" (1939) - Vivian Lee
-also would like to add that when Richard Hannay takes in the strange spy woman "Ms. Smith" the situation plays out as bizarre but so natural. And every time he pulls the herring out of the otherwise empty freezer I laugh. I was also curious about the Hayes Code in regards to the scene where the two runaways (pretending to be newlyweds) have to share a room and she removes her stockings. I wonder how risqué that was considered.

"Pygmalion" (1938) - Vivian Lee
More socially aware than the musical, but very bright and humorous.

"Les Diaboliques" (1955) - Vivian Lee
Since my initial viewing, I have watched this movie three or four more times. I'd watch it again right now if it was on.

Second or third time I've seen this. Cute movie, obviously.
