Seán Says: The usual suspects.
 Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
 Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
 Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
 Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
 You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
 The next round starts on Monday at noon or later, FWFR time. |

Lemmy in for #1202
Blondie of the Follies—Marion Davies plays a chorus girl who ends up a kept woman. In real life she was William Randolph Hearst’s ‘Rosebud’.
Le Plaisir—Max Ophuls adapts three de Maupassant stories. This is not the first of my Reviews of Ophuls films to draw attention to his love of tracking shots. James Mason wrote a poem:
A shot that does not call for tracks
Is agony for poor old Max,
Who, separated from his dolly,
Is wrapped in deepest melancholy.
Once, when they took away his crane,
I thought he'd never smile again.
Female—Ruth Chatterton has inherited an automobile manufacturing company. George Brent is an engineer who has designed a nifty new clutch. They fall in love.
Night Court—Crooked-as-they-come judge Walter Huston makes life hell for honest taxi driver Phillips Holmes.
The Night Visitor—Max von Sydow escapes from his ‘escape proof’ mental hospital and runs around the countryside killing people before returning, thus establishing a ‘perfect’ alibi.
