I generally try not to duplicate films from the year before. NxNW is taking a year off. I’m fine with that. Either Penny Serenade or Bishop’s Wife swing in towards the end with a strong morality play for the holidays. Among the rest are a balance of black-and-white vs Technicolor; serious vs frivolous. There are many different Carys. It’s best to remember them all.
Feel free to play along at home.
And thanks, Cary.

Among his less savory qualities, he's a poor sport, a sore loser and ill fitted for honest labor. He makes bad friends and worse decisions. Animals avoid him and children despise him. He's been known to drink to excess, carry on with seditious talk and leer at women. He's a coward, a card cheat and a known liar.
Mrs. Call's second grade class said perhaps all that needed to be said about Larsen.In a moment of vindication and possibly clarity, Call would add to Larsen's permanent record that he was a bit of a dreamer and that Larsen was "an excellent student but his grades trailed off in the final semester."True, Larsen was filled with promise and saddled as starry-eyed but one can't help but notice that Call's inability to chisel this raffish diamond-in-rough wasn't also a clerical trick to distance herself from the responsibility of the 'Nurture' debate.She also said he was "prompt".She wasn't wrong.

yes who wouldn’t want to be Cary Grant ( apparently he didn’t for a while) – and that you could have so many years worth of films to watch.
i noticed Arsenic and old Lace hasn’t made the cut? z
