  1. One of my favorite movies, Midnight (1939), is currently on the Criterion Channel.

    It’s a fun take in the Cinderella story, with delightful performances by the legendary John Barrymore, a young Don Ameche, and academy award winning actress Claudette Colbert.

    It’s absolutely worth a watch if you have access to it.

  2. After the finishing the excellent but rather intense Apu Trilogy, my wife and I decided to unwind with a #screwballcomedy--#MitchellLeisen's 1939 film "Midnight."

    #ClaudetteColbert is a down-and-out chorus girl who passes herself off as Madame Czerny as she works her way up the Paris social ladder. #DonAmeche is her Hungarian taxi driver/co-conspirator.

    It's a #BillyWilder script, so this should be a lot of fun.
