Classic films are a part of my childhood & my study guides.If I need an idea for something vintage these movies help. And so,I thought that every so often I would suggest movies that I enjoy & maybe you would as well. Instead of making a big long list, I will take 2 at a time, give a brief synopsis & viewing suggestions.
Till we meet again (1940)
It stars Merle Oberon, George Brent & Pat O'Brien. The main characters Joan & Dan meet in a bar and are instantly attracted to each other. As they finish drinking a Paradise cocktail, they break the glasses, join the stems together & say good-bye.Dan is stopped outside the bar by O'Brien and they board the same ship that Joan is on.We soon learn they both have a secret that may keep them apart. The movie has a cool under water scene for a 40's film. Oberon is beautiful & Brent is suave. - -Recreate the ocean breeze & mist yourself. Serve Shrimp cocktails & make your own Paradise cocktail*. Then grab some tissue & enjoy.
The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
This is a sequel to Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester & Clive Colin.The monster survives the fire from the first film, as does Dr.Frankenstein. He is later forced by another scientist to make a mate for the monster & trouble ensues.This has it all, great score, crazed scientists, crying monster, cool hair & a dead chick ditching sweet dead guy for a rich doctor. --For this, serve something green(monster) like Guacamole & a drink called The Bride of Frankenstein*. A couple of these & you'll start walking & talking like the monster.
