My Friend Irma

Dive into the enchanting world of Martin and Lewis in their inaugural movie, "My Friend Irma," directed by George Marshall in 1949. With its timeless appeal and vintage charm, this movie is a must-watch for fans of classic cinema and timeless humor.

Continuing my Martin and Lewis binge, I’m looking at their FIRST movie, the 1949, George Marshall directed film, “My Friend Irma,” a romantic musical comedy. Martin and Lewis aren’t actually the stars of this movie, that honor goes to Diana Lynn and Maire Wilson. The movie is adapted from an old radio show of the same name that first aired in 1947. It must have been very popular for it to be…

The Climax (1944)

"I don't hate you. I only hate the thing that's come between us: your voice."

"Yes, I know. You were out front tonight. I felt your eyes on me. Like you're looking at me now. Go away. Get out of here! I'm afraid of you."

"You needn't be. I love you, my darling, you know that. I'd give my life for you. This thing that shuts me out, I won't let it, I tell you I won't let it. It's here... now, between my fingers. I've only to close them to silence it forever."

Karloff is criminally underused as the Phantom insert #obsessed with a dead love (that he deaded) but the supporting cast make up for his absences. lovely Turhan Bey is a lovesick composer so #moved by his fiancée's first public performance that he eats his theatre programme. i mean if that doesn't sell it what will? also a stand #out is the perennially dependable Gomez as the brash theatre manager with a twinkle in his eye and a soft heart. a lot of fun this (ymmv)

Waiter: Here you are, sir. Dr. Jeff Cameron: These things are like water! Waiter: They creep up on you. Dr. Jeff Cameron: Bring me a couple more. Waiter: But, sir, you have four and we are only allowed two to a customer. Dr. Jeff Cameron: Why? Waiter: That drink makes a guy talk back to his mother-in-law. Dr. Jeff Cameron: What about his father-in-law? Waiter: I suppose so. Dr. Jeff Cameron: You’ve given me an idea.
