Where East Is East

🎵Now the moral of this story is cuff yo bitch, 'cause hey...🎵
She might try to steal your future son-in-law.

Decent for a late silent melodrama. A good, subtle makeup for Lon Chaney.

Reportedly contained some of Gene Kelly's personal favorite dance creations. If I had to guess (without going and looking it up), I would say the favorite is the final one, with Gene Kelly dancing through a medley of children's games/songs in a construction site. I mean, that was my favorite one here. The story is about a veteran (Kelly) who gets a quickie marriage and returns home three years later only to discover that his wife has basically moved on…

Marilyn and the Senator

1975

★★½ Watched

A female CIA agent decides she wants to get pregnant by a senator, but he has trouble getting it up. More of a self-important political satire than an arousing adult film (although there was a fair amount of sex). There were several funny moments, and the leading ladies were attractive. However, there was no reason for this to be over two hours. And then there were the two twists at the end... Good grief. [Vinegar Syndrome's DVD has a commentary track by star William Margold, so I'll be sitting through this one more time.]

Finally finished the trilogy, and like the first one, the three hours ed by like it was nothing. Lots of great character moments (which led to more familiar memes), a deepening of the drama, all building to the epic Battle of Helms Deep. Just, wow.
