Matinee Monday

Another Monday! Another Movie. This is another of my favorites.  A place in the sun.....








Staring......

Montgomery Cliff.....................George Eastman
Elizabeth Taylor.......................Angela Vickers
Shelly Winters..........................Alice Tripp

The young and poor George Eastman (Montgomery Clift) leaves his religious mother and Chicago and arrives in California expecting to find a better job in the business of his wealthy uncle Charles Eastman. His cousin Earl Eastman advises him that there are many women in the factory and the basic rule is that he must not hang around with any of them. George meets the worker of the assembly line, Alice Tripp, in the movie theater and they date. Meanwhile, the outcast George is promoted and he meets the gorgeous Angela Vickers at a party thrown at his uncle's house. Angela introduces him to the local high society and they fall in love with each other. However, Alice is pregnant and she wants to get married with George. During a dinner party at Angela's lake house with parents, relatives, and friends, Alice calls George from the bus station and gives him thirty minutes to meet her; otherwise she will crash the party and tell what has happened. George is pressed by the situation which ends 

Enjoy!

Matinee Monday (Sunset Blvd)

One of my favorite movies Sunset Boulevard and this Monday Matinee Movie.  netflix used to have it streaming but now it's not available.  You may still be able to get it by mail or try redbox

On to the movie

Sunset Boulevard

Staring:

William Holden ........ Joe Gillis
Gloria Swanson.........Norma Desmond
Nancy Olson..............Betty Schaefer
Erich Von Stroheim...Max Von Mayerling

The Plot:

The story, set in '50s Hollywood, focuses on Norma Desmond, a silent-screen goddess whose pathetic belief in her own indestructibility has turned her into a demented recluse. The crumbling Sunset Boulevard mansion where she lives with only her butler, Max who was once her director and husband has become her self-contained world. Norma dreams of a comeback to pictures and she begins a relationship with Joe Gillis, a small-time writer who becomes her lover, that will soon end with murder and total madness.











Enjoy!  Happy Monday
