I checked this out with sort of a bad attitude, because I couldn’t imagine Gene Tierney being funny and I don’t usually care for Henry Fonda. But boy, was I wrong. It seems like a rip-off of the classic “Lady Eve” — OK, it obviously IS — but I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit more. The plot concerns Tierney luring affluent young men into marriage, then absconding with their money before the wedding. Fonda is her mark. But she falls in love with him instead. Go figure. Tierney is delightful, Fonda is fantastic, and the writing is first-rate. Glad I caught this one. It’s free on YouTube.

Someone got flooded out of their hide-out…
One of the backyard alligator lizards. They’re creepy enough when they’re not scaling the screen door like some nightmarish hellspawn.
For those who don’t creep out easily…
**Shudder.**
Let’s meet June head-on!
Josie-style!
Her first visit to the Big Park…
…was a big success!
For her. For us, it mostly consisted of us trying to keep her from pulling our arms out of their sockets (she’s a shrimp, but she’s STRONG like ox!), and yelling at her to stop barking.
But she loved it!
Face-off…
There’s a whole lake to swim in…
…and this happens. After a lot of angry honking back and forth, the family on the left relented and did a U turn.
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Of all of the Puppy Teeth of Death in Josie’s terrible maw, this one was the worst offender. I’ve got scars. The day she spit it out felt like Christmas!
A troubling pattern is emerging…
I feel like I’m being watched all the time. Am I quacking up?
Movie Review: Mitchell! (1975)
I watched this with the assistance of my beloved friends at Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Apparently, several minutes of key plot points were shaved off to accommodate commercial breaks and you know what? It doesn’t make any difference, because I don’t think it’s possible to actually get through this thing if you are paying attention to the plot. And that would entail paying attention to the hero, who is so unappealing that all you can do is point and laugh. Which is where MST3K comes in…they make the unbearable funny.
Post-spay fashion show…
The leopard print onesie was the hit of the season!
Behold, the flattering ‘tocks-hugging fit!
Dame Fashion says, “YES DAHLING!”
Movie Review: The Quiet Man (1952)
Sure, it’s a John Wayne movie, but the show belongs to the great Maureen O’Hara, who was never better, or more beautiful. One of my favorites, and an obligatory part of St. Patrick’s Day.
