Trouble in Mind seems to divide opinion. Worth it for Keith Carradine's hair transformation alone, but Divine is great as the crime boss. An air of doomed romance pervades everything. I love it. It's on Prime, too.

Nice! The first remake of Pépé le Moko (1937), released a year later. This has James M Cain on writing duty and is shot by James Wong Howe. Also, Hedy Lamarr! Charles Boyer! Worth a look.

It's that time of the month when 'titles expiring in the next 30 days' on Prime informs my watching. Thought I might put some up, starting with one I watched recently. The Coca-Cola Kid (1985) was like Bill Forsyth with a satirical edge. Despite a raft of disclaimers, still amazing this got released

I love it when you watch a film on Netflix with Ads and there are no ads.
