I read an interview with Belinda Carlisle(!) once where she'd just finished #ErrolFlynn's autobiography. She said it was, "The sad story of a man who knows he has everything anyone could possibly want - but can't stop himself from throwing it all away." That's so painfully true.

Day 7 of March Madness and it's time for another mini Late Review... ... I promise, this is the last Marvel cartoon on the shelf.

It's World Book Day and I'm indecisive so for March Madness YOU can choose the next book I read! Options are in the link below, please comment with your choice (as I don't think we can do polls here yet)!

"There's only one 'e' in 'heroin'..." Famously the film Ant McPartlin and Jill Halfpenny saw on a date one evening after shooting #BykerGrove, I thought it was class: uplifting, funny and beautifully-written. Great work from Clement, La Frenais and Doyle. www.imdb.com/title/tt0101...

In #MyDaysWithErrolFlynn, his stunt double, #BusterWiles, mentions Errol on pretty much every third/fourth page. In #MyWickedWickedWays, Flynn's memoir, he mentions Wiles only twice... Take a look at the post below and help @latereviewer.bsky.social decide on their next read. #WorldBookDay

"You can't keep a love like ours in an envelope..." The OK musical remake of #TheShopAroundTheCorner (1940) begins well but starts to drag when the violin silliness takes over and I thought throughout how much I'd rather be watching the original film. www.imdb.com/title/tt0041...

"War's the only language men listen to..." An important period in history handled with sensitivity by everyone involved. Carey Mulligan was typically excellent and Abi Morgan's screenplay a respectful tribute to the thousands of women who fought so hard. www.imdb.com/title/tt3077...

"You've been drinking and I refuse to talk to you while you're in this condition!" Joan Crawford drives away her housekeeper, cousin and husband with her lies and manipulative behaviour, blaming everything on once catching her dad with another woman. www.imdb.com/title/tt0042...

"And how long have you been in love with my wife, Mr. Ibbetson?" So-so first fifty minutes but then it changes gear for the next thirty-five, becoming one of the most astounding, beautiful, painful bits of cinema I've ever seen. I'm amazed, I really am. www.imdb.com/title/tt0026...

"A party is to women what a battlefield is to men..." Affairs, alcoholism, attempted murder and an automobile smash-up - plus a suicide in a barn - this Joan Crawford soap opera has something for everyone. The writer wasn't too big on families, I gather. www.imdb.com/title/tt0048...

"Behind this door is death..." Produced by John Wayne, this pointless paean to human stupidity and animal cruelty had me rooting for the bulls throughout. Even if I didn't find its themes so abhorrent, I'd still struggle to praise it. Leaden and dull. www.imdb.com/title/tt0043...

"Doctor, doctor, I keep hearing jazz in my head, can't stop talking about the American Civil War and have a habit of slowly holding sepia photographs of days gone by up to my face, getting closer and closer to my eyes as if I'm zooming in on them." "Sounds like you belong in the (Ken) Burns Unit."

"Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?" Well-directed, solid story, genius performers and good musical numbers but it didn't really gel for me. I can't even say why, I just wasn't hugely invested and my attention wandered. A long 104 minutes. www.imdb.com/title/tt0034...

"You once said we belong because we both hated life..." I can almost forgive Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard for lying to Shirley Temple but stashing a stolen necklace down the neck of Grumpy the teddy bear was one of the cruelest moments of 1930s cinema. www.imdb.com/title/tt0025...
