May is a month filled with B movie series: Dr. Kildare, Bomba, Mexican Spitfire, Tarzan, Jungle Jim, Maisie, Dick Tracy, Andy Hardy, etc. I intend to watch some of the Great Gildersleeve films because I liked the original radio show and the films are directed by Gordon Douglas, about whom I have written previously in this blog. I am also familiar with and recommend the Blondie series, about the American family and directed by Frank Strayer, and the Perry Mason series, truer to Erle Stanley Gardner's books than the TV show. Also:
May 3. Otto Preminger's Laura (1944), mysteriously beautiful
May 8, Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922), a vivid documentary.
May 10. von Sternberg's Shanghai Express (1934)
May 13. King Vidor's Stella Dallas (1937)
May 17, Lubitsch's elegant Angel (1937)
May 19. Andre De Toth's film noir Crime Wave (1954) and Lubitsch's intense comedy about the Nazis in Poland, To Be Or Not To Be (1942).
May 26. John Ford's film about glory in defeat, They Were Expendable (1945)
May 31. Orson Welles's great Touch of Evil (1958)
