Discuss classic films (~1973 or earlier) that will hopefully bring more awareness of them as both entertainment as well as an art form.

Please share what classic films you have watched recently and give a brief review.

I watched the following:

The Lady from Shanghai (1947) - An interesting film noir by and starring Orson Welles also starring Rita Hayworth. Welles has a funny Irish accent in this, distracting but still a good performance. Rita Hayworth has an interesting role if you are used to seeing her in musicals mainly. Overall, a decent film that I'd watch again in the future.

Week-End in Havana (1941) - Not bad, nice Alice Faye and Carmen Miranda flick. Felt like a spiritual prequel to The Gang's All Here (1943) but maybe that's because of the two actresses I just mentioned.

Romance on the High Seas (1948) - I watched this one because it's Doris Day's first film. She was very charismatic and charming the entire film. Oscar Levant is in this one, unfortunately, but he's not as annoying as usual. I liked this movie, would watch again!
